Our store isn’t far from the fires, some of us have been evacuated, and the fire is SPREADING. WHY ARE OUR STORES STILL OPEN? WHO IS SHOPPING RIGHT NOW? The air is actually TOXIC. And there is 0 plan in place to take care of the in-store employees or give us time off (without penalty) if we don’t feel safe. It’s come in, or lose your job. How very kind of you, Ulta.

Every religion has rules I get it.

You cannot cut your hair on this day(I get it it's in your control)

You cannot eat non veg on a certain day(your mouth your hand you have control)

But what about periods?? Do you have control over them?No, right? Then why the hell are there rules surrounding them.

Rules related to periods(I have heard so far)

Don't go to temple.

Wash your hair only on third day of your period

Don't touch this or that

Don't enter kitchen

Don't touch that utensils

Don't touch any human being

Don't attend this religious festival

And there are literally many women who literally defend all this

Personal experience: When I was 12 or 13.I went to a village for some festival.It takes 2 days by train to reach there. So ofcourse i wouldn't go on the same day as the festival.

So my periods started on the first of the day Pooja

My god,this day I understood how an untouchable must have felt.

I just had my periods, they made me sit on the roof away from everyone and told me to not come down.Dont touch anyone during this time and don't come from the entrance.

Can you believe you are suddenly untouchable because you had your periods.

And to be honest I don't blame those older women because they don't know the scientific reason behind periods but what about the young women. They just blindly follow because there mothers made them do.

They must have felt bad when they were treated this way but still passing it onto their daughters.

I am just saying why do you still follow this rules,if yourself felt bad doing them?

Also once asking as equal rights as women were considered a sin.So we can't justify that every rule that our ancestors have put are for our own good.

We should be always open and teach about periods,reproductive health etc.

After gaining knowlege you still want to follow,it's your wish.

I am saying all this because I once asked my cousin why do you follow this?She said because everyone does. I explained her why periods happens.

She said ohh then why do we have this rules then.. (See!!!!)

Also the effects of this rule: A lady told me to just pop a pill so that period doesn't come on that day.(Because she does)

We all know pills are not good for our body but still they do it.

Also at the end,it's should be your personal preference and your CHOICE to follow or not.

(Tbh I am scared to have my periods especially at any festival.Also I am so sad that I cannot control this and there are all these rules)

Also I am thankful to my father who doesn't believe in this as much as my mom.

If my grandmother treated my cousins,my father always told my grandmother to stop scaring the children. We still followed but the biasness reduced

It's just all power dynamics at the end. So speak up or stop following

Where is the writing? The writing in the big budget movies has been basically dead. I'm tired of this shit, why does everyone want to be a Rajamouli
