Throughout history, periods have been hidden from the public. They’re taboo. They’re embarrassing. They’re gross. And due to a crumbling or nonexistent national sex ed program, they are misunderstood. Because of these stigmas, a status quo has been established to exclude people who menstruate from the seat at the decision-making table, creating discriminations like the tampon tax, medicines that favor male biology, and more. Period Power aims to explain what menstruation is, shed light on the stigmas and resulting biases, and create a strategy to end the silence and prompt conversation about periods.

A lumberjack sits outside his log cabin, full of grief and resentment, he weeps bitterly, he laments the loss of his recently wed beauty queen who walked out a few days ago and left him in the woods, the vivid memory of that day fills his heart with bitterness, he knows not what to say nor what to do, in his solitude he tries to figure out whom to blame, "could It be those nasty friends of hers that talked her out, or could she have been snatched off by his rivals?" He contemplates for a very long time, and comes up with thousands of meaningless explanations and ways to bring her back. At ...

The proof is in the Word of God, and in the proper contextual analysis of it.
