Male Periods

I knew that at some point being the only guy in a tutorial of 10-15 people would one day put me in some awkward situations. Today was that day. We had made our way to a discussion about a environmentalist witchcraft group that have some interesting ways to save the environment, one of them being the use of something called the "Mooncup," which you can learn all about here. This developed into a ten minute discussion about the menstrual cycle, jokes about the new "beaver" tampon ad on television, etc.

Anyway, it was clear that, to a certain extent, they were still somewhat embarrassed about the topic and not going to go into any real detail. But imagine if guys had periods. Imagine the difference in etiquette there would be when it came to talking about periods. It wouldn't be all hush hush, it'd be another male competition for who has the biggest. I can picture it: "Man that last period was HUGE, I can't believe how much I bleed!" or "Damn dude, gotta go home and have a massive period!" Think how normal those statements would be if it had been men having periods since the beginning of human kind.
