It's not easy being in a woman. On top of all the pressures and unfairness society already puts on us, we have to deal with our godforsaken bodies. Did you know we go through four phases a month? Our cycles affect us in ways that men refuse to understand. Did you ever get the ever so misogynistic and unoriginal response during an argument, "you must be on your period!" Actually, SIR, I am not on my period, I'm 14 days BEFORE my period and if you knew that was my luteal phase you probably wouldn't have tried to fight me on if that one dog is cuter than mine. Because I WILL get offended, I WILL take it seriously, and I most definitely WILL cry. Crack that joke during my follicular phase and I would probably have just said "it's a good thing you're pretty" and move on. 

One man came to TikTok to get help from the ladies on what the "luteal" phase is. Apparently, he asked out a girl and she told him no because she was on her luteal phase, but to ask her again in two weeks when she is in her follicular phase. He was completely confused. Sure, he could've googled it and probably did, but it made much better content to come to the ladies on TikTok to help him out. In the video, he assumes that she is talking about something that has to do with astrology and he admits he doesn't know much about it. The women provide spot-on hilarious AND help advice in the comments. See below!

    Sydknee Luteal phase is when not even she knows why she's so mad, sad, bloated, etc but she is experiencing it with her whole being and can flip at the snap of the finger. Keely & Co. Why do we never realize the problem until after- like we haven't seen this play out month after month for years?! AA Megan It's so annoying

    yegbeaverqueen lol bless you. Half way in our cycle we literally lay an egg and now we're sitting on it then our period comes about two weeks later. Luteal phase is nesting, we have different preferences MoxieRocker I am calling it my nesting phase now instead of my "cry at puppies" phase. Ella 00000 oh my goddess I'm cracking up SANDY This explanation makes so much sense
