Global Period = Girl Power

Let’s say that we manage to synchronize the menstrual periods of millions of women from all around the world.
What do we want to achieve with this experiment?
What a question.
Why are you happy if your national team wins, let’s say, the soccer world cup?
What’s in it for you?
Why do you enjoy attending a concert with thousands of people when you could just rent the DVD and watch it in the comfort of your home?
Why do you go to a nightclub to dance with dozens of sweaty strangers when you could just do it in your living room?
Because sharing is important.
More than important, it is critical, instinctive, healthy.
It is in our very nature.
We are a gregarious species and we just need company.
When it comes to sharing, the more the merrier.
There’s power in numbers.
So, what if we end up synchronizing women from all over the planet?
Apart from the emotional support, we think that we will make a bold statement to governments and corporations.
You know, these guys need us much more than we need them.
They need our attention and our approval.
They would give and arm and a leg to be able to engage us in a conversation.
Women are half the population on the planet, for one thing.
We can change laws, views and prejudice.
We can get freebies and perks.
Who knows.
Let's start a mutually beneficial conversation of equals.
It will definitely be a win win situation.
