wow.
the insight book has some outlandish reasoning.
i'm trying to put together a talk for tomorrow night, the number 3 on abhorrent things (insight vol 1, p 17) and the entire first half links abhorrent things to menstruating women through a "possible" derived word that might mean uncleaness.
Greetings, pronomono:
I believe the relevance may be linked to the ancient matriarchies, wherein the female wisdom and medicine and sexuality were supplanted by the patriarchal societies. Goddess worship was essentially wiped out and their practices and beliefs -- which included the use of healing menstrual blood -- were viewed as abhorrent.
Will return later with corroborating refs.

i look at three forums pretty much every day, this one, a knitting/crochet forum and a weight-loss forum.
the weight-loss site has loads of useful apps, but the forum consists of posts by people who are mostly pretty young, self-absorbed and ill-informed except on a narrow range of information, mainly weight-lifting, working out, and starving themselves.. the folks on the knitting/crochet forum are extremely polite, politically correct, and obey rules very carefully.
other than that, there are some seriously creative people with amazing artistic talent that expresses itself in fiber arts.
Good morning, Hortensia:
We got eleven inches of rain (so we won't be burning for the moment), and knit one, purl two is running rampant through my brain, thank you very much.
As politically correct as I can be, which is pretty darn good, your fluffy threads are as stimulating to my little gray cells as they would be to cher Hercule, were he here to comment . . .
Everymore,

That's it, troubled mind! We posted at the same time -- please see above. I'm really torn, given what has happened to me and some friends.
Thank you.

Interesting posts, dear Tal and wasblind! THANKS!
Hope you're better soon, Taleisin -- so sorry about what had happened to you. I had a very bad reaction myself and was off work for a month.
As a matter of fact, I do walk backwards, wasblind!
Best.

Thanks, BOTR:
I'm glad reaction was minimal.
Good Health!
