Depends on the individual. Though IMO that would strike me as being unwise in the American workplace, particularly in mixed company.

It's very individual. Personally, I never saw the issue - it's just a biological thing, after all. But then, I'm a woman myself.

Could just be her trying to explain why she might be feeling off. It's very individual x 3.

Periods are perfectly normal. The days of shaming them should have been over by now.

She said it to justify not fasting after I asked if she is. It made me want to throw up. It's not customary.
It definitely depends on the girl. My mother and sister get angry even when I mention that they must be on their period when they're obstinate and emotional at certain times in the month.

IIRC, her period would make her hungrier than she would be the rest of the month.

she replied.
