Talk:GRSJ224/Menstruation: Perspectives from India

This is a fascinating page! I found this extremely useful for comparing religious practices surrounding menstruation. I noticed that the section regarding christianity stated that there was not a taboo or need for specific practices. To my understanding, menstruation does have taboos attached to it in christianity. As it states in Leviticus 15:19-24

"she shall be in her menstrual impurity for seven days, and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening. And everything on which she lies during her menstrual impurity shall be unclean. Everything also on which she sits shall be unclean. And whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening. And whoever touches anything on which she sits shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening."

While many Christians may not practice these observances, it is interesting to see parallels between religions.

Hi!

I have included this, thank you!

Hey! I really enjoyed this page, very interesting topic! I noticed you used a lot of sources but not many links (if any at all?). It might be useful to link other wikipedia pages into your page such as a link on the menstruation cycle!

Here's a link I found: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menstrual_cycle

Hi! Thank you for your suggestion! I have included a link now!

Hey! This is a really informative page, I had no idea of the implications of menstruating in Indian culture. I appreciate the inclusion of the perspectives of other religions.

I was wondering if you could include or link to a specific examples of how or why menstruating individuals are marginalized for all of them? I also understand that it is not the focus of your posting, so it would not be a necessary change.
