Women are only dangerous if you want something from them.... e.g. sex.
That applies to menstruating women too.
Yeah... so they are angry.
The average woman however, has less muscle-mass than the average man, and they tend to revert to alterior combat tactics soley because they often don't have the raw power to deal with things directly.
On the whole, one discovers that when you aren't actually after women for sexual purposes, they aren't any more dangerous than any man... and on average perhaps less-so.
It is a common misconception supported by an overly feminised society.
Of course this has very little to do with the bible, which was made in a non-feminised society.
No... it says to stay away from menstruating women because if you don't, you might get blood on your wang.

We must realize the Bible text was written 2000yrs ago. Pryor to Christianity people were Pagan or worshiped nature.
These people knew many of the truths of creation. The church
wanted control......therefore began teaching that menstruating
woman was unclean........in truth the blood of a woman has
great power...particularly over men which the church did not
want because they sought control of the people even through
government

lol it's a thought!
No, it was because of the "blood" (which we now know is only about a tablespoon). When the laws of Moses were handed down, they were for a group of people with no handwashing abilities, no way to keep clean and free of germs. So the laws had to be harsh on what to do if you come across blood.
Besides, think of how cool that would've been -- every month for a few days you get to go to the edge of camp and just sit down and not do anything lol

No! Menstruating women are seen as unclean. Men are held up as superior in the bible (of course it's questionable!!), but it was considered that they were holier than women anyway. And so to be around an obviously unpure woman would make them unpure also.

Rabbinical literature calls it a CHok L'Yisrael, like all matters of ritual purity. A Chok is a commandment that does not make sense intellectualy. Like when a king says for all his subjects to stand on their heads at noon. SO the phrase means "A Random COmmand to the Jews."
The opposite is mishpat. Mishpat is a command that makes sense - like don't kill.

LOL. No, when God said that to the Jews He was demonstrating to them how holy and perfect He was and how holy and perfect He expected them to be. He didn't want men to be defiled by a woman's menstrual fluid. The law of Leviticus is pretty cumbersome, but fortunately through Christ we don't have to go through a list of "do's" and "don'ts." Christ Himself now makes men holy and perfect if they acknowledge Him as Lord and Savior.

It doesnt say stay totally away from them. It says dont have sex with her during her monthly period. It makes her "ritually" unclean.

"I read somewhere their periods attract bears. Bears can smell the menstruation."
