| I understand that some guys don't feel comfortable (ew gross!) talking about
| menstruation, but that's our problem.  We don't know nearly enough about women's
| issues.  There's nothing unusual, unnatural, unhealthy, weird or gross about
| menstruation.  We don't have a similar bodily function to compare it to, but that
| shouldn't be an issue.
| Even if guys on this list don't hike with the women in their lives, these are still
| important things for us to know about.  I have two daughters, one is eight and
already
| getting acne and body odor.  It won't be too much longer for her before she reaches
| menarche and I'm the one who's at home all day.  I will have to deal with teaching
her
| some (Susan will obviously be the major part of this, but I will, inevitably get to
| share) of what she will need to know.  If I approach those lessons with an "WE,
| Gross!" attitude, I will have created a woman who is ashamed of her own body.
There's
| no way in hell on earth that I'll do that to my girls.
|
| Those of you women who've been including us in your discussions, KEEP IT UP!

| | What ever happened to that women's issues list???
| |
| | personally, I'd rather hear about Curse words, WF, Guns, & Cell phones ...
| | than menstrual cups!
| |
| | How 'bout if us guys started talking about our bodily functions??   I'm sure
| | we could gross out a few ladies!
| |
| | some things just aren't meant for general conversation.
