We’re reaching the last scant minutes of International Women’s Day 2016, but never fear: here is an excellent web series called Period Piece that will more or less tell you everything about menstruation throughout history.
Hi guys, I have a confession to make: until I started writing here, I didn’t really get the whole spiel behind the Kardashian Empire.
