Man posts photo of his wife’s ‘period outfit’, other women condemn his action

A Reddit user, who posts under the username chrisflynn85, took a snap of his wife in what he calls her ‘Don’t touch me, I’m on my period!’ clothes, and posted it online, the sisters of social media weren’t best pleased. 

The photo, taken while his wife wasn’t looking, shows her wearing a dressing gown, baggy pyjama bottoms and fluffy socks.

Likely meant as a harmless joke, what the man hadn’t reckoned on was just how supportive the internet can be when it comes to sticking up for the sisterhood. In just one day the image clocked up more than 2 million views and almost 2,000 comments, most of which were standing up for his wife’s right to rock whatever she wanted during that time.

Some of the comments...

"When it’s that time of the month, us ladies do NOT care what we look like".


Afternoonofthefaun leapt to the wife’s defence, saying sarcastically:

‘What, pajamas? Do people normally walk around the house in lingerie or something?’


JessthePest also sympathised, writing:

'Mine’s a pink onesie with a hood. When I was pregnant I looked like a f****** telletubby. And I would totally share that pic with y'all here and now, if I could find it.


But despite the onslaught of comments, the man continued to stoke the fire posting 'If she sees this, pms is going to move to defcon 5’. And later joked that he had Googled divorce lawyers.

 

Do you think the picture is harmless or insensitive?

At the invitation of His Highness Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (@MohamedBinZayed), I am in Abu Dhabi for Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, where today I witnessed the signing of the Nigeria-United Arab Emirates Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement alongside His Highness, the President of the United Arab Emirates. This agreement is the result of sustained and disciplined work led by Minister Dr Jumoke Oduwole for Nigeria and by Minister Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi for the UAE. I commend both ministers and their teams for the seriousness and clarity that brought these negotiations to a conclusion. For Nigerians, this agreement is not abstract. It opens duty-free access for thousands of Nigerian products into the UAE, expands opportunities for our exporters, manufacturers, and service providers, and gives UAE investors clearer confidence to back Nigeria’s productive economy. This comprehensive agreement also supports our industrialisation and diversification goals and strengthens Nigeria’s position as a gateway for trade and investment into Africa. This is the work of economic reform, purposeful engagement and measured partnerships. The outcomes will serve Nigeria’s long-term national interest. May the renewed relationship between Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates continue to yield sustained dividends for both nations and our peoples. ~ Bola Ahmed Tinubu President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
