Prompt
Too many people who menstruate never fully learn about the processes their bodies go through while menstruating. The few lessons they recieve are loaded with stigma, shaming, and embarrassment. This lack of education and sober conversation perpetuates the repressive and fearful social perception of menstruation. The social implications of these mentalities create real-world problems for menstruators; physically, emotionally, and socially.
Solution
So let's talk about it.
