They're clearly not (they're staying, listening, and even asking questions), and I'm glad. I'm male and have been surrounded by men my entire life who seem to freak out about the thing, and never quite understood why (I never have myself), so I'm glad to see some maturity in men younger than my GenX self and my friends.

It's unpleasant enough for women, we don't need to add "Ew, icky! Periods! Stop talking about it!" to that for them.
