In Response To: It Is Our Duty To Take Care Of Our Mothers (Ras Marcus)

Yes Baba. I see it same way.
Just because Leviticus or Deutoronomy says something like this does not mean it is 'Rastafari way'.
Abuse is abuse.However, if there is some sort of agreement that is between man and woman where they feel that as a rule it is not best for each to be around each other at this time then is this so wrong?I am not talking about rules in a way that are 'rules to be enforced' but just mutually agreed terms.
As a general thing I think that to consider the influence/presence of a woman in your life as being unclean(to you as a man)because she in her cycle is illogical and really comes from times when men were not really very smart and had little sensitivity.They may have needed to blame a woman for this time of the month. She has PMS(as it is called) and could have more emotional
extremes in the cycle time which irritated men so they say she is unclean/no good for them. Maybe they dont like to be reminded of the feminine regenerative process.I still know of men who speak derogatorily about women on their cycle or the cycle itself.
