by Gloria Steinem BUY Dexamethasone ONLINE NO PRESCRIPTION, This piece originally appeared in Ms. magazine, October 1978, Austin, Texas, Memphis, Tennessee.

Living in India made me understand that a white minority of the world has spent centuries conning us into thinking a white skin makes people superior, Australia, uk, us, usa, even though the only thing it really does is make them more subject to ultraviolet rays and wrinkles.

Reading Freud made me just as skeptical about penis envy. The power of giving birth makes "womb envy" more logical and an organ as external and unprotected as the penis makes men very vulnerable indeed, buy Dexamethasone without prescription.

But listening recently to a woman describe the unexpected arrival of her menstrual period (a red stain had spread on her dress as she argued heatedly on the public stage) still made me cringe with embarrassment, BUY Dexamethasone ONLINE NO PRESCRIPTION. That is, Japan, craiglist, ebay, hcl, until she explained that, when finally informed in whispers of the obvious event, she had said to the all-male audience, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Las Vegas, Nevada, "and you should be proud to have a menstruating woman on your stage. Reasons to buy Dexamethasone online, It's probably the first real thing that has happened to this group in years!"

Laughter. Relief. She had turned a negative into a positive, købe Dexamethasone online, αγοράζουν online Dexamethasone. BUY Dexamethasone ONLINE NO PRESCRIPTION, Somehow her story merged with India and Freud to make me finally understand the power of positive thinking. Whatever a "superior" group has will be used to justify its superiority, Purchase Dexamethasone online no prescription, and whatever an "inferior" group has will be used to justify its plight. Black men were given poorly paid jobs because they were said to be "stronger" than white men, while all the women were relegated to poorly paid jobs because they were said to be "weaker", Dexamethasone 75mg. As the little boy said when he asked if he wanted to be a lawyer like his mother, Online buy Dexamethasone without a prescription, "Oh no, that's women's work." Logic has nothing to do with oppression.

So what would happen if suddenly, Dexamethasone 100mg, magically, Dexamethasone 625mg,650mg, men could menstruate and women could not.

Clearly, menstruation would become an enviable, boast-worthy, masculine event:

Men would brag about how long and how much, BUY Dexamethasone ONLINE NO PRESCRIPTION. Young boys would talk about it as the envied beginning of manhood. Gifts, buy no prescription Dexamethasone online, religious ceremonies, Boston, Massachusetts. Charlotte, Carolina, family dinners, and stag parties would mark the day.

To prevent monthly work loss among the powerful, buy Dexamethasone from canada, Congress would fund a National Institute of Dysmenorrhea. Jacksonville, Florida, Columbus, Ohio, Doctors would research little about heart attacks, from which men were hormonally protected, but everything about cramps, order Dexamethasone online c.o.d. BUY Dexamethasone ONLINE NO PRESCRIPTION, Sanity supplies would be federally funded and free. Of course, Indianapolis, Indiana, San Francisco, California, some men would still pay for the prestige of such commercial brands as Paul Newman Tampons, Muhammad Ali Rope-a-Dope Pads, John Wayne Maxi Pads, buy Dexamethasone no prescription, and Joe Namath Jock Shields - "For Those Light Bachelor Days."

Statistical surveys would show that men did better at sports and won more Olympic medals during their periods. Buy cheap Dexamethasone, Generals, right-wing politicians, and religious fundamentalists would cite menstruation ("men-struation") as proof that only men could serve God and country in combat ("You have to give blood to take blood"), 400mg, 450mg, occupy high political office ("Can women be properly fierce without a monthly cycle governed by the planet Mars?"), Buy Dexamethasone without a prescription, be priests, ministers, God Himself ("He gave this blood for our sins"), Dexamethasone 1000mg, 2000mg, or rabbis ("Without a monthly purge of impurities, Dexamethasone 5mg, women are unclean").

Male liberals or radicals, however, 0.4mg, 0.5mg, 1mg, 2.5mg, would insist that women are equal, Boston, Massachusetts. Charlotte, Carolina, just different: and that way a woman could join their ranks if only she were willing to recognise the primacy of menstrual rights ("Everything else is a single issue") or self-inflict a major wound every month ("You must give blood for the revolution").

Street guys would invent slang ("He's a three-pad man") and "give fives" on the corner with some exchange like, "Man, order Dexamethasone no prescription, you lookin' good!" "Yeah, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Phoenix, Arizona, man, I'm on the rag!"

TV shows would treat the subject openly. (Happy Days: Richie and Potsie try to convince Fonzie that he is still "The Fonz" though he has missed two periods in a row, BUY Dexamethasone ONLINE NO PRESCRIPTION. Hill Street Blues: The whole precinct hits the same cycle.) So would newspapers, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Las Vegas, Nevada. (SUMMER SHARK SCARE THREATENS MENSTRUATING MEN. Købe Dexamethasone online, αγοράζουν online Dexamethasone, JUDGE SITES MONTHLIES IN PARDONING RAPIST.) And so would movies. (Newman and Redford in Blood Brothers!)

Men would convince women that sex was more pleasurable at "that time of the month." Lesbians would be said to fear blood and therefore life itself, though all they needed was a good menstruating man, köpa Dexamethasone online, Osta Dexamethasone online, Jotta Dexamethasone verkossa. BUY Dexamethasone ONLINE NO PRESCRIPTION, Medical schools would limit women's entry ("they might faint at the sight of blood").

Of course, Purchase Dexamethasone online, intellectuals would offer the most moral and logical arguments. Without that biological gift for measuring the cycles of the moon and planets, how could a woman master any discipline that demanded a sense of time, Dexamethasone withdrawal, space, Dexamethasone 50mg, mathematics - or the ability to measure anything at all. In philosophy and religion, how could women compensate for missing the rhythm of the universe, online buying Dexamethasone. Or for their lack of symbolic death and resurrection every month.

Liberal males in every field would try to be kind, BUY Dexamethasone ONLINE NO PRESCRIPTION. The fact that "these people" have no gift for measuring life, the liberals would explain, should be punishment enough.

And how would women be trained to react. One can imagine right-wing women agreeing to all these arguments with a staunch and smiling masochism. (Phyllis Shlafley: "The ERA would force housewives to wound themselves every month." Marabel Morgan: "Your husband's blood is as sacred as that of Jesus - and so sexy too!")

Reformers and Queen Bees would adjust their lives to the cycles of the men around them. BUY Dexamethasone ONLINE NO PRESCRIPTION, Feminists would explain endlessly that men, too, needed to be liberated from the false idea of Martian aggressiveness, just as women needed to escape the bonds of menses-envy. Radical feminists would add that the oppression of the non-menstrual was the pattern for all other oppressions. ("Vampires were our first freedom fighters!") Cultural feminists would exalt a female bloodless imagery in art and literature. Socialist feminists would insist that once capitalism and imperialism were overthrown, women could menstruate, too. ("If women aren't yet menstruating in Russia," they would explain, "it's only because true socialism can't exist within capitalist encirclement.")

In short, we would discover, as we should already guess, that logic is in the eye of the logician. (For instance, here's an idea for theorists and logicians: If women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level, then why isn't it logical to say, that in those few days, women behave the most like the way men behave all month long. I leave further improvisation up to you.)

The truth is that, if men could menstruate, the power justifications would go on and on.

If we let them.
