Let’s Talk Menstruation

For those unaware Planned Parenthood has a fairly straightfoward explanation to the question “what is menstruation?” Simply put menstruation (a.k.a a period), is a natural usually monthly processes in which blood and tissues from a woman’s uterus comes out of her vagina. Prior to the European conquest of indigenous people, feminist historians and scholars like Fred E.H. Schroeder argue that while indigenous cultures marked menstruation with rituals, western societies on the other hand have simply ignored it covering the whole affair in silence.

Thus, in a 1978 satire published in Ms. magazine, feminist Gloria Steinem attributes the lack of normalcy surrounding a woman’s period to the fact that men are not the ones magically menstruating. Steinem’s essay states if men where the ones having periods, “menstruation would become an enviable, boast-worthy, masculine event.” As a result, Steinem envisioned a world in which menstruation would ultimately justify a men’s place anywhere. As well as, leading to the creation of products with dazzling names like “Paul Newman Tampons” and “Muhammad Ali’s Rope-a-Dope Pads.”

Unfortunately, forty years after the publication of Steinem’s essay it still holds the same relevance seeing as there has been close to no improvements made towards menstrual equality. For instance, while the 1970s was the first time in which a rise in Toxic Shock Syndrome was seen. The Washington Post has recently reported on five cases of menstrual-related toxic shock syndrome (TSS) in the state of Michigan nearly fifty years later. TSS is a complication that arises from an infection with certain types of bacteria in which the body has a dangerous response to the toxins they produce that could lead to death. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) describes TSS as showcasing symptoms such as high fever, a sunburn-like rash, low blood pressure, etc. Sadly, women who have their period are most likely to get TSS due to the chemicals used when making these menstrual products such as tampons and pads.

Not only are these products bad for their targeted audience, it is also harmful to the environment. Estimates show that the average woman will dispose of 11,000 sanitary products throughout years of menstruation. A report posted by the National Geographic found that in the year 2018 alone, people in the U.S. bought 5.8 billion tampons the majority of which end up in landfills as plastic waste. One pack of sanitary pads contains the same amount of plastic as 4 bags one tends to carry their groceries in. As a result, menstruation can be characterized as a problem for Ecofeminist.

Ecofeminism arose in the 70s and 80s combining feminist and environmental theories and activisms. Ecofeminist believe the only way to end the oppression felt by the natural world and women is to combine the two in order to examine the patriarchal power structures put in place. Within her essay Ecofeminism: Historic and International Evolution Hobgood-Oster, defines Ecofeminism as challenging structures rather than individuals. These structures consist of classism, racism, sexism, heterosexism, naturism, and speciesism. Ecofeminism also addresses oppressive systems and their manifestation of abusive powers by reinforcing assumptions of categorical hierarchies, such as heaven/earth, male/female, white/non-white, human/animal. Therefore they believe all forms of opposition must be dismantled otherwise humanity will remain divided.

Ecofeminist scholar Karen J. Warren describes eight connections between women and nature. Out of those eight I found the first connection to be the most interesting. The alleged connection of woman and nature through history truly interested me after reading the novel The Red Tent which is classified as a historical fiction. The novel is loosely  based on the Biblical story of Dinah, daughter of Jacob and Leah. While she is a minor character in the Bible, the author Anita Diamant broadens not only Dinah’s story but also the other female characters typically glanced over in the Bible. The book’s title refers to the tent in which women of Jacob’s tribe must take refuge while menstruating or giving birth. Within the tent the women are not only empowered but also find mutual support and encouragement from their mothers, sisters and aunts. They are able to practice old rituals no longer accepted by Jacob and his God. Rather the Women teach Dinah to worship their Goddess and give thanks for her menstruation seeing as it is a sign of her femininity and intern nature as her blood signifies fruitfulness and nourishment to Mother Earth.

