just wondering. Sort of. If you lived in a pre-medical camp with a million other people before the tampon, good pathology, or hand sanitizer, do careful measures during the time of a bodily discharge (especially a strange one) sound discriminatory? or just safe?
I was resisting comment, but I guess.... I guess I just thought I would be the dissenting voice. Hope you don't hate me for it.
actually, the fact that people quote parts of the old testament in an anti-homosexual way but then turn around justify these beliefs as perfectly reasonable is what rankles me. i have seen protesters holding signs that that cite leviticus as a reasonable source for homophobia, yet the passages are later explained away as "oh, those are just the guidlines for the isrealites, not us" this has happened multiple times. in various parts of my life and confrontation of christianity.
oh, and the term "unclean" here refers to spiritually unclean and there is not a single medical reference here, it's all spirit this and spirit that. i think that these passages are the source for misogyny and the shame culture that surrounds the female body... actually, bodies in general. also, who are you?
How do you know that the tern "unclean" here refers to spiritually unclean?
Also, what other sources of misogyny and shame culture are there present? I'm wondering what real impact these passages from the Bible (that most people -- most "Christians" -- don't even read) have on the perceptions of the common person. What do you think? Thousands of years have passed since their original declaration. Has any of their power to influence been lost?
