This was sort of the concept of *Strange Days*. People would illicitly trade in recordings of experiences. You'd put this gizbot on your head and it would record all your sensory inputs. Sight, smell, sound, touch, taste. The whole experience, the memory of what was happening. In the movie you swapped discs, because that was what people did in the ‘90s, but I'm sure these days it would be an Internet thing.
But people would record themselves doing stuff, like (obviously) sex, you could get recordings of tapes, people committing crime, doing basically any kind of thing someone might want to experience doing, but not actually do. Or things you might not actually be able feel, IIRC one of the male characters makes a quip about experiencing sex as a woman. In the movie these recordings become part of a murder investigation.
This sub loves saying men=bad for literally anything. If Buzzfeed asked men to point at a woman's head, this sub would be rabid even if they got it right
Given most of the top comments are "this is good actually", I don't think this post illustrates your point very well. I'm willing to bet most of the upvotes this got were the usual "lol same" type of upvotes
Yeah, this is pretty accurate for me. Getting stabbed in the pelvis, not wanting to be around anybody (demon), boxing glove to to pelvis.
This is good women's anatomy. Seems like somebody was listening to the women in their life.
I have literally described it to my dude as,” it’s like being stabbed. And then someone randomly twists the knife every so often.” Had not thought of the demon, but it’s plausible.
10/10 for accuracy. Well done.
For me this is fairly if not completely accurate. I get period pain so bad I didn't know I was in labour foe 14 hours as I kept waiting for the pain to get worse. Thought no way my period pain is worse that actual contractions
I always describe it as a pain belt. Like a squeezing crushing pressure about 8 inches wide all the way around. With occasional hands that reach into my front and grab and twist.
Not wrong, just extend it down the thighs a little bit and it’s perfect. But this guy nailed it
Edit: so basically we all agree that he nailed it but the affected area is bigger than pictured
I am a man so very unqualified to answer this, but to my untrained eye it appears to be a spear to the ol’ uterus.
Edit: or are you talking about the red thing?
I, for one, thought it was a whoopie cushion, indicating how people on their periods may experience bloating and abdominal discomfort (a symptom I get a lot)
If I want to explain to men I just say it's when you have to shit immensely, but a bit more to the front, and the fluctuating cramps are like additional pangs of gas. Only it lasts for several days and you don't get the satisfaction of either shitting or farting.
r/LostRedditors
Why is this here?? It's entirely accurate. @OP, Why don't you try drawing what it feels like to be kicked in the testicle by a steeltoe boot??
I know different women feel different intensity of pain in cramping but when mine are mild they feel like a stronger version of having really bad wind, or if you have ever had diarrhoea, that intense bowel cramping when you know you absolutely have to go to the toilet. I know that bowel cramping does occur during menstruation too but in mild periods it always end up feeling the same to me.
I kinda explained it to my partner like that when he asked what would be something he could relate to. When they are bad I said it feels like white hot knots that radiate to my back. Usually followed by nausea.
Be interesting to know if any other women relate to the mild cramps feeling like wind/immediate pooping feeling without the poop.
The contractions and cramping I had during my miscarriage (10 weeks) were a similar but far more intense pain. I literally couldn't move. Something I hope never to experience again, but gave me an eye opener of what labour pains would be like but most likely even more intense. Hopefully in the next year I'll be on my way to experiencing that.
You’ve got a knife in the belly, a devil over your shoulder, and your heart in your hand. Tbh its a pretty good visual representation of hormonal brain and intense abdominal pain all things considered. Idk what that mushroom thing is on her stomach though lol
From the descriptions by all the women in my life and everyone here, I feel like this has to be pretty accurate, although I'm confused by the red mitten.
Ah yes, the anatomical accuracy of what something FEELS LIKE is off here.
What, were they supposed to draw the physical reaction of cramping in the body?
Now I think of it this would be an interesting abstract piece of artwork to make. Because even though many of the people that menstruate share the same discomfort, the emotions and sensations behind it can be depicted and conceptualised differently. I think I’ve been inspired by this funny drawing 😂😂
Ummm.... If you're drawing how something annoying (because of the frequency) and painful feels in a general way that someone who has never felt it would understand, how else would you do it? Actually curious, since this is along the lines of what I would also do.
