Don't be embarassed- be proud. We've got something that men don't, and they can't take that away from us. If you bleed when you aren't ready for it and leave a stain, it's a sort of reminder to the world that hey, you're a woman, you've got power. That's the way I like to look at it, anyway.
"I go and find the only other woman on the floor is the secretary sitting at the desk by the door I ask her if she's got a tampon I could use she says oh honey, what a hassle for you sure I do you know I do I say it ain't no hassle, no, it ain't no mess right now it's the only power that I possess these businessmen got the money they got the instruments of death But I can make life I can make breath sitting in the boardroom the I'm-so-bored room listening to the suits talk about their world I didn't really have much to say the whole time I was there so I just left a big brown bloodstain on their white chair" - "Blood in the Boardroom" by ani Difranco

"I go and find the only other woman on the floor
is the secretary sitting at the desk by the door
I ask her if she's got a tampon I could use
she says
oh honey, what a hassle for you
sure I do
you know I do
I say
it ain't no hassle, no, it ain't no mess
right now it's the only power
that I possess
these businessmen got the money
they got the instruments of death
But I can make life
I can make breath
sitting in the boardroom
the I'm-so-bored room
listening to the suits talk about their world
I didn't really have much to say
the whole time I was there
so I just left a big brown bloodstain
on their white chair"

I never looked at it like that!
it is something that men could never had. It makes me feel like i have this power or this key. It's weird...
