The american indians had huts the women went into and stayed while they had their period.I wonder if that isolation included a few days beforehand. This could be a tradition to reconsider bringing back.

Later this month they will launch Dignity. Period!, a fundraising campaign to buy sanitary products for Zimbabwes women
don't want to rust those AK-47's

The crisis began in 1999 when Johnson & Johnson, the healthcare manufacturer, pulled out of the country because of the worsening economic situation.Uh no, the crisis began when they allowed Mugabe to stay on as Thug-For-Life.
Rather than donate tampons, they should be taking a few hundred thousand and hiring a professional assassin to take out Mugabe.

Do they have "social justice" yet? Isn't that what they were supposed to get by voting in that mugabe tyrant and killing/driving off all the white people?
To: TaMoDee
I assume they use something like these:

The hippies down the street try to sell these door-to-door occasionally.

Mugabe hangs on, but for how long. The black led opponents are organizing, occasionally the BBC gets smuggled reports out and they showed a meeting calling for "non-violent reisistance."
Mugabe is trying to win the few whites back by actually offering them land to farm, after he took all their farms away from them.
He needs to be taken out for good. These celebrities should be paying for mercenaries along with the pads and tampons.

That was my point... Cotton. Wool. i.e. Fabric. These poor women don't even have that.
It's a hideous topic. I am not one of those "oooh, let it flow with the moon" types of women, and am loath to even discuss it, yet I am appalled. I cannot imagine some poor woman, in the 21st century having to a) have to publicly fight for the problem because b) the going sanitary choice is rolled-up newspaper. Dear God.

Peat moss? Any relation to Kate moss?
No, that's Pete Doherty, and mercifully they're not related yet.

Bad actors

too much CGI

I am female and I totally agree
I would enjoy having a hut to be cranky in...hopefully no other cranky women would be in it as well..that could be trouble
To: modest proposal
What a great idea. I think menstrating women here should go stay in a special hotel too.
To: MadIvan
Would somebody hurry up and assassinate Mugabe?

I see a golden opportunity for Prince Charles to take the lead in this Commonwealth issue.
It would be his hystoric moment to define himself as heir-abhorrent, er, heir-apparent!
