Never ever did I say don't do it or don't find joy in it.

I fully support whatever people want to do to themselves out of their own volition.

I think you're hung up and upset that I call it masochism.

Here is my logic.

Asphyxiation = suffering. Being bound and gagged = suffering. Finding pleasure in acts that would be suffering to most others = masochism. Sometimes people engage in masochism out of love.

Starvation = Suffering. Fasting = Timed and temporary starvation. You draw the conclusion.

And I say the same of all fasting. Be it religious, intermittent, or juice cleanse.

In whole,

Your post = chutiyapa

Arrey ATC left sshit i was little late wanted to ask her the significance of Mahalaya festival.

But i googled it for my knowledge purposes.

Goddess durga visits her Maika( Mother's home.. why isnt it called father's home.. so matriarchal) Anyways at her parents home, she is welcomed and prepared all her favorite dishes... On the last day of the ritual only married women participate in a special ritual called Sindhoor Khela. Where married women participate in smearing each other with sindoor on Vijayadashami.

According to commonly held belief, if a woman plays Sindur Khela by following the proper custom, she will never be widowed. Sindur Khela symbolizes the power of womanhood in protecting her husband from all evil.

Here is what baffles me... instead of celebrating women power... we are performing a ritual which is dependent on her marital ties. As unmarried, widowed or divorced are not allowed to participate. Why arent these ladies important for the society. Am i missing something.

I hope ATC will support eradicating such a regressive ritual as well.

The ritual has been criticized for being patriarchal in nature, because of the over emphasis on the married status of the goddess as well as the women.😲 Bengali Hindu girls grow up seeing the married ladies in their family participate in the playful ritual, which creates among them a sense of life being incomplete without getting married. 🤔

Critics feel that this can create a regressive impact on young women.

Oops.

Not me(not that we Nepali have KC), I just can't tolerate a religious wife .

Meri maa hi kaafi hai, ek religious person in the house.

Its not regressive agreed but the qs is does kc really help in longevity of your spouse? Has this been scientifically proven? If that’s the case why is it only done once a year.

Let's also ask, does fasting in Ramadan, please Allah? Is it scientifically proven? If that's the case, why is it done only once a year?

Kuch bole toh bhi problem, kuch na bole toh bhi problem 😆

Bole to soch samajh ke bole na. Vested Interests rakh ke bolegi to sunegi hi.

Middle east mai jaake bole Ramadan is regressive i will wait for her return. Oh wait must be calling her husband to ask Modi ji for personal favor... Same modi ji who is spreading Hindutva. OMG!

India mai she not only survived blurting her misguided opinions but also living happily without following it.

Break time.😆 Cyall later if thread survives.
