OH MY GOD DOES THIS MECHANICALLY INCENTIVIZE RUBBING YOUR PERIOD BLOOD ON A MOTHERFUCKER?

Welcome to mature gaming in the World of Darkness.
My wife confirmed that that merit was disgusting, tasteless, and stupid. I really don't think that people being revolted by menstrual blood being smeared on things is because "lady parts are gross." Menstrual blood is chunky and has sloughed off membranes and mucous in it and stuff. Menstrual blood is, quite simply, pretty disgusting.
Which is definitely not to say that a group of matriarchal vampire sorcerers shouldn't have crazy crap to do with menstrual blood. Obviously they should. But running around with a handful of menstrual blood trying to smear it on people so they get your magic cooties is not that thing. It is obviously not that thing, because that's the kind of juvenile gross-out maneuver that someone might come up with to do with a used tampon if they were five.
Collecting menstrual blood in ornate goblets to say prayers over while the moon rises? Yes. Throwing used tampons at people to give them cuties? Hell no. That's Black Tokyo levels of prurient juvenile gross-out shenanigans.
Yeah, making a tampon launcher so you can get your Dominate on sounds more like South Park than witchcraft and that's exactly what you will get if it's a combat speed trick. What they really need is more slow ritual magic that is worth performing in the first place. Then you could just bake bonuses into the system for having a material components asset and let people make up whatever bullshit they want.
Crossbow bolts dipped in vamperiod blood? Yes, that is exactly what we all needed to really get on board with NWoD. Pardon me while I buy all the books.
Or mix the mace with the aerosolized blood and go to town with two of those.

See, it's because K's belief in leaving generation of individual monsters to GMs makes him Chaotic, whereas Frank's belief in the easier usability of monsters pre-generated by game designers makes him Lawful, and clearly these philosophies are so irreconcilable as to be best represented as fundamentally opposed metaphysical forces.
