Holy Hormones Journal July 26, 2013 I was privileged and honored to attend the Society for Menstrual Cycle Research Conference in NYC. earlier this summer. The conference was held at Marymount Manhattan College - in downtown. It has been years since I had been back in the city - and I enjoyed it immensely.

Why Aren’t We Talking to Girls About Their Periods – Before they Menstruate?

Holy Hormones Journal - Why aren't we talking to girls about what to expect about getting their periods - before they start to menstruate?  We can no longer buy into the shaming of young girls about their bodies, and the fact they menstruate.  We can't ignore teaching them how their hormones affect their behaviors. All of this keeps women victimized and sexualized. Laura Wershler once again … [Read more...]

Women and Menstruation – Falling Down the Snake Hole

Women and Menstruation – Falling Down the Snake Hole

Leslie Carol Botha: This is the paragraph in Chris Bobel's article that I resonate with: Cycle stopping contraception, Liz Kissling has argued, enables a particularly new manifestation of the docile neoliberal subject. The feminine non-mensturating body, is not, as popularly believed, liberated, but rather, one held even tighter to the hegemonic male standard. Place this compliant amenorrheaic … [Read more...]

Birth Control Pills – Symbol of Liberation and Freedom or Pathway to Insanity?

Birth Control Pills – Symbol of Liberation and Freedom or Pathway to Insanity?

Leslie Carol Botha: Another great commentary by SMCR member Kati Bicknell. Women really need to reconsider the benefits vs. the risk of synthetic birth control. Me thinks we have been duped way too long. Especially since synthetic hormone contraceptives do not protect against STD's. Condoms and spermicide are looking better and better all the time.  Your turn guys... if you want to have sex with … [Read more...]
