Sons of Menarche

Today in my biostat course, Prof/Doc Bob* (it's always weird when worlds converge and a Doc becomes a Prof- thank God that Whitecastle is not public health faculty) said 'menarche' at least 13 times.

Moi: I like that [boy] scientists came up with a word so they can avoid saying period or menstruation.

Laura: It even rhymes with patriarchy.


*I know, he needs a better name.  It's harder than it looks, OK?
