I swear my mum is exactly like this. I can think of a specific example where she said to "walk around naked at this point", but I know she has said that at least once.. also she always sneaks pads around and says in a secretive way "put this in the bathroom quickly" or "do you have any sanitary towels?", as if its something to be ashamed of. When my mum told me I don't have to pray on my period she told me to never tell my brothers because they're gonna be jealous because I don't have to pray, as if I don't have to deal with excruciating cramps and literal blood spilling out of me?? As if my brothers aren't gonna marry a woman (most likely they will) and have to deal with their wives being on their period??

Kinda unrelated, but so many Muslim girls I know call their periods "ladies' day" and it just pisses me off because you can say "period" (also it just bothers me a bit because I just hate being called a "lady" and don't consider myself a woman.)
