I didn't. She did. It's been happening since she was 12.
She couldn't use an analog cell phone when menstruating. New digital phones work fine. She has a red felt 'M' in her office that someone only half-jokingly gave to her with a request to wear it on 'those days.'
She's a walking encyclopedia of menstrual taboos, it's something of a hobby with her. Do you know that, into the early 20th century, mensturating women were not allowed in bakeries because it was thought it would make the bread fall? That the origin of walking under a ladder = bad luck is based upon a menstrual taboo? Or that to this day menstruating women aren't allowed in French perfumeries? How would anyone know, you ask? According to her, a prime criterion for a menstrual taboo is that it is self-imposed; women do not violate it because they buy into it.
