Period “.” Not to advance. Full stop kah lo.

Re: Why are they called....

actually its called a period not period(s)......referring to the cycles of menstruation. But the correct term is still Menstruation.

Re: Why are they called…

Period is more comforting a term to girls than Menstruation. I have observed this.

Re: Why are they called…

Agree..

Re: Why are they called....

Nah, "menstruation" has more syllables, so its more convenient to say "period"

Re: Why are they called....

^ it has the word MEN in it too

Re: Why are they called....

all the painful things that happen in a woman's life have the word men in it:) for example:

Menstruation
menopause
mental illnesses
