The Curse of Narcissism, Part V | Clarissa's Blog
It’s strange that the Rhodesian society didn’t have much in the way of female pain alleviation for menstruation. Well, not so strange perhaps as it was exceedingly right wing. But I was given asprin for very extreme menstrual pain — knife in the stomach kind of pain, that makes you want to throw up and you go hot and cold and want to die. And tampons were only deemed appropriate for married women, as was the pill, which could have alleviated my cramping. I think a significant amount of the ptsd I developed later, and why I still do not like going to doctors even now, has to do with this experience.
