    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, on a point of order. I am dressed as per the Standing Orders. I am covered, I have a suit and collars. I am just short of a tie. I am very disappointed. I am actually more disappointed because the point of order that is being raised is to try and attack an accident that is natural. I have stained my clothes. At the end of the day, I just want to know why we are discussing this issue that is not even in the Order Paper. Is it because Senators are not women who have periods? Then, I should not be in this House because I have periods. On my way here, I actually stained my dress. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is the period stigma that is making our girls kill themselves. We have a girl who killed herself because of the same issue that I am going through. I now understand why because it is the women who are trying to make this a crime. Maybe, it is because it is Valentine’s Day and we are not supposed to have our periods. I am shocked that someone can stand here and say that the House has been disgraced because a woman has had her periods. So, women are not supposed to be in the Senate because we have periods? I do not understand. I am in trousers and I am covered. Honestly, the most someone can do is come to me and tell me “I am sorry, are you having period cramps or shall I give you pain killers”. Instead, I am being castigated for having my periods. We now need to talk about whether women belong in the Senate. We cannot pretend that women do not have periods because they are in the Senate. This is a very natural thing. I am very embarrassed and upset. Mr. Speaker, Sir, protect me."
