Poll: THE CURSE!!!

[sqbr]

So, 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.

I'm happy to discuss, be discussed with women. Not so much with Men. I don't want to get into a position where everytime I'm off sick that's what they think it is. (I've only ever had to stay home for that once.

But that being said I don't feel the need to discuss my gastro either.

I'm happy to say gah cramps to a girl cause they know - they understand, To a bloke they don't know - they don't understand. (Unless you get a guy who's partner getls it massively bad they will think you are a whinger.

But like I said, If you have gastro -no one needs to hear about that.

Mm, though in my experience it's a lot more acceptable to just say "I have gastro" than "I have my period".
