Every woman knows very well that menstruation is not the most fun thing in the world. Probably one of the most nightmarish, especially if you experience it in an extreme degree of pain and general discomfort. There are of course those who do not understand what all this mess with the period, but because they are always men you do not take them so seriously - if you do not have a womb, you can not have an opinion.
However, a bar in Israel came up with a great idea to relieve women suffering from "those days of the month" and, at the same time, to give a small lesson of support and empathy to the rest of the world on the subject.
The bar Anna Loulou in the city of Jaffa, near Tel Aviv, decided to give a 25% discount on his drinks to those of his clients who are menstruating.
The two owners of the bar, the Moran Barir and Dana Etgar, considered that this discount is completely justified, considering that every woman spends a quarter of each month bleeding.
In an interview he gave in Haaretz, Barir said: "The whole idea was to offer a discount, our attention and a treat to someone, to say 'we recognize you, we recognize the special situation you are experiencing now and, look, we want to do you a favor'."
The bar offers this discount every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday, lasts for the whole night and can be picked up by any woman who just goes to the bar staff and says she has a period - without, of course, having to prove. The name of these special nights is, at least, appropriate: Bloody Hour.
Barir and Etgar not only want to offer a small gift to women with this move, but also to draw people's attention to the issue and open the debate around menstruation, both for women and for them. men.
"We want women to say, 'Hey, I'm having a period,' and that has a deeper and broader impact, allowing women to talk openly about it," says Barir. "As for men, I believe that these nights will begin to make the situation more common (s.s. period) in their eyes. Yes, women have a period and (men) should also ask questions and gather information around the subject. "It's not just a discussion for girls."
