In fact, it is very annoying when there is a big family function and a woman or two refrains from being an active participant because of a biological function. These are our moms and aunts and sisters and spouses we are talking about. I can never be satisfied with an explanation of 'this has how it has always been' for anything. Menstruation could be a big issue in days before the sanitary napkins and cramp medications. But, those days are long gone and the unquestioning obedience to that era's social behaviours should go too. It doesn't mean that what happened earlier might have been entirely wrong. But it means that what used to happen is no longer relevant and hence should be changed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740007868724686264.post-72560776259119039722013-12-06T11:27:55.612+05:302013-12-06T11:27:55.612+05:30Yes, we are brought up in that way and we follow t...Yes, we are brought up in that way and we follow these practices without even questioning..

But I do not like to break the customs but would like to question them not with an intention to prove them wrong but to satisfy my curiosity. this is an off-beat post. thanks for writing and making us think.kalpana solsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459797629127380780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740007868724686264.post-21036539374920488502013-12-04T22:40:40.889+05:302013-12-04T22:40:40.889+05:30If only everyone understood that!
