Media-driven images to dread menstruation??!!? Pardon me, but WTF?
First of all, since when has the media been necessary for women to dread the bad moods, nasty pain, and bloody inconvenience of a cycle that affects a third of their existence?
Secondly, please point me to more than one of these purported media images. Perhaps I'm not as attuned to it as a women, but aside from tampon commercials - I've not witnessed any advertising, any movies, tv shows, music or fashion that in any way even addresses the menstrual cycle. Perhaps the taboo of the subject in our society is not the best thing ... but it hardly makes for lots of media-driven images.
