Menstruation is still one of patriarchy's worst hidden secrets! Everyone is aware of it, yet we pretend that males are unaware. This restriction is never waived, even during Ramadan.

During the holy month of Ramadan, Muslim women on social media have been discussing the difficulties of eating while having their periods.
Some women have stated that they keep away from male relatives in order to avoid being gazed at or having to lie about menstruation. "Some individuals don't want to recognise this problem exists because they perceive it as a negative reflection on the Muslim religion," Sophia Jamil, a beauty blogger told the BBC.
