GENDER ISSUE DASHTAN Where are our more beautiful Forum Friends? Where are all those “bloody” ladies, our mothers, sisters, wives and daughters?** I placed this here under the category of Gender ISSUES Yes, I emphasized ISSUE, i.e flow, discharge. See below. **Where are all those bloody bastards that call our women “bloody” ? In another topic we spoke about this http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=52578#entry307098 Where I posed the following question. I neglected to mention that I heard that quote about the uncleanness of women from the mouth of an Armenian clergy. Bloody? Did that clergy know anything about women from other than what that heap of trash, aka the Old Testament says? Did he know about our PUREST women like Anahit, Astghik, Gayaneh , Hripsimeh et al? This whole thing of discrimination and persecution of women begins in that Book some call the Word of God. The Breath of God, AstvatsaShunj. If in fact it is a Word of God, then why did the Creator who endowed womankind with such a gift of life would i.e cleansing the uterus for a fresh seeds of life, condemn it? The menses in religions. In case we lose the site I will quote the relevant segment of the article below. http://myperiodblog.wordpress.com/2010/11/19/menstruation-and-religion/ The Armenian word for menstruation is DASHTAN http://www.nayiri.com/imagedDictionaryBrowser.jsp?dictionaryId=7&pageNumber=629 http://nayiri.com/imagedDictionaryBrowser.jsp?dictionaryId=6&pageNumber=511 See synonyms Armenian here; http://www.nayiri.com/imagedDictionaryBrowser.jsp?dictionaryId=25&pageNumber=160 **Note that when we say menses=moons, months we are not talking about the modern calendar of 28-29-30- 31 day months but the 28 day lunar month., except every 4 years , leap year when Februay gains a day to 29. ====