  1. Hi Angela!
    I want to start by commenting on how you led into defining and discussing ecofeminism. As a woman, and one who experiences what you have mentioned, for whatever reason I never thought to make the connection you have made. It’s genius and really leads well into the topic of ecofeminism with the menstrual products being harmful to the environment and women experiencing this and risks with what we are given. Mentioning how and why menstruation is a problem for ecofeminist helped give me an idea of what ecofeminists stand for and what they want to work to fix. I found in reading your blog, I was almost mad at myself for using such products because they really are so bad for the environment and my eyes have been opened to this now. Onto your history of ecofeminism, I found that I followed your timeline well and it matched well with what the Hobgood Oster writings said. Before reading of ecofeminism, if I started with your history of ecofeminism, I might not fully understand because it is such a complex idea, but this is what makes your introduction so helpful. I like that you mentioned without change in oppression, we will remain divided and I agree. With lack of equality, lack of understanding, and those who just don’t care; it is hard to all come together as one and make a positive difference in the world. I think with ecofeminism, we might be able to make serious changes in the world, not only for women but also for the environment. Lastly, I wanted to say I liked that you went out of the box with choosing what connection made by Warren stood out to you the most. Not many would say the history behind ecofeminism, but your connection to text based on biblical story was super interesting. I was so happy to see you make the connection between this text, history, and what you started your blog talking about. I really enjoyed reading your blog!

  2. How do you think people should feel about mensuration cycles? The western world tends to put a form of secrecy or discretion on the whole process. Many men know little to nothing about the female reproduction system and often think of it as a gross process, despite it being very natural. But in the same hand many female are often also very discrete, embarrassed, and tend not to want to talk or acknowledge anything about it. I think that in order for this to become something that is looked at in a more of positive manner it is open to both parties. Males must be educated, open minded, and positive about menstruation, but much of the education and openness of this also falls on females, mothers, sisters, friends, family, etc. Females should not be ashamed or whatever else of their menstruation cycles, and having a more open dialogue and support of on another can raise the awareness across the board.

    Also when examining the environmental impacts of menstruation, do you have any suggestions of how menstruation can be looked at in more of a green light? I assume many females do not necessarily enjoy using these products, but they are used for a specific purpose. What are the ways we can either change female hygiene products or make them greener?

  3. Hi Angela!! Thanks for this awesome post; not only was it fun to read, but it was also really informational. I especially enjoyed reading your example of one of the ways feminism and environmental issues are connected. The impact sanitary products have on the environment is something I never would have thought of to be an ecofeminist issue, but you laid it out perfectly for your readers. You went above and beyond the prompt of a simple class assignment, you put your own twist on things and contributed to the ecofeminism conversation in a really meaningful way, I give you big props for that.
    Upon reading your explanation of how within our western culture, menstruation has always been swept under the rug and not discussed within our patriarchal system. I found myself wondering if, as you said, it was the men who had monthly periods, if the sanitary products would be overall eco-friendly. My own answer to this question is ‘yes’. I can also say with every bone in my body, with every ounce of confidence that I have, that if men needed sanitary products, they for sure would not be giving off toxic chemicals; that would have been eradicated a long time ago. I believe they also would have found a way to make affordable eco-friendly products, as they are healthier for our bodies and the environment, so it’s a win – win.
    All the points you brought up throughout your post reminded me of Karen Warren’s discussion of conceptual connections between feminism and environmental issues. As she says, “Many authors have argued that, ultimately, historical and causal links between the dominations of women and nature are located in conceptual structures of domination that construct women and nature in male-biased ways.” Just as you have shown in your post, females are the ones using sanitary products, the same products that potentially have harmful chemicals, and the same products that are contributing to our waste disposal issue. The crazy thing is, that between the two of us and our ideas on this topic, we’ve barely scratched the surface for I think there are things in our society that we don’t even know are male-biased. This class will hopefully open our eyes to a lot of things. I look forward to reading another post of yours.

  4. Hello, Angela!
    I loved your blog post! The history of menstruation education is honestly too sad to talk about, however, the conversations need to be had! In fact, as your post brings out, these discussions are PAST DUE. We cannot neglect the fact that periods occur in women and women only. To neglect this is to oppress menstruation equality, as you mentioned. Women and their needs have no room within the concept of patriarchy which is exactly why its sole existence needs to be eradicated. Our capitalist society is profiting from our natural body processes and not to mention designing hygiene products that are not even safe for us or the environment. This is a serious issue and I am so glad you brought it up. Continue the fight for equality.

