There's been some nicely renewed talk about menstruation -- or more to the point, talk about talking about it -- on and around the 'net lately.
So, where are you at with this yourself? Are periods and menstruation something you feel able to talk about without shame, the same way you'd talk about other body functions, like say, salivating, breathing or digestion? Or not?
And in your life, if menstruation has a part in it (be it your own or someone else's), is it also something you feel like you can and do deal with like other body functions or like you can't, and it's something you feel ashamed of in some way?
(Btw, not making any assumptions here about, for instance, someone wanting some or all of menstruation to be private meaning they must be ashamed, or only wanting to talk about it with others with the same kinds of boundaries a person might want when talking about say, a general health problem or issue meaning someone must be ashamed. I'm figuring you're all smart enough to have a sense of when what you are feeling is shame or not!)
