Therefore, I learned to conceal and lie about it so that I would be able to participate in normal, everyday temple functions and not have a bunch of regressive women and men on my case about this or that. In fact, while I was in India I learned to lie about alot of things just to keep the people of my back, for God's sake!

Maybe understanding the biology will not make a difference to the sniggers but then again maybe it would. Understanding something is generally the first step to accepting and acknowledging it. @Dilnavaz You’re welcome and I wish that a little more science and a little less religon was taught in this country.

My mom used to send me out to buy tampons as a kid and I didn't quite understand all the sniggers then. When I learnt a little more biology I thought it was even more absurd (the sniggering that is).

It appears to come from an unquestioning place, in conjunction with deeply ingrained social beliefs. And the euphemisms too arise from the same culture of silence. Have you heard 'Aunt Flo' is in town'? :) That one amuses me no end. And I kid you not, when I was in school, a girl actually said this to me: "The President is in the parliament." Don't kill yourself.... please! @Amrita: Yes, it is frustrating to see the self-shame women subject themselves to.

I get stuck on people's nicks but I am capable of making a change) as interesting as your post was, it was just interesting to see the reactions to it. :) While I certainly don't have a problem with other people feeling ashamed about their body (well, I do but I know it's a lost cause) I do care when these same people try and involve me in their culture of shame. I don't feel the least tentative about my period and I'm damned if I'll let someone else MAKE me. Which is why it annoys the hell out of me when my friends use euphemisms - I'm a girl, I have periods, I don't need you to make up silly names for it. The first time some girl asked me if I had my "chums" I was like - er...? Then I understood what she meant and ever since I've felt really violent when I hear that term. It pushes my button so bad! argh. OJ – (should I call you dilnavaz?
