Plot twist: Menstruation is not stigmatized any more than other natural bodily functions. I would not have sex with someone who was currently pooping, either. But I wouldn't burn them at the stake for pooping, either.

The PSA of women fingerpainting with menstrual blood didn't accomplish this?

"For example, if you search for “menstruation” in PubMed between 2001 and 2018, you only get some 8,400 studies on the subject. Conversely, a search during that same time period for cardiovascular disease turns up 1.3 million results. If you want to get into gender-specific conditions, prostate cancer gets 121,000 results and erectile dysfunction gets about 16,000 results." Cardiovascular disease kills people, prostate cancer kills people, and erectile dysfunction make it more difficult for both men AND women to have children. Period symptoms definitely aren't fun (as my wife can attest to), but do these people think the menstrual cycle is a disease or something? It is not on par with the importance of studying the other topics listed.
