Jose Angel Garcia has gone viral for his #realmensupportwomen campaign that started with a picture on his Instagram account.
This is 15-year-old Jose Angel Garcia from Miami, Florida.
Garcia, who is in the 10th grade, told BuzzFeed News he had noticed a troubling trend. He said most of his male friends treat menstruation as if it's "repulsive," and a lot of his female friends get embarrassed or feel bad about having their period.
Garcia said he was bothered by that attitude. "I actually had started carrying tampons and pads in my bag because my girl friends often had to improvise with amusing (but not-so-sanitary) ways to stop themselves from leaking," he said.
So, one day he decided to call out the guys at his school on Instagram. He used the hashtag #realmensupportwomen on his post, and challenged other guys to follow his lead.
