Re:

I believe that we are fooled, in every way possible; over such a length of time, in health matter as well as female matters; so we dont easily connect to our true powers;

" Women seeking power in a male world have tended to do so by becoming pseudo-men. And perhaps unwittingly, feminism has played a part in the suppression of menstruation. One of the biggest fears that I have come across in successful and aspiring women when I discuss ancient ideas about the spiritual power of menstruation, is that this will in some way affect their myth of being “just as good as a man, and sometimes better”. Many women don’t want to go deeper into menstruation, they are scared of what they will discover. It suits them better to suppress their feelings with tranquilizers, to spray with vaginal deodorants to disguise the smell of blood, to numb their pain through painkillers, to absorb their blood with tampons so they never have to actually see it. It’s easier to be a successful woman in a man’s world if you hardly recognize that you menstruate at all."
