LET’S BEGIN WITH THE OBVIOUS: EVERY WOMAN IN THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY HAS OR HAD A PERIOD. EACH MONTH, HER UTERUS SHEDS ITS LINING, SENDING BLOOD FLOWING OUT THROUGH HER VAGINA (UNLESS SHE’S PREGNANT, IN WHICH CASE SHE GETS A LENGTHY REPRIEVE).
This process is as natural as eating, drinking and sleeping, and it’s beautiful too: There’s no human race without it. Yet most of us loathe talking about it.
