A man made the mistake of comparing skinned knees from a football match to period pain in tweet that went viral after people called it out as nonsense.
Twitter user @SARGEE_ attracted the ire of thousands online after he tweeted a picture of a fallen footballer and next to it, a pair of bloody, scraped knees.
He wrote: “Until women experience this, I don’t wanna hear about period pains.”
People online descended on the tweet