  6. Utilizing advanced isotope-ratio mass spectrometry, smaller hint quantities of metabolites
    may be detected quicker than within the past46. The extra superior scientific evaluation methods now obtainable made this possible – and it sends an alarm out to anyone who thinks
    a negative outcome now means you’re in the clear endlessly.

    But with the recognition of on-line sales, few
    persons are selling steroids that way today. Trying for ways to make the method easier is sensible when you’re in this place.
    One of the options we now have includes backfilling insulin syringes for steroid injections.
    In brief, this technique makes it both less painful and
    more handy to administer your injections.
    It’s not meant for these seeking to boost their performance or physique.
    As advised by their name, anabolic-androgenic steroids bind to receptors within the cell referred to as androgen receptors.
    The complex fashioned by the receptor and steroid enters the
    nucleus, the place they work together with DNA to extend the exercise of sure genes –
    significantly ones which are concerned in male puberty and protein synthesis.

    These genes make the cells produce extra proteins than they normally would.
    In Accordance to the present evidence, the simplest treatment
    for AAS is the discontinuation of AAS use, therapy of withdrawal symptoms,
    a mixture of behavioral remedy, and symptomatic remedies.

    Therapy of AAS is predicated on the duration of use, the chance of withdrawal signs,
    remedy goals of the patient, and risk-benefit evaluation of the therapies.
    In some cases, corticosteroids may very well cause muscle loss when used long-term.

    This is a brutal cycle and can wreak havoc in your liver (two orals, go figure), and will
    destroy relationships. Halotestin may be very useful in a slicing setting to keep power at an all time excessive

    Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)—the bad—cholesterol ranges enhance, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)—the good—cholesterol ranges decrease.

    Extreme cardiovascular complications, together with
    hypertension,coronary heart assault, and blood clots, are reported with the utilization of anabolic steroids.

    Steroids are often utilized in patterns called “cycling.” This
    involves taking a number of doses of steroids over a specific time frame, stopping for a interval, and starting once more.
    AASs are prescribed by physicians to deal with quite a lot of
    medical conditions (Bagatell & Bremner, 1996). The most accepted use is for treating boys
    and men unable to provide normal ranges of their own testosterone, a condition often recognized as testosterone
    deficiency orhypogonadism. AASs are additionally mixed with
    female hormones to deal with distressing signs that can accompany menopause.
    Experimentally, AASs have been used to deal with a condition in which bone loss
    happens (osteoporosis), to deal with impotency and low sexual desire, and as a male contraception capsule.

    The steroids are quickly absorbed, and fast-acting steroids can start
    working as soon as you count on them to. Another type of syringe many steroid users also buy is the smaller 1ml insulin syringe.
    These syringes with needles hooked up are unsuitable for muscle injection but are used instead for subcutaneous injections.

    Advanced users who use peptides, HCG, insulin, and other non-steroid compounds
    commonly use insulin syringes. It’s important to get their suppressed testosterone back in regular working order.
    This is amongst the significant advantages girls have over males when using these
    substances. Every cycle is limited to 4-6 weeks and consists of only one steroid compound per cycle.

    And therefore, there is no level in gaining short-term progress at
    the worth of physical and psychological well being.
    Thus, a pure means could be higher and recommended for
    rising workout efficiency and power like correct exercising and
    following an excellent food regimen and diet schedule would enhance[12] sports activities performance.
    Moreover, early exposure to steroids in teenagers may also have an result on brain well

    Teens name them by slang names like juice or
    roids and procure them from a licensed practitioner on the ground of facilitating the body with testosterones for these who encounter late puberty and shortage of
    growth. Before joining Working For Well Being as a full-time male wellness journalist, he contributed to
    multiple online portals within the male wellness field.

    Today, a dose of 15–30 mg per day is commonplace for bodybuilders eager to experience important changes in muscular power and
    measurement. If a person is particularly vulnerable to androgenic
    unwanted facet effects, such as hair loss
    or acne, Deca Durabolin (nandrolone) may be an appropriate
    alternative to Dianabol, with Deca possessing a lower
    androgenic score of 37. SERMs are able to restoring testosterone levels post-steroids, with tamoxifen and clomiphene being the most effective options in our expertise.

