Why do we think that it is a good thing to stop a woman's periods?

So what if it's annoying...it's nature and it happens for a reason. My brother told me that women are not allowed to pray in the Muslim religion while they are bleeding. I told him it's because they are already purifying themselves and don't need to pray during that time. Really, its the time of the month when the men need to put in some special prayers to help them survive.

If you stop getting your period there are no more good excuses to be a bitch. How can that be good?

This is a bit of a rant after a doctor pushed Depo Provera on me by exclaiming how my periods would eventually disappear and that this is a very desirable thing. Little note here. "Eventually" it will disappear on its own. Every time the male dominated medical profession comes up with a great idea like this I wish the Inquisition had wiped out doctors instead of midwives.
