Hindu belief: menstruating women attract demons [pic]

Menstruating women are banned from Hindu temples because it is believed that the release of blood from a body orifice -  in this case from the vagina - attracts spirits and demons that can devastate a family's happiness and it's power of vitality [Source]. These signs, seen at the entrances to Hindu temples in Bali, Indonesia, demonstrate how seriously the Hindu faithful believe this notion.

hindu temples

I have always known menstruating women were evil incarnate. Now, I'm pleased to see this belief to be independently corroborated by the international Hindu religious community.

Is there nothing we can do to protect us from these impure and devil attracting women?

PMS

You prefer your women pre-menstrual, do you?

I agree completely, My ex

I agree completely, My ex wife used to turn into the devil himself,-----usually four or five days before her period!-----strangely enough became human again during her period. Possibly the secret is to ban women altogether! Jews and Muslims learned this ages ago!

Fuck religion

and fuck their retarded ancient bigotry. we have invented these things called 'tampons' so it's not running down her leg any more.

Hmm, I've been to many

Hmm, I've been to many temples in Southern India but don't remember seeing something like this, never heard of something like this either. I don't think its enforced that much over here. Perhpas its because as athiest I never paid much attention to these kinds of things.

This is disgusting. I can't

This is disgusting. I can't believe that there are still people out there who think like this.

Without women menstruating... you wouldn't be here!!! it wouldn't be possible for women to get pregnant without menstruating. Almighty God created us in this way and it's perfect. How and when it gets convoluted and utterly stupid is when men try to find a way to superiorate themselves. Women are the foundation and fabric of society. A great mother has the ability to create a great being. Great women create great societies. To call women 'evil' is to call God's creation 'evil'.

Get over yourselves and stop treating your mothers, wives and daughters in such a derogatory manner. From woman you were born. That which a woman menstruates is the very thing which supports human life in the womb. It's a great and wondrous thing! Blood runs through your body every second of everyday. It carries the component upon which all life is supported. How is that connected to evil??

If you just give me a second, I'll make you bleed and turn you literally into bloody 'satan'!!

Humankind has the responsibility to show compassion to all forms of life. Show it!

Is it That time of the month

Is it That time of the month love?

:runs and hides:

It's okay, within a few days

It's okay, within a few days I'll just be two steps ahead of you instead of 10.

It's so amusing that males are afraid of females who are mean and nasty during those few days.
Shows what cowards they are. XD

Haha, who ever said the pussy was weak must be having pretty bad sex.
