*Horrified alien voice* So you’re telling me that you stick this blood-filled sack of skin and nerves inside of a moist, dripping flesh cavern, then millions of tiny white swimming worms come gushing out of the blood-filled sack and into that cavern, where they seek out this relatively giant “egg” and one of them invades and infects the egg… then the infected egg attaches itself to one of your internal organs, grows inside of you, and for nine entire months this parasite grows inside your body, eating your blood and squishing your organs, until it forces itself out of the same small opening the blood-filled sack went into, causing tearing, bleeding, pain, and screaming, there’s feces, piss, and effluvia EVERYWHERE, and even then you have to physically cut the parasite off of the host? And you could DIE doing all this? Then, the parasite is born helpless and is dependent on you for at least 16 MORE YEARS??? And this is how you REPRODUCE??!??! That’s like something out of a horror movie! On my planet, we just grow these buds that fall off, they go off and do their own thing, and don’t come back until they’re old enough to learn new things from us. Man, you humans are terrifying monstrosities!
What, there’s MORE? Wait, you mean that every month, the ones with the flesh caverns get punished by their bodies for not becoming infected with a parasite, by LOSING PARTS OF THEIR INTERNAL ORGANS, AND BLEEDING COPIOUSLY??? And they don’t DIE??? And this goes on every month for as long as FORTY YEARS??? Why aren’t you worshiping them as LIVING DEITIES??? I feel if they’re doing all that, they should be waited on hand and foot, with some of their devotees slitting their own throats in glorious self-sacrifice to the Great Bleeding Ones, at the very least.
*chill human voice* ya dude but for like most of our history they were seen as less and were given no rights at all. Some peaple did worship them not alot though.
*alien* HOW DID YOU GUYS EVEN EVOLVE?!?!
BTW This is a huge part of why I have no children.
I SAW ALIEN WHEN I WAS LIKE 10 OKAY I FORMED CERTAIN NOTIONS OF CHILDBIRTH AND SEX ED/HEALTH CLASS ONLY CEMENTED THOSE IDEAS
The Menstruatin’ with Satan program, founded by The Satanic Temple Arizona, is collecting donations of pads, tampons, and other menstrual supplies for incarcerated women, as well as fighting to raise the monthly allotment of products!
If you’re not in AZ, you can help out the Temple by buying them products on their Amazon Wish List, here.
And if you are in Arizona, help ‘em out! There are a bunch of drop-off and volunteer locations.
