""Until now, menstruation has been something to hide and many people completely lack correct understanding of it," said Kazue Muta, a sociology professor at Osaka University." Is this true? (In Japan). It surprises me.

They double bag san pro in the shop so no one can see you are buying it.

Some people men are shockingly clueless about how women’s bodies work

Remember the bloke who thought we were lazy and needed to control our bladders, hold it in until we get to a toilet? How about those who believe we use 7 tampons a cycle and have 9 periods a year? This bloke thinks women have periods because we’re not supposed to eat meat (only salads, as we’re gatherers whilst men are hunters) and the bleeding is the meat toxins getting out.

And these are in Western society where supposedly we’re better at breaking period stigma/taboo etc.

And some people think men can menstruate!

Men cannot menstruate.
