I think they should start with a woman doing it first to establish a baseline of pain-guys don’t know what menstrual pain is typical since they don’t get periods. That’s where I think they failed in this regard. Also, saw a comment about how they may have put the sensors on wrong so that could’ve impacted the accuracy of this pain challenge as far as what women deal with regularly. Every. Single. Month.

[@entirelybonkers8832]

@@hppyB to be fair it’s different for everyone some people have period pain so bad they end up in the hospital and would be max setting or higher and then there’s others who hardly get any pain at all

I think Courtney should have gone first, got the period simulator where she normally feels, and they have to do things on that setting

[@endeavor1664]

I agree, I was kinda hoping they'd do something like that

@@str8apem88 actually yeah i think biologically women have a higher pain tolerance than men

[@ghostinyourcloset]

@@str8apem88 not why that is. its because biologically speaking, men are stronger due to testosterone. the pain tolerance isnt relevant because the actual effects of a punch is going to harm a woman more than a man. anyway, i dont think violence should be aimed at anyone regardless of gender so

[@theDuckysaurus]

Shane had it on wrong, it isn’t supposed to be tingly, the tingle means the electricity is in the skin, not the muscle. So they applied the pads to the wrong spot, probably on most of them.

[@leahsawr]

it’s really nice to see someone who actually has periods use these simulators. ive always been curious how they compare.

[@hurricanechild217]

Especially since Courtney described the feelings so well and in a way people with periods could understand. "Cramps on fast forward" "If my uterus was right by my skin" "it tickles and cramps don't" All super good descriptors that makes it easier to understand.

[@str8apem88]

They use women for comparison all the time, and it always ends with a "men are weak little bitches to pain" thing. I'm so tire d of this stupid pissing contest gender war.

[@ciaranjohnston7983]

[@frankinsaneandmyrrh1202]

@@hurricanechild217 yeah, I've seen videos of women trying them but honestly never heard an explanation as good as Courtney's

Right! Because they're always vibration or shocker and that's just not the same sensation, it's more like someone's gripping your guts and tying really tight knots in them and then yanking them. Totally different feeling, so it was interesting to see if there was absolutely any real comparison at all.

[@isitleeyourelookingfor6352]

Also, the period cramp simulator is unironically validating lmao. I always feel like I'm being overdramatic when I do things like tremble, walk slowly, stand awkwardly, etc., so seeing all the guys do those exact same things was a bit reassuring lol

[@str8apem88]

You're not overre acting. If you're in pain, then you're in pain and fuck everyone who laughs at you for it. But please don't use this stupid cramp thing as an excuse to be "women strong, men weak".

[@TheKreature13666]

For me. Cramps just feels like my uterus is being used as a stress ball

[@suchageekblog]

So, as a cis gay guy, is there anything that guys can do (outside of the normal *don’t be a fucking prick* stuff) to help when someone is having cramps like that, or would there be anything that would make it at least a little bit less bad? (eg. “I’m having cramps, but someone just brought me cookies, so I’m in pain but at least I have cookies.”, offering to carry heavy stuff, etc)

[@JonathanYeets]

@@suchageekblog I mean. Midol helps a lot of us, so keeping that on hand is always a must. (It's also amazing for headaches in general.) It mostly comes down to the person though. We're all in pain, but we deal with it in completely different ways. My thing is a heating pad, never-ending Dr. Pepper, and a video game. But I know a girl who gets four different ice creams and watches Harry Potter over and over. Ask or figure out their normal cravings and habits and adjust. But Under No Circumstances do you wait hand and foot. Treat it like any other day. Some people might be about that, but everyone I know hates that. Something I have come to say is "Treat them like they just had a very minor surgery and are almost finished recovering," they are still in pain, but can function on their own.

[@greenwren2920]

I feel like the period pain one despite not being a perfect replication really shows how girls learn to socially mask their pain. You can just see how much more used to not only that kind of pain but particularly masking it in public Courtney is vs the others.

[@catmoonkenobi]

Completely true, but what are you really supposed to do? I don't really percieve this as a battle of the sexes, it's just a collective group of people regularly experiencing pain managing to deal with it. Lot's of people have things they're required to manage to function, and this is just an extent of that - albiet occuring on such a wide scale and a particular category of people. I'm not saying men shouldn't be accomodating, but if men also experienced this I believe you'd see them adapt similarly. It shouldn't be shocking this is more uncomfortable for people experiencing it for the first time.

[@paulk5670]

​@@catmoonkenobi I think on a personal level you can just try to show empathy towards others who may appear grumpy or short because you don't know what invisible issues they may be experiencing. This is more widely applicable than just period pain, but certainly understanding something that affects roughly half the population for decades of their lives is probably worth considering. On an institutional level, organizations can try to be more flexible around scheduling, time off, etc. to accommodate people that may have intermittent conditions. At a government level, policies that support companies for building in flexibility and proactively seeking to provide accommodations can be beneficial. As a society we benefit from greater workforce participation, even when there may be 'inefficiencies' at the individual level in terms of increased quality of life and better integration of people with chronic conditions into society, rather than marginalization that can increase crines of poverty, desperation, increased police and welfare costs, etc.

