Christianity, Islam and Judaism all persecuted women and are still doing it today. The bible is written for and by men for control, especially for the control of women. Very few women come out as being good in the bible. Look at what it says about Eve and what happened to her. Mary Madelyn was a prostitute. She may have been turned to stone but what was Lot’s wife’s name? The bible is a sexist load of garbage.

The Scriptures associate menstruation with impurity and uncleanness (Le 12:2; Eze 22:10; 36:17), a form of the Hebrew word relating to it (nid‧dah′) sometimes being rendered “menstrual impurity.” (Le 15:25, 26)
Menstruation is also meant by the phrase “the customary thing with women.”—Ge 31:35.
According to the Mosaic Law, a woman was considered unclean for seven days during normal menstruation. The bed or any other articles upon which the menstruating woman might lie or sit were also rendered unclean. Anyone touching her or items she had made unclean was required to wash his garments and bathe, and that one remained unclean until the evening. If her menstrual impurity came to be upon a man lying down with her (as when, unwittingly, a husband had sexual relations with his wife at the beginning of menstruation), he was rendered unclean for seven days, and the bed upon which he might lie down was considered unclean.
regulations concerning menstruation show Jehovah’s (god)consideration for womankind.
Christian husband, though he is not under the Law (Ro 6:14; Eph 2:11-16), also does well to consider his wife’s cycles and vicissitudes, dwelling with her “according to knowledge” and assigning her honor “as to a weaker vessel, the feminine one.”—1Pe 3:7.
although mentruation in old testament was linked to impurity...it does not mean they are punished......

During the days of Egyptian Civilization when God was considered to be a woman, society did not punish women for being a woman. When men changed God into a man , naturally the religions became male dominant and they lowered the boom on women.

Punished? No, not really. But it was considered unclean. She wasn't allowed to leave the house, and anything she touched had to be washed before anyone else could use it. And of course sexual relations were out of the question.

As I remember the story...Women were not punished for having a period, The period was the punishment for the original sin. (along with pain at childbirth)

Nope. They were supposed to wait until it was over before they were ceremonially clean, but it was just for hygiene in the wilderness. Men weren't punished for having wet dreams, but they were considered dirty till they got a bath at night.

I don't know but if they did that's ridiculous. That'd be like punishing a guy because he grew hair in his pits.

Loosing blood made them unclean and they would have to go through ritualistic cleansing every month.
