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?

A lot of military men, at least the ones I've worked with, seem to be really squicked by it.
