This week I’m talking to Dr. Elizabeth Yuko, a bioethicist and writer. We discuss the ‘Period Paradox,’ the lack of medical research focusing on menstrual pain and disorders, how menstrual shame and stigma are instruments of the patriarchy, and we have a fun discussion about how periods are represented in pop culture.