    Dianabol users can also expertise low libido, decreased well-being, depression, lower ranges of vitality, and erectile
    dysfunction when testosterone levels plummet.
    As Quickly As the testosterone receptors are stimulated, a
    domino effect of metabolic reactions takes place because the drug instructs the body to extend muscle tissue production. Even though anabolic steroids don’t
    trigger a high, anabolic steroids may cause psychological
    dependence and addiction with customers can find themselves relying on anabolic steroids to construct confidence and vanity 39, 40, 22.
    This reliance could make it troublesome to stop utilizing them in the longer
    term. Furthermore, the fear of losing muscle measurement or
    definition can lead to inner pressure to continue use 32.
    I don’t learn about your grandma, however mine doesn’t want the sick pump from EQ,
    bro! She just would possibly need some more red blood cells, and probably can do without the side
    effects of EQ anyway. The major goal of Dietary Supplements whilst on cycle goes to be for
    the pursuit of health administration, and maybe amplifying the results of the cycle in and of itself.
    “I have bother gaining weight” – Right, you can most likely profit from “wetter” compounds, corresponding to Testosterone, Deca-Durabolin, and Dianabol.

    You have to be following a bulking food regimen that is excessive in lean protein and that
    gives your body with about 500 calories per day in excess of its maintenance
    stage.
    By preventing this lack of lean physique mass, the clinician can hope to stop lots of the opposed results caused
    by the disease and, perhaps, by different therapies
    that have been enacted. In all scientific cases, with the exception of most cancers, AASs
    have shown efficacy in weight acquire. In females, anabolic steroids cause masculinization or the irregular improvement of male sexual
    traits in a feminine. Particularly, breast dimension and body fat lower, the pores and skin turns into coarse, and the voice deepens ninety nine.
    Women could experience excessive progress of physique hair (hirsutism) but lose scalp hair
    a hundred. With continued administration of anabolic steroids, a few of these effects turn out to be irreversible.
    It is usually believed that anabolic steroids will produce irreversible enlargement of the
    clitoris in females, though there aren’t any research on this 101.

  7. Cypionate and enanthate injections could be less irritating
    to the pores and skin than other testosterone variations, primarily based on our experience.
    If you undergo from hypogonadism and require testosterone for medicinal functions, we
    advocate Olympus Men’s testosterone alternative therapy (TRT) program.

    Legal alternate options like D-Bal or Testo-Max can be found without prescriptions and don’t fall
    underneath managed substances. Meanwhile, some international locations permit more lenient entry underneath regulated
    conditions. In locations like Mexico, Thailand, and elements of Eastern Europe, steroids may be obtainable over the counter, however that doesn’t assure quality or safety.

    However, we recommend buying from a trustworthy model to guarantee you are getting real authorized steroid
    alternate options (instead of a spiked product). For finest results, we find that
    stacking Anvarol with other authorized cutting steroids enhances fat burning and
    muscle definition. Anavarol’s best stacking options, in our experience,
    are Clenbutrol, Winsol, and/or Testo-Max. The above unwanted
    facet effects, plus the fact that Sustanon 250 is an injectable steroid,
    may end up in some folks avoiding this anabolic steroid.
    Testo-Max solves all of those issues, so it’s comprehensible why this authorized steroid is extremely coveted.
    D-Bal was formulated by Loopy Bulk to replicate
    Dianabol’s optimistic results but without the opposed results.

    Nevertheless, as a outcome of its hepatotoxicity and excessive androgenic load, it’s reserved for superior
    users only. Its powerful anabolic effects make it best for each
    bulking and cutting—but additionally increase the risk
    of aggression, insomnia, and cardiovascular pressure.
    Best reserved for superior customers with cycle experience and sturdy post-cycle therapy (PCT) planning.
    These medicine might lower the damage that happens to muscular tissues during a tough workout.
    Some individuals additionally may like how their muscles look once they take these medication. Many individuals who
    inject anabolic steroids may use nonsterile
    injection techniques or share contaminated needles with other
    users.
    It is the efficiency enhancer that will actually discover understanding right here to be slightly more worthwhile as quality stacks and cycles will generally embody steroids of both anabolic and androgenic nature and activity.
    Some bodybuilders and athletes use anabolic steroids could take the steroids orally, inject them into muscular tissues, or apply them to the skin as a gel or
    cream. These doses may be 10 to one hundred times higher than doses prescribed
    by medical professionals to treat medical circumstances.

