The history of menstruation language
The history of menstruation language
The way we talk about our periods hasn t always been the same. Here s how our language around menstruation has evolved over time.
Linguistic experts Lucy Trowbridge, and Taylor Hermerding, from the language learning app Babbel offer insight into the linguistic stigma surrounding periods and menstruation for Menstrual Hygiene Day (28th May):
If we look back through history, menstrual cycles have been stigmatised as an inconvenient time of the month that shouldn’t be spoken about while in polite company. Throughout the 20th century, the phrases and euphemisms used to describe menstruation, such as sanitary products and feminine hygiene , have often implied that there is something unclean or dirty about periods. Many generations were taught that having a period is something that shouldn’t be discussed, or that periods are something about which to be ashamed.
A delusion is âan idiosyncratic belief or impression that is firmly maintained despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality or rational argument, typically a symptom of mental disorderâ (Oxford Languages Dictionary). The important part of this definition is the denial of reality.
Certainty in a belief system that results in hearing voices instructing the believer to kill others is delusional. Mob behavior can be delusional, believing that the corporate action of the group is necessary for some greater good, even if it means killing the vice president and the speaker of the House of Representatives. Stoked by Trump declaring, on the day Congress was certifying election results, that the election was stolen, the mob stormed the Capitol building.
