On the Rag 

Don't you think it is weird that we have so many different ways to say period without saying period? We have a lot of complex emotions around the subject. So many that we now have a blood drop emoji and menstrual equity advocates are thrilled about its potential to aid in conversation. Especially educational ones with youth. 

The history of why menstruation is so taboo is complex and ancient. I mean people who menstruate are portals between the living and the dead. It is a superpower, but we are socially conditioned to keep it a secret. It is hard not to be shocked when we see an athlete openly flowing as they run. Menstrual products have come a long way but the truth is millions of people don't have adequate access and miss school or work opportunities because of it. 

Finally, if you are interested in the concept of misogyny being the law enforcement branch of the patriarchy, check out this interview with the author of Down Girl.
