Dale Martin opens with a discussion of what he sees as two deep contradictions in the Roman vision of sex and the body: first that men were only men when they were sexually active and impregnated women, yet they were more masculine and stronger when they "avoided sex"; second, that menstruation was female, yet men also menstruated without any loss of masculinity. Women who menstruated before age 12 were highly likely to get breast cancer first within the pair. They were asked to return for follow-up one week after the estimated onset of their next menstrual period; those who had not menstruated by that time or who had had an abnormal period were tested for pregnancy. |
