Well, well, well, it appears the hostless Oscars came to play. The 2019 ceremony just delivered what could be an Academy Awards first: An acceptance speech dedicated to none other than menstrual periods!
Period. End of Sentence. just won the Oscar for Best Documentary Short. “I’m not crying because I’m on my period, or anything,” said director Rayka Zehtabchi. “I can’t believe a film about menstruation just won an Oscar,” she continued. Zehtabchi (who is 25!!) shared the stage with producer Melissa Berton and the rest of the Period team.
Period tells the story of women in rural India fighting for menstrual equality, in a place where periods still face intense stigma. The doc tells of the women’s pad-making operation. It’s a feel-good story for a good cause.
In the audience, Melissa McCarthy and Richard E. Grant also seemed thrilled about the short’s win. Whoever said “thank you” speeches should be canceled was just owned. Women’s empowerment leveled up. Periods got the attention they deserved. It was a win-win-win-win.
Watch the full acceptance speech below.
If Urinetown can win a Tony Award, why not this?

How bigoted of the writer. To assume only women have periods.....
They need to get woke.
But that was a GOOD movie.
Lil Annie Coulter should have been the presenter. She has been on her period for about 2 1/2 years.
Time was, you would only see an article with this content and this quality in The Onion......
Sounds like a two-hour Tampax commercial.
The political agendas of the voting were to “keep the protests against ‘racism’ and for ‘feminism’ alive”.
The Left has very successfully indoctrinated their sheeple in Hollywood.
Women and Blacks getting thee awards because they demanded reparations for not being worthy of winning in the past.
“Those little pads are most excellent for cleaning my rifles and sidearms. They have absolutely no lint and the gun oil lays mostly on the surface as they are designed to absorb a water based fluid. They are most excellent for cleaning a firearm with the exception of the bore. They are to big for this unless it is a shotgun.“
Interesting. Thanks.

My mom said the same thing. She thought she was bleeding to death.
She had 3 older sisters that could have prepared her. My grandmother was a midwife and couldn’t explain it.
Back then, talking to girls at 8 about their cycle was considered a bit early. I’m just glad she did tell us about it. I most likely would have really freaked.
I just could not for the life of me picture my grandmother, a common sense woman, excellent nurse, unable to explain it to her own daughter. I never thought to ask who told my mother’s younger sister before it hit her. Most likely my mother, not wanting her younger sister to be scared almost witless like she was because of lack of knowledge.
I don’t have girls. Still took the time to cover it with my sons and threatened their extinction if I ever heard of either of them mocking any girl about it.
Stan: Dude, my mom’s having her monthly visitor.
Kyle: Aunt Flo?
Stan: Yeah, every time she shows up - my mom turns into a total bitch!
