I saw a recent set of adverts talking about what would happen if men had periods. Now while that assumes that men would still play the same role in society it also assumes that with men dealing with this very natural process somehow the entire human race would suddenly be open to discussion on periods... He'll they'd even compare flow rates (side note, I'm not sure we really compare flow rates the way they've shown it but still..)
This led me to wonder, given the evolutionary process, wouldn't period have been something happening to women from primitive man onwards? Or at least from before civilisation started.. So given that it's been around since kingdom come.. Why is it so taboo to talk about it? Or to discuss it openly? Why do we still balk at such discussion?