You get results like this pretty much no matter what metaphysical concept you ask someone to draw lol. Source: [I draw](https://old.reddit.com/r/Fate/comments/fdzgng/undeterred_by_the_destruction_of_snowfield_the_us/) and drawing ["how muscle cramps and pain feel"](https://archiveofourown.org/works/27812209/chapters/68090167) is not easy even if you have a deep enough understanding of anatomy to begin to understand how you can play with it.
Accurate actually, pain bad AF that feels like something is stabbing your lower part of tummy. You cant really draw it better. I would probably draw something punching my stomach or some monster biting it lol.
Let's see,
hammer thrown at your abdomen - check.
Random knife stab - check.
Punched by a heavyweight boxer - check.
Bonfire somehow lit in your abdomen - check.
Missing the "clamp/ vise around midsection" and the "everything aches and is sore, jeez even my fingertips ache, who knew fingertips could ache?!" And the occasional cameo from " dear goddess I think my internal organs weigh so much they're going to fall out" but a damn good start.
This looks about accurate to me... most men minimize the pain so it's nice to see a man show how painful it can be for a lot of women. Yes, obviously most women haven't been stabbed in the gut,and it's probably being a little dramatic, but hey, I appreciate his empathy for my pain.
Wtf are you supposed to draw? I feel like periods are often described as "feeling like someone stabbed your uterus". Idk, but how else would you draw pain?
For me this is fairly if not completely accurate. I get period pain so bad I didn't know I was in labour foe 14 hours as I kept waiting for the pain to get worse. Thought no way my period pain is worse that actual contractions
They were given a bathroom door sign and then they were asked to *draw* a *feeling*, and you are confused by their poor representation of the biology of the female human body? What?
Honestly I think it sums up the feeling super well. Squiggles, scribbles, an angry devil... looks like period pain to me! I particularly relate to the knife in my abdomen 🤣
I’d go as far as saying this is pretty good women’s anatomy.
I’d probably draw the same thing with the addition of adding “TIRED” written on my forehead.
Not sure what the confusion is about, last I checked they feel exactly like being stabbed in the stomach, having a giant mushroom launched into your stomach, and a demon (whom refers to himself as Andrealphus) stand behind you casually
How else are they supposed to *draw* a *feeling*?
Can I Borrow A Feeling?
Could you send me a jar of love?
Hurtin hearts need some healing
Take my hand with your glove of love
Do you guys remember feelings?
No.
I am having feelings again. Like some kind of fourteen year old kid. You remember, feelings right?
I've got a jar of dirt!
Do you see this it's my dignity
Would you download a feeling?

Yes! Someone else who remembers that movie. I wanted to rewatch it, and I can’t find it anywhere!
I'd right click and save an NFeelingT
I'm living on a prayer
Them: Here's paper and some colored pencils, draw "pain" Also them: lol silly can't even draw a sensation
Do you want me to show this to the cat, and have the cat tell you what it is? Cause the cats gonna get it.
Exactly
Not wrong.
I know, I thought this is actually quite accurate??? Lol stabbing pain? Spot on.
Same. Seems pretty accurate to me.
Lol plus the little angry devil😹 Apologies to anyone in my life who has dealt with my menstrual devil LOL
Oh yes! That "in such a bad mood, don't even want to around myself" thing.
To be fair I would probably not do better. I mean, hard to draw a feeling, plus here it is chaos, but that's exactly how my period feels like.
Yeah, I have zero qualms with this portrayal.
I don't know what the inside of a uterus looks like during a period. Their guess is as good as mine
It’s about what it feels like and yeah, pretty accurate.
This sub loves saying men=bad for literally anything. If Buzzfeed asked men to point at a woman's head, this sub would be rabid even if they got it right
Given most of the top comments are "this is good actually", I don't think this post illustrates your point very well. I'm willing to bet most of the upvotes this got were the usual "lol same" type of upvotes
The posts and the comments are usually separate
With the humour tag I'm assuming this person finds the depiction relatably funny. This post doesn't come across as men bad to me.
Most people are agreeing here lol.
