And speaking of the expectation that women suffer quietly through the menstruation cycles…
How many of you are still being told they cannot enter the kitchen during “those times of the month”?
Are these “The Days Who Must not be Named”? Is menstruation so evil that even mentioning it might cause unholiness to happen?
Some of us can laugh at such attitudes, but many others are not so fortunate. Menstrual shaming and taboos cause many young women to miss school days and fall behind. It serves as women’s first marker on the road to making them a second-class citizens, and we have made it our corporate mission to banish these taboos.
