Fun Fact Friday - I Am a Twelve-Year-Old Boy

I am a twelve-year-old boy. That's not the fun fact, because it is technically not factual and probably not all that fun, but come on! Urine, feces, genitalia, weird animal sex facts? I can practically feel my middle school days rushing back. By which I mean in middle school I was twelve and looked like a boy. In any case, today's fun fact will not break the mold on that because it's about lap dancers. And menstruation.

Fun fact: Exotic dancers earn less money in tips when they are menstruating.

This is what they're teaching me at school. Today I went to a special English department lecture and ended up learning that. Hoo-fucking-rah, right?

Of course, I am not one to take half-naked lady facts lightly. I needed corroboration. And it turns out some psychologists at the University of New Mexico did a survey of lap dancers to determine when in their menstrual cycles dancers got the best tips. They even made a chart.

I could give you more data, but honestly, I think I've said enough about menstruation as it is.

Except actually, in the early days of the company, Disney made a film called The Story of Menstruation. It's believed to be the first movie to use the word "vagina." As if you needed another reason to love Disney movies, right?

Some stills from the vagina movie. Classic.

And now I have officially said enough about menstruation.
