socio - guilt

i had tuned in randomly to some trashy talk show and had caught a woman making a complaint about her husband and how he refuses to touch her during her period, and she couldn't understand it. that was followed by 4 or 5 female audience members standing up and saying about how they'd never have sex during this time, etc - reinforcing the same attitude this man had about his wife.
although pads and tampons are effective, and get the job done - i find it interesting how we've pushed ourselves from the natural world. the idea of this man accepting her as his wife and then drawing a line against what is her body's natural process seems hideous to me. he could make an attempt. how is his declaration different from him saying that he is only going to be her lover 6 days of the week and on saturday he's disappearing and coming back on sunday?
to me, she's living with a man that hasn't accepted her for ALL she is. that seems very sad to me.
and its not totally this man's fault. the women who were so quick to leap up and back him up demonstrated this. im going to do some research and find out more...
