Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Steinem argues that if men could menstruate, it would be celebrated and seen as a sign of strength and virility, while female menstruation is stigmatized and viewed as a weakness or burden. This is due to the patriarchal system and gender ranking that values qualities traditionally associated with men over those associated with women.
