So, [livejournal.com profile] sonnlich posted a link to this interesting article about the way menstruation is still a pretty taboo subject, even though a lot of guys probably wouldn't actually freak out if women brings it up. So, a poll.

Nb: when I say "mention" I just mean in vague, non-gross terms like "Crap! Out of tampons" or "Ow. Cramps", not going into icky detail. The same way one might talk about having gastro or a runny nose.

Well, I've always been a bit wierd about it, but I'm wierd about everything (hugging, for example) so I'm not sure it counts :)

And yes, there is a bit of a solidarity of femaleness about it, although in my experience at least such conversations are often (but not always) still a bit awkward and self conscious. I guess different people have experienced very different things.