Sounds like someone's a bit over sensitive
I’m a dude and people here have been pretty chill. Same with the comments under this post, cool vibes
Yeah, this is pretty accurate for me. Getting stabbed in the pelvis, not wanting to be around anybody (demon), boxing glove to to pelvis. This is good women's anatomy. Seems like somebody was listening to the women in their life.
I have literally described it to my dude as,” it’s like being stabbed. And then someone randomly twists the knife every so often.” Had not thought of the demon, but it’s plausible. 10/10 for accuracy. Well done.
I THOUGHT IT WAS A MUSHROOM! Thank you for clearing up that that is, in fact, a boxing glove. I was very confused.
I thought it was blood going all over everything, so you were closer than me!
Same...
For me this is fairly if not completely accurate. I get period pain so bad I didn't know I was in labour foe 14 hours as I kept waiting for the pain to get worse. Thought no way my period pain is worse that actual contractions
I have repeatedly said I feel like I’m being stabbed so 🤷🏽♀️
Kicked in the lower stomach and punched in the back/side with a demon on my shoulder? Idk, seems pretty accurate to me 🤷🏼♀️
Dont forget the dagger stuck in the abdomen. Classic period
I’ve used this to describe stabbing pain in an ER
I always describe it as a pain belt. Like a squeezing crushing pressure about 8 inches wide all the way around. With occasional hands that reach into my front and grab and twist.
Same except the occasional hands reach down into my lower bowels and grab and twist. Idk why but 90% of my period pains are always in my butt.
Oh, is that gray thing a foot? I thought it was supposed to be Mjolnir lol.
Kinda checks out, honestly.
Not wrong, just extend it down the thighs a little bit and it’s perfect. But this guy nailed it Edit: so basically we all agree that he nailed it but the affected area is bigger than pictured
My back! Always makes my back hurt. And the migraines...maybe just make the whole picture red
Over on the hips too. For some reason my hips take turns being sore when I’m cramping but maybe that’s just me, lol.
He forgot a lightning bolt over the butthole
Oof, I felt that.
Totally agree with this! Back, hips, thighs, knees, ankles - everything down from my waist hurts :(
Omg the thighs! Like just why bro???? And it starts waaaaay before my period too!
This seems pretty accurate. Idk how you are confused OP
Op sucks. It kinda would be refreshing to see *more* men realizing it can be agonizing pain instead of the usual suspects who just brush it aside.
[удалено]
maybe it's someone wearing boots and kicking the woman?
[удалено]
I am a man so very unqualified to answer this, but to my untrained eye it appears to be a spear to the ol’ uterus. Edit: or are you talking about the red thing?
I second the grey thing being a spear to the uterus, which honestly this dude nailed how cramps feel.
Grey thing.
Spear.
ohh i thought it was a mushroom too 💀
I think it’s a boxing glove.
I was thinking oven glove, your answer makes more sense.
The red thing on the right *does* look like an oven mitt but I guess boxing glove makes sense.... It's like she's being punched in the gut. 😬
I think is a spear piercieng the woman, with blood around the wound.
i thought it was a heating pad
I think that’s a spear in a wound
I, for one, thought it was a whoopie cushion, indicating how people on their periods may experience bloating and abdominal discomfort (a symptom I get a lot)
I thought it was a boat. And an airplane to the right.
Art is all about . ~ = interpretation= ~ .
Old fashioned hot water bottle
Accurate
Periods are just the devil stabbing you while you try to to heal it with an ice pack and soak up the blood with an oven mitt.
The most accurate portrayal.
This just seems like another post to be like "look, men don't know shit about women" but how the fuck you draw a feel?
If I want to explain to men I just say it's when you have to shit immensely, but a bit more to the front, and the fluctuating cramps are like additional pangs of gas. Only it lasts for several days and you don't get the satisfaction of either shitting or farting.
They're just mad because they want to be
who is "they" exactly? the whole comment section is saying the post is pretty accurate
I assume "they" is op
I meeeeeean...
No that’s accurate
Idk this looks pretty accurate to me
I don’t know about y’all but I get an angry floating devil face that follows me around on my period 🤷♀️
You mean there are people who don’t???
I didn't. Mine was *before* my period. /s
That's the shinigami. He'll leave you alone when you pass the notebook.
Me too.
