Ok,Im not sure how i wish to express this first,Or to say what should be spoken on first.There are many aspects of importance to this issue.
I feel this will become a confronting move on many playing fields,But i see the importance of such on grand levels.
First and foremost is enlightenment of all people towards they're spiritual growth.
Second is in educating those of us that have fallen within the suppression of the powers that have manipulated spiritual movements into natures of chaos for just that reason,Chaos..
For it is not so easy to manipulate those that may see with clarity.
First i will express some traditional perspectives on the issue.
___________________
In ancient times,The women of tribes were respected on higher levels than many realize.
The nature of Women's intuition and receptive abilities were recognized for the fruition of such.
Now a topic that has been suppressed for the same reasons,Churches,and aspects of conformative religious structures.
Formulating the perspective of the Deity into Masculine alone.And many things we could go on about here,But the focus is not going to be wasted on such...
Aspects of Menstruation:
In the days of old,The girls and women of tribes were in the practice of confinement within huts threw the period of menstruation.
Only the Elder Women of the tribe were to speak with them,And tend to them during such times.
And the time spent inside of the huts was in meditation,For while in the time of Menstruation,The receptive natures of they're Spiritual energies was,"And still is!" Very extraordinary.
They would express they're visions to the Elder Women,Post Menap. Exam.
And in turn the Elder women would share the aspects of they're divination's.
"Aspects of weather,Conflict,Many things"...
The reason this continued,Was because it bared fruition.
____________________
Now the consideration of where we stand today on these issues,It almost appears to me that this point of heightened receptiveness in spiritual perspectives has been UN-recognized largely even within women.
But there are many that know of such.
I feel there is MUCH to be gained from our consideration on what this practice could hold in store for our people,And the direction ahead of us with this Issue being brought to light.
And i do see that the way this will gain the most attention is within a political platform.
But the resolve is the greatest good for all,
If we would learn the value of communication,And patience with what we are confronted with,We can comprehend compassion,But more than this,The spiritual growth of all people can come from this direction.
So my Preparations for the legal moves are just now going into plan,And prep.
But what needs to be understood,Is that this is a personal spiritual time in women,And the lack of this communication between couples,And the effects of such not being in consideration today in society are a suppression of all people.
I feel that they're needs to be a relief action within the workplace first and foremost on this issue.
Its the same as if you were being asked if they're were any days that someone needed off,And in all actuality,Church on Sun,Has often been a accepted practice.
But do women get to have a few days off during menstruation? No...
And how many people have lost there jobs threw the years because of such?
Fatigue,Pain,Frustrations etc...
This is why women can become so emotional during this time.They're abilities of receptive,And strong connections to energies around them is greatly enhanced...
Let alone the cost of medication,Etc...
I feel that there should be a excused leave of work on such days for women.
But there is more to this action.
There are long term effects of such that will build bridges between couples were there have been distances before.
Men need to be in a conscience knowing of what is going on,This will allow people to communicate,Many seek spiritual connections with they're partners,But we have grown used to dealing with things in a way that prevents such.
This knowledge and consideration will be a growing vessel for all.
There will be more details im sure pertaining to my endeavours on said direction.lol....
I will be seeking representation on spreading the word as well.
Blessings all,Love and Light...

Thanks for understanding that I meant my response in a rational and respectful tone :)
I don't think I made myself quite clear. I *can* talk to my significant other about this, but there isn't much to talk about. It's a rather personal subject-- its importance is different for me than for him, since he's not a particularly spiritual person. He's sympathetic toward how I feel and what I experience during my time of month, but we just don't talk about it much because its significance is stronger for me than for him. I see no reason to *make* him understand, because said topic really doesn't influence our relationship.
There are things that happen to me or to him that only pertain to one or the other-- we don't have to share everything. We can, but we both feel that it isn't necessary to tell each other every little detail of every experience we've ever had. We aren't at odds at all, we embrace and understand each other-- but it isn't necessary to share literally everything to embrace and understand each other.
I can understand your point about suppression of women as well as suppression of an aspect of whatever deity it is you choose. However, I'm a little worried about your historical references.
How do you know that women sat about in huts during their time of month, having visions? How did you find out how women were treated during this time? And please, please, please don't tell me that Wicca has been around for 2000 years... because it hasn't.
I see your point and where you're coming from-- but if you want to base a political/social movement on this, you need reliable sources to reference and accurately reported history.
Whether I agree with you or not, this is an interesting topic.

>>>I don't like talking about my time of month, neither does my guy like to hear about it. It doesn't pertain to him, so why would I talk to him about it?
--->That is indeed an enlightened approach. May we all learn from your example of intimacy and communication.

