'I want her to know there's absolutely no reason she should be embarrassed about her body . . . ever.'
Parents Are Throwing Their Daughters Period Parties to . . . Celebrate a Life of Impending Menstrual Misery?
"Right before I got pregnant, I noticed how ashamed we've all been made to feel about getting our period," Schumer says in her special."Our whole lives it's like we choose it, like, 'Ugh, can't kick my bleeding habit! I want it! I wanna do it!' It's supposed to be, you know, a secret. Like the second you get it, your mom goes, 'You're a woman now! And that's disgusting.
It was funny because it's true, but it stuck with me because that's absolutely not the message I want to give my daughter.
