About women's bodies

I used to suffer from really painful menstrual cramps every month. Heavy vomiting, passing out over the toilet, nausea... I was in a relationship with a man who stood at the doorway of our bedroom and watched me lie curled up on the bed then said "It's not that your cramps are that bad. It's that you have such a low tolerance for pain." Seriously? Believe us when we tell you we are in pain.