[@PrimordialNyx]

​@@catmoonkenobi exactly. Men don't get periods. But there are several other issues that cause physical or/mental or emotional pain that both sexes experience, and almost all of them adapt and get used to it, learn how to "mask" it in public etc. Also I these kinds of videos I've seen several people who laugh at men in these videos. Like.. that's like laughing at a girl who experiences her first period or something. They don't know that pain and are not accustomed or used to, or prepared for it or built for it biologically. There is absolutely no reason to mock them..

[@YouLikeKrabbyPattiesDontYou]

@@PrimordialNyx plenty of men get periods, like trans and/or some intersex men. and there are many women that don't, like those with amenorrhea, if they've had hysterectomies, if they're infertile for specific reasons that also cause a lack of periods and, again, trans and/or some intersex women. i also don't see anyone mocking anyone being mocked in the comment you responded to, so unsure where that response came from.

[@catmoonkenobi]

@@paulk5670 Sorry my hypothetical was geared towards what individuals are supposed to do when experiencing this pain, not what everyone else can do. I was responding exclusively to the observation made towards Courtney handling the pain; thus, what is she supposed to do if not handle it? I think like anything in your life that brings pain and anymosity you have choices in how you approach and deal with them. Doesn't make what's happening to you better, but you make everything a whole lot worse for yourself if you just mope around complaining about it. So women don't? Good for them.

The best way to describe period pains to someone who's never experienced them, it feels like you have a diarrhea stomachache but going to the bathroom doesn't help, and you're just leaking blood and clots the entire time.

Either she is a machine or migraines vary a lot more than I thought, I've only had a migraine a handful of times and every time I couldn't function like my brain was overwhelmed by everything so I just slept and usually I can't sleep even at the end of a long day...

[@thebadpoet]

@tom unsworth migraines vary but so do people. I get a lot of migraines, and it’s a severe one sided headache and also nausea and vomiting, and also weird sensory stuff (all my senses are on overdrive, loose clothing feels tight and I can smell things from a cross a room) but I’ve done twelve hour technical rehearsals for a show I was costuming with a migraine (I did sleep through the two hour dinner break and then spend literally three of the second five hour chunk in the bathroom throwing up) and I was a bridesmaid in a wedding through the worst migraine of my life. Courtney is moving their head a lot, and able to bend down so hopefully their migraine here isn’t too intense but even a mild one, or one kept from being truly impossible to function through by medication, would be miserable to film with. No wonder she had no patience for those awful chicken noises!

[@vdd]

[@arshitaimmanuel9802]

@LeNuiz they've mentioned that they suffer with severe migraines for the past 3 years, so im sure this was one of their migraine episodes. props to them, they are really dope for being able to still work in that pain.

[@robo7643]

​@LeNuiz my friend get cluster migraines which are the most painful and I don't even know how he functions 🥲

[@amberdawn5372]

@LeNuiz Some people with migraines, especially if they are frequent, can function well enough when it’s developing or fading depending on how sudden the onset is. Or if it’s a less intense migraine than their normal ones. There’s also other types of less common migraines that can present differently. I was diagnosed with a weird type of vertigo migraine when I was 10ish. I hardly ever had pain with them beyond a slight headache sometimes after an episode, but I would get sudden bouts of dizziness and tunnel/blackout vision and often fainting until finding a med that limited the frequency and symptoms mostly to dizziness and slight tunnel vision instead of full vision blackout and fainting. It was 3 or 4 months and a ridiculous amount of tests before an ophthalmologist who knew someone with a similar problem suggested visiting a migraine specialist neurologist and that’s when I finally got a diagnosis. No one else ever thought migraines because i didn’t have the normal symptoms, even though that’s what it was.

[@toxxsikttv]

@LeNuiz when you get regular migraines you have to be able to function in society anyway, even though all you wanna do is lay in bed in the dark much like period cramps :)

I was thinking the nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, headaches, unbearable fatigue and hot flashes/sweating, and the fact that food is either your best friend or the enemy depending on the month. Or how unpredictable each month is with what time of day it's coming, what exact day it's coming (cuz, you know, if you're stressed or sick it likes to come earlier or later for fun to throw off your cycle), and what severity it's going to be +some month it's bearable, and some months you feel like you're dying).

@@novaeffect6714 The argument they are making is that since the whole thing was based on not making sound rather than how much pain you could take Courtney failed because she couldn't not make sound.

[@rectov9003]

I think people have different tolerances for different types of pain. Youre gonna have less tolerance for a type of pain you don't experience much. I'll tear a tonail off and not care much because they get messed up often by my boots but I can barely move when I get the flu because I rarely get sick.

Also the fact that all the guys had it on 5 and were scared to put it up higher because of how painful it was... Then Courtney comes out with, "Oh, 5 is nothing. *The maximum setting* is the closest to my experience." Then she does everything pretty normally (before it gave her actual cramps) XD It's honestly pretty eye opening, as someone who doesn't have a period. Usually in these "trying period cramp simulator" videos they just have a bunch of men experience it... However, having someone that has to deal with the real thing try it with them definitely helps to put it in perspective. I already knew dealing with a period was rough, but holy shit lol
