When it comes to Periods, the first impression that flashes in the minds of girls and women is that it is an “old-gen stereotypes’ forbidden taboo.” Each generation of women has witnessed stereotypic aggression by either family members or near and dear ones. As it is a known fact that everything in this world has a scientific or a mythical reason. The same is true in the case of Periods and the stereotype behavior. The underlying blog is all about breaking these stereotypes and moving past them. Let’s see what these stereotypes are and do they even mean anything to us?
Myth 1: No entry to Kitchen
Girls experiencing their Periods are often forbidden to enter the Kitchen. But why? The scientific reason is that they should get rest as their body is vulnerable to infections, while the orthodoxy is that entering the Kitchen or touching anything will make the stuff/items/eatables impure, which is actually not the case.
Myth 2: Wash hairs on the third day
Another stereotype followed is washing hair on the third day of the Period, which is said to remove impurities from your body. To be loud and clear, PERIODS ARE NORMAL, and THERE IS NOTHING LIKE IMPURITY IN IT! Periods are just a phase of women’s physical and hormonal body growth, and there is nothing to do with purity as such. Get past it, break this stereotype!
Wrapping Up
These two are common myths you must ignore without stressing about them. Yes, there are many more on the list. It’s highly recommended not to fall for these stereotypes. Proceed ahead with complete confidence and get all you wish for!
Don’t let Periods stop you in any way. It’s just a NORMAL phase of life!
