As recently as 70yrs ago, women needed to drain all blood in a utensil. That's why the tradition was formed of 'women staying in one room one corner during periods'
This was due to obvious reason that if she moves then it'll make everything bloody. The issue is, people don't understand the reason behind such traditions.
Funny anecdote.
A guru had 4 students. They used to meditate together by lighting a small bonfire. Now the guru had a cat so he asked his students to bring a rope so he could tie the cat.
50yrs later guru passed away and now their tradition is 'have meditation near bonfire' but bring a cat and a rope and tie it outside the room.
Failure to understand the reason behind traditions makes ppl think women r impure. They used to be impure during periods when there weren't sanitary napkins. But now its not the case.
- hartator 8y ago> They used to be impure during periods when there weren't sanitary napkins. Are you saying women used to be impure before pads? Are you serious?
- meestaahjoshee 8y agothats not what he/she is saying
- hartator 8y agoRe-read parent.
- elliekelly 8y agoThat's exactly what they're saying: > They used to be impure during periods when there weren't sanitary napkins. But now its not the case.
- thewhitetulip 8y agoYou seem to not understand what you are reading. If you bleed then the blood is on your body. That makes you technically "impure" The same logic is being peddled by retards in this century to say women r imoure during periods. Learn to read objectively and if you can't then keep your ignorant thoughts with yourself otherwise you go around announcing your ignorance.
- thewhitetulip 8y agoThey bled. The blood would've made them technically "impure" This blind retarded logic is used by religious retards now
- elliekelly 8y ago> This was due to obvious reason that if she moves then it'll make everything bloody. First of all, that's not how menstruation works. Like, at all. Educate yourself.[1] I also don't know what the hell you're referring to when you say "utensil" but women throughout history had a lot of substitutes for the modern menstrual pad.[2] Contrary to you're very ignorant beliefs, they didn't just walk around bleeding all over the place until tampons were invented.

- thewhitetulip 8y agoYou don't know what I'm referring to when I say about utensil because you don't know what Indian women used in those times before pads were invented. If you don't know the fact, stop assuming you are right and I am ignorant. Because in this case you are the ignorant one Did you not read the rest of the post? Or are you the kind of person who reads only one sentence and then goes on a lecture spree? I have read what I have said about the "utensil" in books written in my mother tongue. You won't be able to read them unless you learn the language but I will be happy to provide the name and even the book if you are interested. Don't assume I am an idiot who doesn't know what I am talking. But in India women used a utensil in a special room which they did not leave until their periods ended. That's the reality and that's why women weren't allowed tomove around in the house those days I have literally seen grandmothers restricting their daughter in law to a corner during the girls period. This happened in 2017. They don't understand the reason behind the tradition. Just follow blindly
