Re: Zephydel's Room
Yes, I blame the Puritans. We had a very long period, which is still kind of going on, where the "Moral Christian Majority" decided what was right and wrong, and encouraged ladies to be perfect and virtuous and encouraged people not to talk about personal matters, especially bodily functions. It's one of the reasons that fart and toilet jokes are so popular, due to the long standing taboo against them.
(yes, kind of ironic, but very normal)
We have been taught to be ashamed of our bodies and bodily functions by groups in power (or who are just very loud) who believe it's sinful.
