Female flows

Just as I'd imagined, the judge ruled in my royal favour. Of course he did. I am right ain't I? Yes I was, am and always will be. Period. But there's yet another thing which is confusing me again. And it's the period word. And I am trying really hard to look at the situation with objective, no-hang-ups specs. And I still do not get it. I guess I am a moron, a royal moron when it comes to women's DIY gynaecology. And this is going to sound disgusting, at least to me, but it's the truth. Along the course of these four years, I have come to know teachers and their ways better. It really wasn't much trouble, my being the offspring of two other teachers (Yikes!) themselves. But I have never heard my parents talk in the same non-chalante way as do the teachers of 2009. The female teachers I mean. A lot, and I really mean a lot of them seem to think that menstruation, female periods or lack of them, are an interesting subject. Now it's ok, I know I am a private person who is very private about her privates and would never divulge something like that to anybody. But my female colleagues do. And it's not just girls-among-girls talk. No, equality reigns. Fine, I am a misfit, antisocial, and want nobody to know what's going on with me and my female private body. Perhaps I go over the top on being secretive. But that's me. And no, I do not live my life like a nun, never have, never will. And also no, I am no puritan. But discussing the female flows over coffee? And is it really necessary to describe, the length, width, colour, shape, viscosity of whatever is going on down there? I don't want to know. Because I don't care for one. And I find it disgusting for another. And they go on and on and rant and rave even in front of our male colleagues. It makes me cringe. It makes me want to run away. It makes me want to scream. And at the end of it all it makes me want to shoot them execution style. If the subject if going to be about blood, then I might as well as take the gore. Do I understand the whole issue? No. And yet I have to listen, because I haven't been brave enough to tell them to shut up. But I will one day soon. Very soon.