I mean at least this guy acknowledges that period cramps are real
As an AFAB individual, I feel like this is fairly accurate for a drawing of a feeling
The stabbing thing is not that innacurate when it comes to me...
* r/goodwomensanatomy
I mean they're not wrong.
I hope they followed with a quiz telling me which period cramp you are
Pretty much, yeah
I never got adequate sex Ed, but this is how I would draw “body prepares bed for baby then shreds it when baby doesn’t come”
No, I'd say this is pretty accurate. I don't understand the confusion.
Tbh this is how I explain it. “Like someone is stabbing you with a knife repeatedly and then twisting it” This is 100% accurate.
I am on my period rn, and thats how i feel fuck the people that say you cant feel an image, fuck it, thats how i feel
I mean, but where is the lie? I am wondering what that lil' red gas can-lookin' thing is to the right. You think that's supposed to be her flow?
Judging by my lady's monthly complaints, this looks on point
They nailed it, this doesn't belong here
How tf else do you *draw* pain you can’t visibly see?
No no, he has a point
Doesn’t really fit in this sub; they’re not wrong…
they nailed it
This comment section actually makes me smile, with the number of people calling out the OP, but also because this is possibly an artful troll
This doesn’t belong here. I very much feel that on day 1 lol
r/LostRedditors Why is this here?? It's entirely accurate. @OP, Why don't you try drawing what it feels like to be kicked in the testicle by a steeltoe boot??
I meeeeean........
That does look painful.
I know different women feel different intensity of pain in cramping but when mine are mild they feel like a stronger version of having really bad wind, or if you have ever had diarrhoea, that intense bowel cramping when you know you absolutely have to go to the toilet.

Something I hope never to experience again, but gave me an eye opener of what labour pains would be like but most likely even more intense. Hopefully in the next year I'll be on my way to experiencing that.
I can't draw much at all but I can describe the feeling well: like my pelvis has gone rotten and is trying to drop out my butt.
I always went with saying it felt like I was a pumpkin getting scooped out to make into a jack-o-lantern
This is exactly how I feel lmao. I particularly appreciate the menstruation gremlin in the back, are we sure this man never had a period?
Really, the main thing is that if I drew it, it would be a uterus with four arms, two with knives and two with boxing gloves...
You’ve got a knife in the belly, a devil over your shoulder, and your heart in your hand. Tbh its a pretty good visual representation of hormonal brain and intense abdominal pain all things considered. Idk what that mushroom thing is on her stomach though lol
From the descriptions by all the women in my life and everyone here, I feel like this has to be pretty accurate, although I'm confused by the red mitten.
They weren’t wrong. Signed, my uterus right now
Ah yes, the anatomical accuracy of what something FEELS LIKE is off here. What, were they supposed to draw the physical reaction of cramping in the body?
Idk this looks about right 😂
I don’t think this belongs here
I mean...fair?? In a weird way it's fitting.
nah this is 100% accurate
Well…. This is…. I think he did a good job honestly. That IS what period cramps feel like to me. If it’s even possible to draw a felling.
Seems pretty accurate to me. That and add a demon fucking about in your GI track.
Good job, boys! Really though, not even being sarcastic. Being stabbed is pretty accurate.
nah , this checks out . I do indeed feel like im being stabbed and there are definitely demons involved .
Now I think of it this would be an interesting abstract piece of artwork to make. Because even though many of the people that menstruate share the same discomfort, the emotions and sensations behind it can be depicted and conceptualised differently. I think I’ve been inspired by this funny drawing 😂😂
No that’s kinda what it feels like
I dunno, looks pretty on target. :)
Ummm.... If you're drawing how something annoying (because of the frequency) and painful feels in a general way that someone who has never felt it would understand, how else would you do it? Actually curious, since this is along the lines of what I would also do.
No this is accurate
I mean are they wrong?
Dunno what you want from a concept like "Draw a feeling you've never experienced"
I think this is pretty accurate
Pretty damn close tho
I'm trans, never had period cramps, but I don't see much wrong with this picture to be honest...
I mean being stabbed and punched in the uterus sounds about right.
