The Crimson Wave: Breaking Society's Greatest Taboo
Imagine a biological process affecting half the world's population-3.5 billion women experiencing it monthly for forty years-yet so stigmatized we avoid discussing it openly. While we've been busy tiptoeing around the subject, menstruation has been medicalized, commercialized, and increasingly manipulated. Modern women experience approximately 500 periods in a lifetime compared to our great-grandmothers' 160, thanks to better nutrition, fewer pregnancies, and longer lifespans. Yet despite this biological reality, we still can't discuss bleeding in polite society. Why has such a fundamental aspect of human experience remained shrouded in shame? What happens when we finally break the silence surrounding the crimson wave that connects women across generations and cultures?
