00:00Do you allow somebody to go and urinate in a place of worship?
00:04Then how can menstruating women be allowed in places of worship?
00:08You are defiling a secret space.
00:11This is coming from veteran members of the community.
00:14They respond, no, we don't agree with this.
00:16The discharge is a lot of dead cells from the uterus.
00:21So what is the problem with dead cells?
00:22They are not dropping the dead cells in there.
00:24This arm is covered with dead cells.
00:26This is all dead cells.
00:27Don't carry this arm to the temple.
00:29This is dead cells.
00:30Is the hair alive?
00:31Do you feel pain when your hair is cut?
00:33This is dead cells.
00:34Don't carry this to the temple.
00:35Mucus.
00:36Everybody is carrying mucus here.
00:38Saliva.
00:38All that is dead cells.
00:40Yes, obviously if you spit there, then it's a hygiene issue.
00:43I understand.
00:44But the woman is not dropping her blood there.
00:48And even if it is dropped, that would be at most a hygiene issue.
00:52Not a moral issue.
00:54The problem again is,
00:56some of those veteran members are women.
01:00That's the real problem.
01:02And the rot runs very deep.
01:04Women have internalized their own subjugation.
01:08They don't just internalize it.
01:10They glorify it.
01:11Women have internalized their own subjugation.
01:15Women have internalized their own subjugation.
01:18Women have internalized their own subjugation.
