Eli5: What happens with periods in space? Because of like no gravity (I might just be stupid)
In: Other
This was actually a legit worry back in the day because we simply didnt know what would happen to women in weightlessness. Hell, there was TONS of stuff we didnt know (and still dont know) about men in weightlessness. Toxic shock was a real worry when it came to women in space.
Edit- I think a lot of people couch this worry as an excuse for discrimination against women in the space program and there may be some truth to that but the fact remains that we simply didnt know what would happen. Toxic shock could easily have been the result, we were shooting in the dark back then when it came to humans in space.
