Please ask your friend about her culture and religion. Many different religions have traditions and beliefs around menstruation and what might be odd to us is accepted tradition in their faith. I grew up near an Orthodox Jewish community and there is a set of rules and laws surrounding family purity. Learn from your friend. Dad may still be a nut case.
