Gloria Steinem, actually. It's in her collection _Outrageous
Acts and Everyday Rebellions_. She wrote it back when she was cool.

I kinda like bleeding once a month. Being on the Pill has eased
my cramps and lengthened my cycle from 22 days to 28 (although it
has given me some evil headaches, too). When I'm not cramping and
can sit back and relax and feel what my body is doing, it's pretty
neat.
