Normally, a person looses around 40ml of blood per period with people having 450 periods on average in their life. This means that on average a person would loose 18l of blood from menstruation alone. With the average human having between 4.5l and 5.7l, you'd only need to sacrifice 4 people to the menstruation gods to never have to shed blood for that ever again. ~~In my experience, it works best when sacrificing transphobes or terfs.~~
As a quick side note: I hate it when someone refers to it as a "pseudo-period". The hormonal cycle is very very real, I can assure you that.
Do you have a sauce in thede numbers?
amount of blood per period: https://www.menstrual-matters.com/bloodloss/ (35 - 40ml, i took the higher estimate, sources for the values at the bottom)
amount of periods in total: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2244694/ (451.3, rounded down to 450)
40ml * 450 = 18000ml = 18l
I can't find the original numbers for average blood content in a human but the general consensus seems to be that it's between 4.5 and 5.5. It doesn't really matter though since, even if we say that you'd sacrifice 4 people with only 4.5l of blood, you'd still reach your desired 18l of sacrificial blood.
Having never experienced or observed menstruation, i think its hilarious that there's dudes squeamish about that little blood lol; I've had that much just from nosebleeds! 40ml is not that much
True but it's not only blood. Source 1 says it's 70-80ml of fluids, 35-40ml of which is blood.
Regardless, as someone who has an almost obsessive fascination with our beautiful red fluid, the idea of someone being squeamish about blood is wild to me
Never lived with a woman? Like not even a mom, sister, or aunt?
Separate bathroom from parents, otherwise? Nope.
thx
