Menstruation! The Taboo which shouldn’t be One!
If you are a woman younger than 12 or a man who avoids the word ‘feminism’, you can relate the word “menstruation’ to the TV advertisement with a lady in white pants and a small diaper drenched with a blue liquid from a test tube. Haven’t we all tried to decipher the advertisement at least once in our lifetime? Then we grew up; some men learned and some are still oblivious. Women learned it the hard way. Our life changed and while our parents were happy, we couldn’t understand why?
Sorry Mumma
Dear Mumma,
I am sorry, I failed you. Believe me, I tried. I tried everything that you and papa said, everything that he and his family said. But it was not enough. It was never enough.
