OVARYaction
Hosted by Kira and Alexandria, two opinionated women who went from social workers to law students. Each week (give or take) they will react to something that has been on their minds or on the news. These days we do a lot of yelling about the Supreme Court. Are you a woman with an opinion? We have a third mic. To join us and yell/laugh/cry about something you care about, contact us on instagram at OvaryActionPodcast.
OVARYaction
OVARYaction v. Menstruation
IN THIS EPISODE
I know you're looking at the episode title and are already a little grossed out--DON'T BE!
On this episode of OVARYaction, Kira and Alexandria chat about menstruation. They cover normal, not gross things, like the origins of the taboo around menstruation, ad campaigns around menstrual products, PMS, and even Irritable Male Syndrome (who knew?!). Tune in to learn and help normalize the conversation surrounding menstruation. Not gross.
