Mansturation. How Annoying Venture Capitalists Fueled this Culture Changing Book with Alyx Coble-Frakes

This story has a very happy ending but it begins with, "I wrote Manstruation because I was so furious at men, I was so full of rage, I was so full of righteous, feminine anger, after years of building The Agenda Period, consistently interfacing with decision makers who had never had periods..."

Alyx Coble-Frakes continually ran into ignorance, sexism, paternalism and much more as she pitched her business to venture capitalists. After a particularly horrible conversation in which she was told, "...I think that your case may be easier if you had some men who could be in the arena with you as allies, but we just don't know what to do. So maybe you could make a blog, maybe you could lead a discussion. Maybe you could have some kind of forum to support the good, well intentioned men who would be great allies for your cause," Alyx turned her frustration into fuel and wrote, "Manstruation: A Field Guide to Not Sucking When Someone Around You Has Their Period (and How You Can Be Supportive in Every Other Phase as Well) The result? Through the process, "I really stopped being so angry with men and that was beautiful." I can't wait for you to hear this incredible story!
