I know it shouldn't but it's just how people are brought up, and I'm talking about women too. Just think about how we talk about this subject whether it's in public or in private. Do we speak in hushed tones so that no one overhears us? Do we use the correct terminology in a direct way or do we speak around the bushes and hope that the other person understands it.
There are certain subjects that have been labelled as taboo and it's why we can't talk about them in everyday conversations. Anything related to sex, periods etc. are seen as being highly perverse. If one does talk about them then they're seen in a particular light, usually not so favorable.
And this is just between men and women. Think about how this subject is broached between women alone. I don't fault men nor women for this per say. It's just the society's way of thinking. Rather than it being gendered, it should instead be seen as a normal, everyday part of life. Just like men get boners, women get their periods. It really is that simple of a concept. Dunno why it needs to be treated as it being akin to night and day.
