splashing around in the muck and the mire

I was thinking about how now there is a pill that you can take to stop periods, and what that probably means is that in a few years, there will be another one that stops people from having to pee. What an inconvenience all of this human biological garbage is. If we could just keep going and don't have to stop for anything that might make us be aware of our animal origins, imagine what we can do and how far we can go.
What are we so fearful of when it comes to our bodies and especially female functions; it's amazing how distant women can be from their own experiences, even with childbirth, or especially with childbirth.
When we had Gus at home, the uproar it caused for our doctors, families and selves was a huge challenge to contend with. But we did, and by using moderation in our approach to the entire experience, we kind of bypassed any massive conflict because we were flexible on many counts and didn't make it a rhetorical or issue related experience. It was just Eamon and I not wanting to go to a hospital to have a kid, we wanted to be in the setting of our own home, albeit a rental, where somehow we ended up in the bathroom and not because we had to use it.
