A History of Menstruation Conspiracy Theories feat. The Bizarre AF
Update: 2025-07-21
Description
Why has something as natural as menstruation been shrouded in shame, secrecy, and silence for centuries? In this episode, Alesha from The Bizarre AF joins me as we trace the blood trail through history - from ancient cultures that worshipped the menstrual cycle to the rise of patriarchal systems that demonized and medicalized it. We’ll dive into strange period-related conspiracy theories (including the belief that menstrual blood holds magical powers), examine how capitalism and colonialism shaped menstrual taboos, and ask the real question: who benefits from menstrual shame?
