What's the logic in barring women from entering the so called 'sacred places'?
Is this still the consequences of male supremacy 'nd dominancy that put women ensnared in shackles?
Well, if feminism is abt fighting for equal rights for women, 'nd speaking against the 'foolish' 'selfish' acts that favours men or a particular category, then I'm a feminist 'nd also a boy!
What's ur opinion? Would these things bother u?

I am also a boy and a fanatic feminist. But I am not agreed in playing with the religious beliefs and old myths. There is many scientific reasons behind this criteria.
Women were not allowed in temples during periods. It is not male domination. The real reason behind these things is,
Temple is a place of positive energy. The women who has period is lack of positive energy and has a bit of negative energy due to blood leaking problems. When positive energy hits on negative energy (Women) there is a chance of falling down or unconsciousness. Due to this problem, they are not allowed in temple during periods. But the time has changed and many rumoured that it is forbidden to allow women.
Even women are not interested in entering the temple during periods because no one is interested in breaking their religious beliefs and they thought that answering the rumours to useless guys is useless.
Recently, two mid-aged ladies entered the Sabarimalai temple. They are actually feminist. But many of them taunts them for entering including their family members.
They said, " If you are right feminist, give justice to Asifa and other girls. Instead of that, you're fighting for these beliefs. Shame on you."
Feminism should arouse when a girl is not given justice when is innocent. That is real feminism.
