After a long day on Jan. 17, Anushka Dasgupta was on her way home when several men "ogled" her and several women told her to cover herself. She had no idea why until she noticed she'd gotten her period and bled all over her pants. People's reactions to her blood pissed her off and she explained why in a Facebook response that's now going viral.

"This post is for all the women who offered to help me hide my womanhood, I AM NOT ASHAMED," she wrote. "I bleed every 28-35 days, it is painful at times, I get moody at times, but … I AM NOT ASHAMED." She told BuzzFeed she was surprised about how much of the hate she's gotten since posting has come from women: "It's been disturbing and has really gotten me thinking about the kind of world we're creating for ourselves."

As for the men who creepily ogled her as she bled, Dasgupta wrote: "Check out the big red blotch on my pants all you want, check out my butt, check out the way I move, come touch me if you dare, and I will show you that I AM NOT ASHAMED."

"Do not whisper when you utter the word 'PERIODS,' do not subtly offer a woman a sanitary napkin, or a fresh change of clothes," she concluded on how to ensure no one who period-shamed her does the same to someone else. "ASK her if she needs one, TELL her she has stained her clothes, DO NOT HELP HER HIDE IT."

Amen.
