RE: Menstrual pain and its social impact / Women´s Health Awareness #2

in MED-HIVE2 years ago

Greetings @chaodietas , thank you for your publication in which in a rigorous and scientifically way you present a multidimensional contextualization of a physiological process such as menstruation.

  • Transit in the socioanthropological view of menstruation, implies and involves an intrinsic multifactoriality in the immersed process of this phenomenon, with various social, cultural and worldview connotations at the level of our globe.
  • At present, it is still a taboo subject in many countries: because of ignorance? because of stereotypes? because of transculturality? because of beliefs, values? The questions will continue, looking for the space of their answers, generating inputs day by day to contribute to the research, leading to emerging views in their meanings, which overcomes by far the visible or obscured inequality.

Thank you for contributing and generating quality contributions to these discursive spaces.
Happy and blessed week.

If we want to make progress in health we cannot see it in isolation from all the multidimensional factors that you rightly mention.

It is very true that nowadays talking about menstruation (and many other topics) is still "taboo", and I enclose this word in quotation marks because sometimes taboo can have other connotations such as "it is a topic that is not in", "it is a topic that avoids the objectification of women" (for those who favor it and live off it), "it is a topic that breaks with the standards of beauty and false glamour", "it is a politically incorrect topic". Actually, there are many meanings that can be valid for "taboo" in this case.

As more women appreciate ourselves as a whole, issues like this will be more in the public eye.

Thank you very much for your kind words, I appreciate them!

Thank you very much for this productive and enriching feek back. Appreciate it. Until another opportunity.
