Periods, body positivity, and third wave feminism

[Athene]

I personally don't consider blood to be anywhere near as disgusting as human excrement; so, the comparison does seem a bit over-the-top to me. 

Also, the presence of a foul odor is NOT a normal occurrence during menstruation, and definitely needs to be brought to a healthcare provider's attention.

. . . unless you are just used to the smell of your own menstrual blood.

Pretty sure almost any bodily fluid if present in enough quantity is not going to smell like daisies.

I never said that menstrual blood is devoid of odor.
Or smells like daises.

But, foul-smelling menstrual blood (as in, the smell honestly makes you want to gag), that persists despite proper attention to hygiene, is not normal. It's typically a sign of infection, often due to pH imbalance.

And it should be brought to a healthcare provider's attention.
