Also let's not forget the stigma of this monthly replenishing of the womb's lining. Religions and societies around the world place huge amounts of guilt and outcast-status on all women during this most natural of events. ... in many areas of the world women are still actively fighting for basic dignity and rights with respect to the monthly re-lining of the womb. Some are disallowed from school, some are forced to socially isolate... Women's rights are human rights, that's the slogan we have used in this battle ... and yet now men try to opt in ... not to elevate women, not to secure the rights of all women who suffer stigma, but for their own selfish antics. Truly it beggars belief.

God when will the lunacy bubble burst!? Like you, I suffered similar extended periods as I aged. Most of my life my menstrual cycle greatly affected my quality of life - seems the norm for most of us. I forgot why do we have periods again? Oh that’s right so we as humans can reproduce - there’s that pesky biology again!
