Menstrual taboo
A menstrual taboo is any social taboo concerned with menstruation. In some societies it involves menstruation being perceived as unclean or embarrassing, extending even to the mention of menstruation both in public (in the media and advertising) and in private (amongst the friends, in the household, and with men). Many traditional religions consider menstruation ritually unclean.
Different cultures view menstruation differently. Studies in the early 1980s showed that nearly all girls in the USA believed that girls should not talk about menstruation with boys, and more than one-third of girls did not believe that it was appropriate to discuss menstruation with their fathers.〔Williams, L. R. (1983). "Beliefs and Attitudes of Young Girls Regarding Menstruation". In Menarche, ed. Sharon Golub. Lexington, MA: Lexington.〕 The basis of many conduct norms and communication about menstruation in western industrial societies is the belief that menstruation should remain hidden.〔Laws, S. (1990). ''Issues of Blood: The Politics of Menstruation''. London: Macmillan.〕
In other societies certain menstrual taboos may be practised without the connotation of uncleanness. According to the anthropologists Buckley and Gottlieb cross-cultural study shows that, while taboos about menstruation are nearly universal, a wide range of distinct rules for conduct during menstruation "bespeak quite different, even opposite, purposes and meanings" with meanings that are "ambiguous and often multivalent".〔Buckley, T., and Gottlieb, A., eds. (1988). ''Blood Magic: The Anthropology of Menstruation''. Berkeley: University of California Press. (p. 7)〕