    All anabolic steroids are Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) schedule three medication 24, 25, 26.
    Utilizing anabolic steroids this way, and not using a prescription from a
    doctor, isn’t legal or protected.
    In the case of the latter, the dose of testosterone is significantly decrease and at simply enough to take
    care of a healthy level of this critical male androgen hormone throughout your cycle.

    Let’s dig deeper into why together with testosterone in every
    steroid cycle is crucial. Even though Equipoise is useful for bulking, it shines in terms
    of slicing cycles as a outcome of it promotes the retention of lean muscle tissue while on a
    calorie-deficient diet. Mesterolone, beneath the
    brand name Proviron, is a helpful slicing steroid for people who know how to take benefit of this unique compound.
    Whereas it may be used for mass positive aspects, this steroid is principally utilized in slicing cycles.
    Proviron is derived from dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and is
    used as an oral steroid.
    This substance was first listed within the IOC doping listing on 1 January 2003 as part of oxygen supply enhancement.
    This method was first listed within the IOC doping record on 1 January 2003 under oxygen transfer enhancement.
    Refers to the utilization of agents that enhance oxygen absorption into the blood.

    Customers who often administer poisonous anabolic steroids similar to Winstrol,
    with insufficient day off in between cycles, are at higher risk of testosterone deficiency or
    infertility. Trenbolone is understood to considerably
    scale back fat mass whereas facilitating muscle progress.
    Some bodybuilders additionally employ trenbolone as a chopping
    steroid to speed up fat loss while sustaining muscle
    on fewer calories. Anabolic steroids usually are abused by
    athletes for rising muscle mass and efficiency. Non-athletes and non-competitive body builders also abuse anabolic steroids for beauty reasons.

    A lot may go mistaken in any of the stages, and the consumer bears the largest brunt.
    As such, one must do an intensive background examine to determine whether the product they’re about to take is legit.
    The best method to get correct details about a certain steroid is thru the
    manufacturer. Equally, there are natural bodybuilders content with competing in low-profile competitions with
    minimal prize cash. We perceive that women and men who aspire to compete in bodybuilding professionally might have limited options, as genetics,
    coaching, and food plan can only build restricted amounts of muscle.
    Different natural supplements, similar to protein powders, creatine,
    and BCAAs, will not yield steroid-like results.

    HGH is not at present permitted for beauty use, and thus bodybuilders often purchase it through the black market.

    Nevertheless, bodybuilders utilizing supraphysiological
    doses of testosterone or different anabolic steroids aren’t
    suggested to take them continuously due to prolonged toxicity.
    Research indicates that testosterone can also negatively affect high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and
    low-density lipoprotein (LDL) ldl cholesterol ratios,
    doubtlessly causing hypertension (high blood pressure) (2).
    Nonetheless, studies recommend that such elevations in blood pressure usually are not as
    severe from testosterone compared to stronger anabolic steroids.

  8. To handle androgenic results brought on by Trenbolone use, people ought to seek medical advice.
    Healthcare providers can present recommendations for managing these unwanted side effects and should recommend modifications
    to the dosage or frequency of Trenbolone use. In some circumstances,
    healthcare providers may recommend various therapies
    for managing androgenic results. Acne is a pores and skin situation that
    occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil
    and useless pores and skin cells. Trenbolone can improve oil manufacturing within the pores and skin, resulting in the
    event of pimples.
    He reveals the crippling anxiousness and intrusive ideas he encountered, stating, “Each day that I Am on high doses, I get up in the morning afraid of the relaxation of my day. Intrusive ideas. I take into consideration violence all the time.” In skilled sport, most organisations ban anabolic steroid use and take a look at competitors for banned
    steroids. If you do take a look at positive, you may be banned
    from competing professionally. Have you ever wrestled with the decision to use
    steroids, or have you discovered a pure path that works for you?

