Be thankful you're not a woman in India

In India menstruating women are considered impure. They are often excluded from social and religious events, denied entry into temples and shrines and kept out of kitchens. In one college, they have to sit away from others during meals, they have to clean their own dishes, and in the classroom, they are expected to sit on the last bench. Further, the college pulled them out of classrooms and took them to the toilet, where they were asked to individually remove their clothes for inspection.

A few years ago in another school 70 students were stripped naked after blood was found on a bathroom door.
