I have come from an educated family (both parents) and luckily married in a prgressive thinking family as well. But I have seen a lot of ladies being sort of secluded during 'that time' of the month. Although I am not sure if this has to do with education or compassion towards women (for that reason educated men go to strip clubs which I find is so dehumanizing for women) but anyway I feel being macho is not good for men as much as it is for women. I am not sure how people can kill their own kin and be happy with it later on. It sucks.
