Menstruation

her friend are not technically kin, the hypothesis that lower rates of male aggression exit when female alliances are strong prove true in her scenario (Small 1992). Carolyn had been taking birth control since high school as a way to manage her menstruation and, eventually, as a contraceptive. A year into dating Blaine, she found herself pregnant at 27 years old after taking antibiotics to help with her autoimmune deficiency that compromised the effects of the birth control.

Upon reading Egalia’s Daughters by Gerd Brantenberg, it became more evident to me just how much more women are sexually oppressed in present day society. Brantenberg created this hypothetical town of Egalia where wom (women) and menwom (men) switched the roles we currently see as gender norms today. Overall, I thought she did a great job putting things into perspective in terms of views on sexual oppression. Although this satire portrayed a switch in gender roles, it felt as if the roles of…

social stereotypes; this can be seen in the way that they describe female and male reproductive processes. Female reproductive processes are depicted as less worthy and useful than that of the male reproductive processes. Let’s take for instance menstruation, this is often described by scientific accounts as being a failure or a wasteful process because the egg has not been fertilized. On the other hand, when it comes to explaining sperm creation this is not seen as a process that is wasteful,…

Throughout the article the author provided elaborate examples of what it would be like if men had their periods. As I read there were things that I agreed with but i also disagreed with altogether. For instance, when it mentioned how menstruation would be viewed as the number one thing for men to boast about but in reality I believe they would become violent because men usually make things into a competition without hesitation. So this could result in either a very violent act or it could…

Uterine Fibroids Clinic Uterine Fibroids are non cancerous growths that can occur in the uterus. These growths are usually found in the muscle lining of the uterus.

globally, this remains their harsh reality for a staggering reason. From sub-Saharan Africa to India, Iran, and several other countries, the stigma surrounding menstruation and lack of access to proper sanitation directly inhibit young women from pursuing an education. Based on societal ignominy in the developing world, shame surrounding menstruation and its direct barrier to girls education remains a hushed conversation. As a result, both household dialogue and policy making discussions often…

enough to make career choices for the next step in their life. As a popular saying goes, “Education is the Key to Success”. According to the Ugandan Ministry of Education, “One in 10 schoolgirls miss classes or drop out completely due to their menstruation periods and substitute pads for less safe and absorbent materials such as rags” (Natukunda 1). Therefore, the government should also create a regulation requiring parents to get involved in their daughters’ education. In Uganda, the…
