Boo! Taboo?

I don't feel well today. For a number of reasons actually, but one of these reasons will last me another four to  six days.  Technically, I'm already on day two so it'll be like, three to five days. If you haven't caught on by now, I'm on my period. Now I know there's some people out there already scrunching their face up. But that's a part of my issue, the world's issue in general. We live in a world, where it's okay to watch TV and listen to music that constantly  and BLATANTLY shows naked females and brags about disrespecting them. Ridiculously  boasting about making money and having lots of fantastic rich people sex, but aknowledging and discussing menstruation is going a step too far. How the hell does that make sense? Is it because one is less sexy than the other? Does it turn men off to think about the women that they want to bed,  bleeding for a week, once a month? You know what, its not only the men either. There are some very deluded and childish women out there who commend and condone men making menstruation a hushed topic. Those are the same type of woman who WHISPER when they ask for a pad or tampon in a public bathroom. I'm sorry but what are we whispering for, exactly? Are we committing a crime? Are we gossiping? Is menstruation NOT a part of everyday life? No?  I must have missed that memo. All I know is, I bleed. Sometimes heavily, sometimes lightly, sometimes when a month has 31 days, I'll bleed twice, just to make sure we have all the bases covered. On occasion, when I'm really stressed, I won't bleed at all. Eventually though, and naturally so, the blood will ALWAYS return. Is it fun? Hell no. Especially when you experience pain like mine. Aches, bloating, fatigue, nausea, (that very well can lead to vomiting) and cramps. Cramps that are out of this FUCKING world. It is nowhere near enjoyable, probably the last thing ever I will want to do, right up there with dying a very violent death and eating bodily waste. It sucks. But that doesn't make it any less a part of life. Menstruation is natural. Menstruation is NOT taboo. Menstruation is not stopping, hiding or going anywhere. Accept it, respect it, cope with it, deal with it. Seriously. It's not 'Silence of the Lambs' remix or something. We as women, had sex all month, and we didn't get pregnant. Yay, for some of us, better luck next month for others. Our uterus lining, also known as, the little nest where the baby was supposed to be, is SHEDDING. Congratulations Ladies and Gentlemen, women's bodies work the way they are supposed to. All together now, YAAAAAAAAY!!!!! Menstruation is as natural as moving your bowels. Everyone shits, right? A person would be quite odd and probably dead, if they didn't. Women are  soooo amazing and super spectacular  because we can do BOTH. Simultaneously!!!!! Chew on that.
