I got so much interesting information from my last thread I thought I would try again!
I mean I know the answer is 'the patriarchy' but....
why do I feel so repelled by all things menstrual? I am pretty sure I'm not alone...but while I would have no issue whatsoever with someone seeing a blood stain on my arm (from a cut or something) I would actually die from shame if anyone saw my menstrual blood.
How do I stop my DD from being infected with the idea that menstruation is dirty?
How do I cure myself?
I have managed to cure myself of the idea that armpit hair is dirty...and leg hair...but this seems an order of magnitude harder!
