"'This is a really great opportunity to talk about a function of women"s health that we don"t talk about enough,' said Hannah Brenner,"
Really? In my experience, there is no shortage of women willing to talk about there periods with no provocation whatsoever. For example, there is one particular female I know who when my dog approaches her, she always makes some kind of comment about how he can sense that it is her time of the month. Keep in mind, he is not crotch sniffing, but merely approaching. He approaches males the exact same way and they never comment about how he is sensing their jock itch or blue balls or whatever else ails them at the moment. The men's comments are usually along the lines of "what a sweet dog" "is he friendly?" "may I pet him?" etc...
I know of many females who are not as crotch-centered as the one I mentioned above but she is not the only one who so generously offers to discuss her visitor with anyone who has no immediate escape route.
"...that we don"t talk about enough.."
(...sigh....) If only that were true...

It also seems like there's a tampon or "pad" commecial on TV about every five minuets!
'never gets talked about?!?
The fact is, that there is NO mallady that women suffer, real or imagined, that DOESN'T get talked about. All I ever hear, particularly in the media is, 'Women's issues this and women's issues that.' All one has to do is watch the news and every single evening, without fail, they report on SOMETHING concerning women. If I hear one more report about breast cancer I'll
have a fit.
Hey, fembots, you wanna talk about things that never get talked about in the mainstream?
Well try talking about MEN'S issues.
Oh, that's right we men don't have issues, according to you all.
Excuse me I need to go take out my frustrations on my pillow, or something.

In the interest of demanding equal opportunity to look like complete idiots, I think the men at OK U should organize "Smegma Appreciation Month!"
On second thought, that's a pretty "cheesy" idea.

HAHAHA!!
My wife is one of those non-crotch centered individuals she finds the idea of a menstural appreciations month both laughable and embarrasing.

I want a "Wet Dream Awareness Day"

I'm tempted to start a section of the anti-feminist movement, the women against crotch-centeredness. Menstrual Awareness Week is moronic in the extreme. In case anyone on the planet wasn't aware of it... :P

It's on par with a "jock itch" appreciation month... I'd be embarrased too if I were a woman.
Just think of it, we could create focus groups to discuss that embarrasing itch we sometimes get.
"Uh coach... sometime I just feel kinda... FUNNY down there after a hard practice, itchy and burnin and such."
- "It happens to us all... and I'm a therapist not a coach"
"Yea.. mee too coach, I just get all itchy"
- "that's good... let it all out, tell us how you FEEL about that itch"
"Uh, Hi... my name is Jim, and I have a jj-jjock itch problem"
"HI JIM!"

How about a "Male Masturbation Awareness Month"?
We should encourage all men who feel looked down upon by society to step forward and say "I whack off, and I'm proud."
And some masturbation sensitivity training seminars might help women to be more accepting of men's bodies, so they stop going "Ew!"

Menstruation is a natural bodily function associated with a female's capacity to bear children. It seems to me a lot less taboo of a female health subject than women's rapidly declining fertility in their late 30s.
Male circumcision, which occurs at a 60% rate in the US for no good reason, is a topic that definitely requires increased awareness. Oops, I forget, we aren't allowed to care about male pain and the mutilation of male bodies.

This whole program is just an attempt to get the women together and exclude the guys. What other issue could so ensure an all female attendance. Once the girls are there they can discuss just about anything, free of male ears. It's a bloody conspiracy! (Pun intended.)

The existence of premenstrual tension, intramenstrual tension, postmenstrual tension were long used to restrict womens' opportunities. Thus women were too hormonally unstable to fly airliners and were physically incapable of doing a variety on traditional male empoyments.
Thus feminists have long campaigned that menstruation does not actually impair women mentally or physically and should not restrict women in any way. They have been successfull in their campaign and now women have full employment equality (actually they have "more equality" than men).
So what do the feminists do now? They have decided to "rediscover" menstruation. Why? Well the existence of menstruation has long been a basis for female privilege. Thus the woman who murders her husbsnd and/or children will walk free as she was hormonally challenged. Women are unfit for the draft as they have periods etc.
Thus a woman is rational enough to pilot a 747 and is irrational enough to walk free if she murders her children.
The same feminist strategy as usual. Liberate women from all traditional disadvantage whilst simultaneously retaining all traditional advantages, even though the latter are now entirely unjustified.

They have run out of valid gripes and so are re-hashing old ground. Can you imagine a "seminal discharge awareness week"? It makes me ROTFL.
What is really sad is that such things ar etaken seriously in some quarters. Truth continues to outstrip fiction.

Ain't it the truth.
...actually, they ran out of valid gripes nearly 30 years ago.

In fairness, I think they ran out of valid gripes about 20 years ago. In the past 15 years the thrust of feminism has been the maintenance and worsening of the inequalities faced by men.

The fundamental if pathological genius of feminism has always been its ability to conjure up ever-increasing categories of "victimhood" for women.
Every male concession in deference to feminist's plaintive wailing about "oppression" has yielded nothing except further psychotic proclamations of female victim status in our Evil Patriarchy.
They have successfully used victim power to deform the legal system, coerce federal and state funding, and criminalize maleness in the popular imagination while giving endless airplay to the woes of women.
"If she bleeds... it leads."
The Rag-a-Thon at OK. U. is symbolic of the way feminists have always operated to consolidate power through a clever facade of victimhood.
"Feminist consciousness is consciousness of victimization ... to come to see oneself as a victim." (Sandra Lee Bartky: Feminism and Domination - Studies in the Phenomenology of Oppression, 1990.)
