martini you can throw any argument you like at this, its still not going to be any less disgusting than it is.

 

There are elite and amateur sportswomen faced with this issue every single day and they manage to go about their business still.

She did it for attention, no other reason.

It's only "disgusting" because she spoke openly about it. Or are you suggesting womens periods are "disgusting"? Bringing up hygene, fungal infections are excuses to hide our own embarrassment I think. I hope that changes soon for my daughters sake.

Here is an article about eleite sportswomen on the subject: http://www.mamamia.com.au/lifestyle/menstrual-cycle-in-sport/

Made world wide news when she talkjed about getting her periods. All the articles have words like "shock", "taboo", "mortifying", "nightmare". Seriously you would think that something major was happening.

Interesting comments from fellow tennis players who were "shocked" that another player would mention the word "period". How ridiculous is it. Mind you she only called it "girl things".
