If you're a man who has thought about questioning his partner, female relatives or friends on the severity of period pains, then you might want to think again.
One guy to learn this the hard way was Mr Black of TikTok duo, Mr and Mrs Black.
In a video posted to the platform last month, Mr Black hailed periods as being 'overhyped' while speaking in front of his wife - and it's safe to day he got humbled pretty darn quickly.

"I'm here today to tell you why I think periods are overhyped," he begins the clip.
"First off, most women if they're in their 20s [or] 30s, they've had them for 10, 15, 20 years - so the pain can't be that bad."
In the background of the clip, his wife approaches him before cutting him off mid-sentence and insisting that he stops talking.
Mrs Black proceeds to suggest that she 'busts your balls once a month' to see if it eventually stops hurting because he's he's experienced the pain before.
"I will take my fist and make sure you bleed once a month because you have to bleed like a running faucet and then I'll double jab you in your stomach every five minutes," she further fumed in the video that's been viewed 25 million times.
"Stop running your mouth on something you can never relate to."
Mrs Black then threatens to buy a period pain simulator so her husband can feel what the pain is like for himself, and she stuck to her word after dozens of their followers called for it to happen.
In a follow-up video that was posted in the days that followed the initial viral video, Mr Black is seen squealing in pain as his wife turns up the simulator levels.
People were quickly to reply to the first video applauding Mrs Black for shutting him down.
"Someone give this woman her [crown], she dropped it," one person wrote.
Noting that the video was probably planned, another said: "Even tho these are scripted they’re funny."
"Dude, that kind of risk is not worth the views," a third laughed.
Others joked about how quickly he regretted his remarks.
"He regretted every word he said," wrote one viewer, as someone else said that he 'woke up and chose death'.
As Friends character Rachel Green once said: "No uterus, no opinion."