Was that meant sarcastically?
My time of month holds meaning for me-- and it is deeply personal. While I can share it with him, its significance is not the same for him. If I experience a vision during said time, I'll tell him about it. But explaining to him all the nitty-gritty details about bleeding out of a rather sensitive place is unwarranted.

I don't know how other cultures currently percieve menstruation. As for the U.S... if you're suggesting women 'hut up' for even one day a month-um, yeah, right. It sounds like a major step backwards in the evolution of equal rights and that is ONLY because it is still a patriarchal society here. If it were that women were glorified in an intellectual and especially spiritual way, then your endeavers might hold more weight and more women would consider lending their minds and bodies to such things. But that is not how it is. Just by reading the responses already, you can tell that people don't talk about the menses. It's a gross bodily function to many. I disagree myself but as a whole-no one wishes to discuss it.
You're brave to bring it up and I encourage you to be involved with the women in your own life but in on a grand social scale-there's no way!

Lol,You might be right...
But its not really in confrontation,Or ego that i wish to address people.
Its more to do with how its been twisted into something to be perceived as dirty or bad.
It just makes me feel that such a thing to go from one extreme to the other,There must have been reason for the extra effort.
In the end i feel its suppression of the Feminine aspect of the Deity again.
But also,I feel that if men in general even had more of a clue that this holds spiritual bearing withen Women,Many might be more in consideration of communicating on a spiritual level.
But yes,I realize that would take alot of consideration,Maybe more than it will ever gain.
I believe my attempt here is for consideration,And a conscience of the suppression that has been implored in this way,And why?.....

While I thank you for your obvious kind intentions, I don't believe outing every woman when she has her period is kind. Periods are embarrassing - yes I said it WOOT! And it's not the masculine world has slammed me into submission, and such and such. It's the fact that I'm bleeding uncontrollably out of an orifice. I'm embarrassed when I have a nose bleed or a bite my tongue.
Second, yes I have pain, sickness, and other such nasty events during my period [apparently I'm a little abnormal when it comes to the degree of sickness], I wouldn't want it to be so overblown that I can't do -any-thing. I've actually had pain where I couldn't do anything, but that was ME making a judgment call. Not a blanket policy.
So I think you should let the women decide what's going on. ;P Ok? It's their bodies and... well we are stuck to 'em.

"I don't believe outing every woman when she has her period is kind."
I dont either,That was more of a eliminating distractions type of thing,Influences etc.
And maybe you dont feel that the Masculine world has suppressed you,Ty...
But honestly,Lets look at where the concept of the Deity has been manipulated.
As i stated in this feed in the later pages,How many people are sitting in Churches today praying to a Masculine Deity.
That is the saddest part to me,Conformity in Spiritual formats that have eliminated many of us from being open to considerations such as these.
As if we would or will be scrutinized by expressing other than that which is formatted today.
Father,Son,Holy Ghost...
There is yet another trinity that has been hushed...
Ty,Blessings

I must be the only woman here who actually wants her periods. I view my cycles as a natural process, and that my body is functioning normaly. I do not and never have cursed that what is a part of nature. I have not taught my daughter to view it as a "curse, an inconvience, the bitch is back." How degrading can a woman be to that which is her? I'll never understand. This is what society has taught women and women blindly pass it down to their daughters.

That's always been my view also. But I'll admit my view might be the way it is because I've never had much problems with feeling terribly ill during my periods the way some women do. Some months are worse for me than others, but many months I feel fine physically. And even with my difficult months when the cramps are worse and I feel sick, I haven't had it as bad as some I hear about.
I do have trouble with PMS -- and again, this varies for me, with some months being bad and some months not noticing much at all. When I'm having bad PMS, I'm very very glad when my period finally arrives! Because then my PMS symptoms subside, which is good.
Also, I'm finding my view about my periods seems to be shifting a bit now that I'm in perimenopause. In the past few months I'm starting to notice a difference -- some months are not regular -- and it's a reminder of how my body is changing and how my periods will be ending. I'm a little uneasy about going through this change because I've heard some stories about how bad it can be. So, right now, I'm actually grateful when my period arrives on time and my body does what it's done for so long. And maybe this sounds strange, but sometimes when I think of my periods ending for good, I feel a tiny bit sad. However, I'm trying to be open and unafraid about perimenopause and menopause. Another part of life's cycle...
I would not want to be in a hut with other women during my period. And the only special treatment I'd want is if I'm feeling really sick and in pain -- and then I'd want the kind of treatment I'd get for any other time I'm ill, no matter what the cause.
When I was growing up, my grandmother had certain thoughts about women's periods -- she didn't think I should exercise during that time, for example, or do any yard work. But I just never bought into that. If I felt okay, I wanted to do whatever I'd be doing anyway.
