I get mad when I  imagine that if men had periods, they would build rules for themselves to make a big deal out of this.

A bleeding cut on your hand, a broken leg, or bleeding teeth problem is widely accepted because it happens to everyone. But menstruation is shameful because that part of our body is meant for men to get pleasure. Not to bleed or deliver babies. We very recently changed the fact that public breastfeeding is normal. You could hear years ago, “Not in the restaurant, I am eating here!!” from men, or a manager would ask you to go outside. Breasts are sexy and visible in small T-shirts-and thats ok to see them, BUt a newborn can’t eat in a restaurant because a woman is showing her breast in an unnatural scene !?!? What !!! Dogs can eat in restaurants! I like to see a famous woman – Rihanna, recently performing pregnant! Beyonce before! That’s a good sign.

All the rules of women’s physicality, the female body’s role, and her place in society are often emotionally painful. It is oppression, and silence can be harmful too. I am glad men have cancer because perhaps women would have fewer treatments, and not everything would be covered by insurance. Or cervical cancer would not be treated because pro-life organizations would consider this harmful for the future of possible pregnancy!
