My New Joke: "Menstruation"

 I like to think about words and their meaning and how society uses them. For example, have you ever wondered why a woman's ovary cycle is called "Menstruation?" I mean, shouldn't it at least be called "Womenstruation?" Or was is named the "Menstrual" cycle because it's a "trial" for men to deal with? At least it kinda works in the word "Menopause," as in "it's time for men to take a pause in using this uterus..."

"What's your phone number?" "I do not have a phone." "What's your email address?" "I do not use email." "How are we supposed to contact you?" "You do not need to.  I will contact you." (Mean stare at me) ...   It was not so long ago that this was a totally acceptable answer.  Every day, more and more, I am being treated like something alien because I do not have a phone or give people my email address.  But I am STILL A HUMAN BEING.  Perhaps I am more  of a Human because of this.   For example, the Pharmacy asked for my phone number.  I asked them why they needed it.  They said it was so that they could contact me when my medications were ready.  I explained that I have a voicemail number, which only exists in cyberspace, and that if they left a message there I would have to go somewhere that had a computer in order to check it, thus it was inconvenient for me to check my messages.  I know when my prescrip...
