is part of Hinduism. Also features prominently in ultra-orthodox (Haredi) Judaism, and maybe the orthodox kind too. Also is baked into Islam. And I have feeling it’s in some strains of Buddhism, but I’d have to check on that. (Don’t they have “menstrual huts” in some Buddhist countries, where females are banished to huddle among the rats and snakes in zero-degree weather with a bucket to crap in, for one week a month?). I don’t actually know what Christianity says about periods – which makes me wonder if it’s less backward and superstitious and misogynist than the others. Huh.

Seems that protecting the status of the majority group (men, straights, dominant race or ethnic group) plays a large role in right wing religion.
The Big Lie: "Make the lie big, Make it simple, Keep saying it, And eventually they will believe it." AH.
"Arguments must therefore be crude, clear and forcible, and appeal to emotions and instincts, not the intellect." JG
National issues (slavery/racism, income inequality, pandemics and pathetic health care, weak unions) are not solved with more states' rights. Global problems (climate change, migration, trade, war, pandemics) are not solved with more nationalism.
