Global Period = Girl Power

A womynkind forwarded us this link called The Global Period Project which is a social media experiment that aims to synchronize all the women of the world's periods. Yes, you're probably thinking "Why would I want to know how many womyn out there has the same period cycle as I do?" We've all heard about the theory that the menstrual cycles of women in close proximity often synch up, so the agency in Miami decided to buid a social networking tool via Global Period Project to see if it can replicate this effect with virtual contact.

Can the women of the world get on the same period schedule via social networking? Is it social media's feminist celebration of the much maligned monthlies? With topics posted such as 'Share the Health', 'Do Periods Really Love Company' on their globalperiod.blogspot.com, womyn from around the world share their experience of this once-a-month encounter and how they dealt with it.

So due to curiousity, this writer registered herself for the project in which she will find out in 27 hours, how many womyn out there in the world sharing the same period cycle. This should be interesting. You can also sign up on their social network via http://globalperiod.ning.com & find out how many womyn have hunger pangs & cravings before their cycle and how many go through a calm cycle vs. a temperamental one. All in the name of womynhood.