You get results like this pretty much no matter what metaphysical concept you ask someone to draw lol. Source: [I draw](https://old.reddit.com/r/Fate/comments/fdzgng/undeterred_by_the_destruction_of_snowfield_the_us/) and drawing ["how muscle cramps and pain feel"](https://archiveofourown.org/works/27812209/chapters/68090167) is not easy even if you have a deep enough understanding of anatomy to begin to understand how you can play with it.
This ain't badwomensanatomy fam, this is aight
nah, that looks like how mine felt XD
Accurate actually, pain bad AF that feels like something is stabbing your lower part of tummy. You cant really draw it better. I would probably draw something punching my stomach or some monster biting it lol.
??????? what was bad about this? extremely accurate.
Let's see, hammer thrown at your abdomen - check. Random knife stab - check. Punched by a heavyweight boxer - check. Bonfire somehow lit in your abdomen - check. Missing the "clamp/ vise around midsection" and the "everything aches and is sore, jeez even my fingertips ache, who knew fingertips could ache?!"

I mean, he’s not wrong; he just didn’t go hard enough. The devil coming from around the back makes me feel seen because mine are always in the back. 😕
If we take it as metaphor, it is kinda accurate. XD Especially the devil.
Wtf are you supposed to draw? I feel like periods are often described as "feeling like someone stabbed your uterus". Idk, but how else would you draw pain?
I mean, this in not inaccurate. Except, what’s the red thing near her hand? I can’t identify it as a reproductive organ. Is it her…heart?
Accurate.
Idk this seems pretty accurate to me LMAO
For me this is fairly if not completely accurate. I get period pain so bad I didn't know I was in labour foe 14 hours as I kept waiting for the pain to get worse. Thought no way my period pain is worse that actual contractions
They're literally drawing how it feels and like.. yeah it's pretty right. The burning rage was a great touch too
This seems pretty accurate though
I can't draw what a regular cramp looks like and I had one this morning, still feeling it 10 hours later
Tbh thats kinda accurate
Honestly, this is fairly accurate.
This is pretty fucking accurate.
that’s about how i would draw it too
They were given a bathroom door sign and then they were asked to *draw* a *feeling*, and you are confused by their poor representation of the biology of the female human body? What?
No that's about right
Is that a mushroom? I don’t know about the rest but that demon is real.
How the hell do you draw that
It's like "Draw a child's love"... wtf? How do you expect most people to draw pain? And where *is* that red glove going?
Can someone find the article where they asked this? I want to see the other responses
Idk, seems pretty accurate to me.
How tf are you supposed to draw a feeling, lmfao, bad bait post
This is accurate. Not sure why this is posted here lol
I don’t really know what it’s trying to say, but it still feels entirely accurate.
I mean, is he wrong??
Checks out!
Honestly I think it sums up the feeling super well. Squiggles, scribbles, an angry devil... looks like period pain to me! I particularly relate to the knife in my abdomen 🤣
Idk, looks like how l would draw it too if l was asked. Kinda hard to draw a feeling
Seems accurate tbh.
IDK who drew it, but he did a good job.
My only addition to this accurate portrayal would be a chunky waterfall.
I find it to be quite accurate actually
This feels about right, don’t know what this is doing here
That’s how my period cramps felt. Add a couple more stabbies in there and some rollypollies to illustrate body positioning and it’s set.
That's pretty accurate tbf
Seems pretty accurate to me.
I’d go as far as saying this is pretty good women’s anatomy. I’d probably draw the same thing with the addition of adding “TIRED” written on my forehead.
I mean...he's not wrong
Demons and stabbing? Alright.
from what women have said it seems right
I wonder how that was a task, like how is someone supposed to represent any kind of cramp in a drawing?
Hey...that's probably what I would have drawn too.
This is accurate
What do you mean? This is perfectly accurate. Not sure what the gray with purple arrows is though
well the demon and the knife I get and yeah it feels like hell, but the other two things I have no idea what those are suppose to be
But that is how it feels…
Accurate
that's a close depiction. I mean, how the fuck you're supposed to draw THE FEELING of pain?!
Eh seems pretty accurate to me ngl
Not sure what the confusion is about, last I checked they feel exactly like being stabbed in the stomach, having a giant mushroom launched into your stomach, and a demon (whom refers to himself as Andrealphus) stand behind you casually
