Menstruation is not something to be ashamed of from "summary" of Period Power by Maisie Hill

Menstruation is not something to be ashamed of. It is a natural, normal, and healthy part of being a woman. Yet, for centuries, society has taught us to hide it, to be discreet about it, to pretend it doesn't exist. This mindset has led to a culture of shame and secrecy surrounding periods, making women feel embarrassed and uncomfortable about something that is entirely normal and necessary for the reproductive system. We have been conditioned to believe that menstruation is dirty, unclean, and something to be hidden away. This attitude has contributed to the stigma and taboo that still surrounds periods today. It's time to change this narrative, to challenge these outdated beliefs, and to embrace menstruation as a natural and beautiful part of being a woman. We need to shift our mindset and start viewing menstruation as a powerful and sacred process. It is a sign of fertility, of life-giving potential, of the body's incredible ability to create and nurture. Instead of feeling ashamed or embarrassed about our periods, we should celebrate them as a symbol of our strength, resilience, and femininity. By normalizing menstruation and talking about it openly and honestly, we can break down the barriers of shame and silence that have kept women feeling isolated and misunderstood for so long. We can empower ourselves and others to embrace their periods as a normal and essential part of their lives, rather than something to be hidden away and whispered about in secret. It's time to reclaim our periods, to take ownership of our bodies and our experiences, and to reject the notion that menstruation is something to be ashamed of. Let's start a new conversation, one that celebrates and honors the power and beauty of menstruation, and reminds women everywhere that there is nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to their periods.
