ICYMI: COMMENTARY: 'The Last of Us': Why shame-free period representation is important | SaltWire
What demarcates this scene from other tele-representations of periods is its commendable realistic nature.
This brief but important menstrual cup scene mirrors my realistic experience when it comes to periods: it can feel invasive at times, whether or not you are living amongst the flesh-eating Infected. Periods are not only handled as something disgusting and embarrassing in film and TV, but it is something I had witnessed firsthand — and that too at the most rapid physical development phase and deep emotional changes phase of my life.
Such stigma enforcement and refusal to normalize conversations on periods at that age did very little to empower me as a young person.The menstrual experience is vast: each experience is unique and there is no generic blueprint that writers can translate into film and convince all folks who menstruate that this is what menstruation is and your diverse and distinct menstrual experiences are invalid.
