Olympic Star Brutally Mocked By Women For Bragging About Walking Runway On Her Period

“This is not a flex,” a viewer wrote. “Almost all women continue to work, wear bathing suits, go swimming, etc… when on their period.”

“So she walked while on her period? Didn’t know us women could do such a thing,” another added, sarcastically.

While many of her fans left positive comments below her post, most female netizens declared the reel as tone-deaf, especially in light of what they themselves push through during their menstrual cycles .

“Imagine being a female soldier in the trenches of war during your period. Cramps, clotting and all! That’s bravery to me,” another said.

“Imagine being a nurse, wearing all white and having super heavy periods, and still going to work for your 8 to 10 hour shift—5 minutes on the runway is peanuts compared to that.”
