The Meaning of Housewife and Husband

As we go through the book, I notice your reclaiming words sometimes from very early on saying that these feel more friendly to you, they feel more like you. So I thought we could go back and kind of seize a few old words. And around menstruation you found the word flowers for example didn't you? Yeah flowers probably used as a word for periods because it was understood that just as a plant needs flowers to fruit, menstruation was part of fertility.
