Hello Readers,
I had to post about a Disney film that I just discovered. As a biology teacher, I certainly found the movie's contents highly entertaining and fairly accurate, although a little too steeped in 1940's culture for my liking. Regardless, the backdrop of the story is this: Kimberly-Clark devised a material to use as bandages, but later learned that WWII nurses were also using the bandages as sanitary napkins, a word that later became taboo. As such, Kimberly-Clark decided to market their bandages to the public as such. However, in order to truly corner the consumer market, they commissioned Disney to create this film for schools to show to middle and high school female students. I guess their intent was to develop brand loyalty by getting 'em while they were young. How strategic! Nevertheless, I intend to show it to my students to review female physiology, if even for a hearty chuckle.
Have a look and see a side of Disney that you will likely not see again:
The Story of Menstruation
I especially liked the later content about slouching, constipation, and heroic feats!
Happy viewing!
