00:00When you look at the dropout rates, the comparative chart between boys and girls,
00:04one of the inflection points is at 12-13 years of age.
00:08Girls just drop out. They stop going to school.
00:10Because there is a stigma attached to menstruation.
00:13Because their parents didn't tell them anything, there is no sex education,
00:17and when the bleeding starts in the school, it becomes a spectacle.
00:20There is just so much shame and embarrassment.
00:22And for the others, it's good fun, and girls just drop out.
00:25From the brain to the heart to the kidneys, there are things that have their own cycles, time periods.
00:32Even the layers of skin that automatically peel off, they have their own periods, time period.
00:3872 days. That too is a period.
00:40Just as the unfertilized egg is being shed, similarly, the skin is also shed, both men and women.
00:46And this is happening with all organs in the body in some way or the other.
00:49Because you blow it up into such a big thing, in the mind of the girl also,
00:54it becomes a disproportionately big thing, whereas it is nothing.
00:58It's like any other usual process in the human body.
01:02That's it.
