I think that, in England at least, there's still that mentality of the "purity" of the body being dirtied by menstrual blood, sexual discharge etc, and of not allowing this so-called "shame" to be made public. Which is a tad ridiculous, as all women menstruate and all men (well, at least those who aren'tr impotent...) ejaculate.
Talking of which, has anyone made a record based on menstrual cycle patterns etc? I know Coil did an interview once, where they talked about doing a record based on female energies....it would also be the sort of thing that Jorge Vallis/Vagina Dentata Organ or the Hafler Trio might have explored...
