This explores an issue that needs more open discussion. I thought the quote of telling women "there is power in your blood" it's the gift of life is awesome. I remember as a boy going to my grandmother's with my sister. My mom said dont look in the paper bag my sister had. Of course I looked and saw sanitary pads. I never knew she had a period, would never had known if my mom hadn't said that. It's an issue we never talked about. This was 35 years ago.
