MENSTRUATION (AND ITS ABSENCE)
Unfortunately most of us have grown up with a demonized idea of the rule, and not only because it is blood: the rule hurts, it is dirty, it is a nuisance, and marks the beginning of a journey to no one knows where. Many would prefer bats to pink butterflies that wrap advertisements for pads and tampons. Building a new imaginary based on menstruation as a vital sign is essential to break with this idea of monthly ghost that comes to see the girls!
Later, when everything is normalized, what we fear is precisely its absence. Delays can produce cold sweats every time we go to the bathroom and we do not see … blood! Stress and hormonal imbalances are always always behind, that’s the monsters of modern life!
