Not saying i agree or disagree, but interesting pov.
At my home, when I am on my period, my life is suddenly transported to an era where I become untouchable.
This is how my life looks like during the first 3 days of my period:
Earlier I was not allowed to touch the tap because the tank is in the bathroom (old-style). If I wanted to take a bath or wash clothes, someone else would turn on the tap for me, and when I was done I would call them to turn it off. This changed after 7-8 years, when I got my period while I was taking a bath. I informed my mother of my period when I came out of bathroom. You can't imagine the taunts and drama that ensued. It was such a ridiculous thing to fight over, but thank goodness I won, partly because my father had my back.
Over the years, as I began to understand things, I started opposing some of these rules. Everytime I see an opportunity, I start a conversation on periods to change my mother's mind. I question a lot and implore her to answer me logically. Truth be told, it feels like I am a revolutionary in my own right.
I don't blame my mother for anything, because it's not her fault that she behaves such way or has these rules. For years, she also went through the same treatment, and even if she wanted to change, these mannerisms are now ingrained in her mind. Decade-old habits are extremely rare to change.
I know I will not be able to change all her ways, neither do I want to. I am okay with not going into the kitchen and getting the food served, as I anyway would not be able to feed myself given the period pain and loss of strength. But I will work to change things enough that I am not treated as an untouchable anymore.
I have a dumb question to ask, can you move out of your Home?
I can understand why you would ask this. Yes, I can move out of my home. But I would move away only for my career growth. I get angry at my mother for being this way but I don't hate her. Although I absolutely hate how women have been ill-treated throughout centuries in the name of religion and culture, for us to still be oppressed like this.
Ohhh my mom never believed in any of it. She is way too cool. But my dadi wasn't. So once I got periods while visiting grandparents, God the drama to even dispose the used pad.
Thankfully we are a nuclear family. All the rules I follow are the ones I want to follow (for my convenience). I get a lot of leverage from little work I do.
Are you allowed to go in pooja in ghar ka mandir or temple?
I am lucky in this. My family never believed in any of these rules. Except one. We do not visit temples nor go to pooja Ghar. I am fine with this rule. But what u go through is vv strict.

Awkward question I know, but my recent monthly visitor made me realise - even after decades of having it I still haven't figured it out.
In my case, I thought I had hurt myself. Like how kids fall and knee bleeds but the blood stops after a while. Though...
I don’t see anything wrong with this. It’s clear that the agenda is not to give additional leave benefit, but to norm...
