Twitter posed the question this morning, what if men had periods? This inevitably prompted the trend #IfMenHadPeriods, where users shared what they believed the world would act if men took the brunt of the monthly gift. Campaigns have previously addressed this question. WaterAid imagined what ads would look like and found that 8 out of 10 respondents found that if men had periods, “there would be fewer myths and taboos about them.”
