pecuniumI have seen, as I travel to and fro in the net I keep seeing something I don't understand.
Women telling men they really don't want to look behind the curtain at TMI posts about menstruation.
Now, I understand warning people about TMI posts. Descriptions of the details of surgeries, accidents and all manner of gruesome goings on are not for everyone.
What I don't understand is why that single topic gets that warning.
Are men, as a class, that easily squicked?

One can say - I mean, I run my life in general on the principal of avoiding people who'll behave like that, so as to spend less time taking them into account, but in the event it's just surprising who feels entitled NEVER to hear about feminine hygiene.
