I was referring to menstruation being openly discussed by friends and within a family including brothers, fathers?

I realize the video was exaggerated, but it showed such acceptance, openness and everyday-ness about something that used to be anything but that. Just wondering if that's what it's like these days!

But geez... that ad is shown on television?? So blatant? No "running through a field and playing tennis in white pants (wink wink)" any more?