    We’re all on this collectively, and the most effective positive aspects are those you keep
    for all times.
    The HAARLEM study did discover a small but important enhance
    in PSA ranges on the finish of an AAS cycle compared with baseline
    (from 0.seventy one μg/L to 0.93 μg/L) (39). Two percent of the topics
    exceeded the higher restrict of the reference range (2.0 μg/L).

    These results are seemingly at odds with the literature that
    exhibits unchanged PSA levels in response to supraphysiological dosages of testosterone enanthate.
    Additionally, some research means that train might lead to a minor improve in PSA ranges (89), although
    resistance exercise in particular has not been researched.
    To prevent anabolic drug abuse, the function of nurses and pharmacists is crucial.

    In the HAARLEM examine, LDL-cholesterol elevated by zero.forty five mmol/L in contrast
    with baseline (46). Supraphysiological dosages of testosterone, no less than up to 600 mg testosterone enanthate, did not affect serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ranges in both wholesome younger (15, 22) and older men (37).

    Prostate quantity, as assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), remained unchanged in response to graded dosages as much as 600 mg testosterone enanthate weekly for 20 weeks in wholesome men (22).

    Some side effects may decrease with discontinued use,
    whereas others might not even show up for several years.
    Each type of prescription anabolic steroid and every brand has completely different potential side effects.

    It’s essential to talk to your healthcare supplier or
    a pharmacist about potential unwanted aspect effects of the precise medication you’re taking or pondering of taking.
    For athletes, rising muscle mass can also promote strength, which may enhance strength-based
    sports efficiency. Anabolic steroids (artificial androgens) work by activating androgen receptors in your body and mimicking the effects of natural androgens.
    Healthcare suppliers present corticosteroids rather more often than anabolic steroids.

    Androgens are bi-phasic in that they stimulate endochondral bone formation and induce development
    plate closure at the end of puberty. The actions of androgens
    on the expansion plate are mediated to a large
    extent by aromatization to estrogens (Vanderschueren et al., 2004; Hoffman, 2002).
    Anabolic steroid use leads to important elevations
    in estrogens thought to impression premature closure of the growth plate.

    The acceleration of progress in adolescents handled with testosterone has raised concern for the untimely closure of the epiphyseal plate (NIDA, 1996; Sturmi and Diorio, 1998).

    Biochemists rapidly noted that additions or subtractions to
    the testosterone molecule at particular areas would have a somewhat
    predictable impact on the inherent qualities of mentioned compound.
    Specifically, qualities including (but not restricted to) anabolic/androgenic ratio, metabolism, receptor affinity,
    and oral efficacy had been noted. AASs are drugs derived from the modification of the testosterone molecule to have the ability to increase or limit certain traits of testosterone.
    TRT is usually secure for men with low testosterone levels
    when administered by a medical professional.
    Steroid use is harmful for several reasons, together with the
    excessive risk of an infection, their illegal standing in most locations, and potential for psychological habit.
    Frequent blood work is important to observe potential adverse
    health results. Whereas AAS use is not the only technique to protect muscle mass, it
    might profit these populations.
    Additionally, Primobolan is thought for its comparatively delicate nature and decrease androgenic activity compared to different steroids, making
    it a most popular selection for each women and men. Anabolic steroids are artificial variations
    of best testosterone supplement brands for athletes, a male intercourse hormone that promotes muscle growth and secondary
    sexual characteristics. They are generally prescribed to deal with conditions similar to
    delayed puberty and muscle loss as a end result of illnesses
    like cancer and AIDS. However, their misuse for efficiency
    enhancement can have serious health penalties.
    Future analysis would possibly assist reply this query by comparison with extra accurate (though much less convenient) GFR filtration markers similar to iohexol or iothalamate.

    It seems applicable to manage dyslipidemia in (long-term) AAS users according to
    current tips (151) just as in any other patient.

    Risk estimation using algorithms such as SCORE2 may underestimate danger as a outcome of certain side effects of AAS use, such because the detrimental adjustments to cardiac construction and performance
    they elicit, may act as threat modifiers. Echocardiographic proof of such changes might due to this fact help in ‘grey zone’ threat estimation conditions.
