A group of YouTube pranksters, Trollstation, has released a video it claims to be a 'social experiment' of a woman experiencing a 'period explosion' in public.

 In the video, actress Amina Maz can be seen nearby Oxford Circus tube station in London with a large spattering of blood on the floor beneath her, as well as all over her legs, feet and shoes..

Which is all well and good, except no woman anywhere has ever had a period like this because that's not how periods work.

While the group says the video is a social experiment to see how people would react to a woman visibly getting her period in public, this looks more like a scene from Casualty and we can only see it compounding the stigma surrounding periods.

Given that roughly 50% of the world's population will never have a period, what sense is there in fuelling gory myths about something that - sorry guys - isn't that exciting?

In the video, the young woman initially complains of really bad stomach cramps before approaching female strangers asking if they have a tampon or a sanitary pad she could use. Having no luck, the woman doesn't take the advice of one of the strangers, who directs her to a Boots Pharmacy not too far away, but instead proceeds to stand cock-legged in the middle of the busiest shopping street in London, and endure a hugely unrealistic 'period explosion'.

Unsurprisingly, the crowds look on with absolute bafflement as enough blood to fill an entire human body spills out and is left staining the street in a little trail. I'm not going to lie, if women's periods were that powerful it'd take more than a mere tampon to stop the flow.

Surely all this is doing is dramatising the concept of periods when what really needs to happen is a basic education of why monthly bleeding isn't actually that gross, and that it certainly doesn't look like something that's come out of a horror film.

The comments on the video seem to reflect our thoughts on it, too. One man writes: "This video alone is degrading for women", while another adds: "I've never cringed this much in my life".

And another vaguely intelligent man says what we hope most of them were thinking: "I don't have a vagina. But I don't think women bleed that much."

Spot on. Shall we stop exacerbating the problem now and just be sensible about it if we want to carry out 'social experiments' about periods?
