Thread Name: Period Songs
Subject: RE: Period Songs
You know, for the amount of significance this has in every woman's life, it is amazing that we don't have more songs about periods. It is a sign, I guess, of just how taboo the subject is. I wonder how many cultures have songs about it that women sing? Amazing for such an important part of the reproductive process that we keep it so taboo. Hey, here is a sexist thought... if men had to bleed copious amounts from you-know-where about every 28 days in order for the human race to continue, would we have folk songs about it?
