In tribal society this was a place for women to gather when they were on their period. I think that's a great idea and should be brought back, especially if we could put a lock on it. 
What would the male equivalent be and why? |

There’s still red tent events world wide. They’re more about empowerment and female connection, not punishment... I’m sure someone would happily lock you in a tent lol |

A long time ago (over 25 year) when I was very very d*unk I ate in the red tent!!
Didn’t discover my error until the following day!
Took me ten years before I could tell anyone 
It’s a funny story looking back at it  |

It still happens in some countries. Women are banished to a hut on the outskirts of their village. They have to rely on others to bring them food because they're not allowed to cook and some have died from snake bites and animal attacks.
It's a lovely world we live in.

Yep. When I was on India I wasn't allowed in the temple if I had my period. |

"What is it about periods that scares men so much? Its almost as if they don't understand and think it gives us mystical powers
It sends some women bat shit crazy!"
So because some women display certain behaviours all of them should be avoided? |

Red tents are growing in popularity again and those running them often do a male equivalent too! It's important for all genders to feel they have a safe space where they can feel support without judgement. |

They inspect your fanny and if you have a tampon in you need to whip it out and put it on the fire pit |

Originally red tents were never punitive. They were places where women could gather in order to rest and gather strength by being free of domestic chores. They were a celebration of the divine feminine and thought to increase fertility. |

Most women who go to temple are Hindu anyway so they're respecting their own religion. Although I'm not religious I do respect other people's places of worship so I didn't go. |

Yes they were a place of support, nurture and synchronisation. When women get together regularly, their cycles synchronise and that is when they used to believe women were at their most powerful to bring divine feminine strength to the village, increasing fertility and wellbeing as a whole group.

So we get a week a month off work to bring divine feminine strength to the community. I'm not arguing will we all still get paid? |

It used to be the same after woman gave birth, they couldn't leave the house until they had been "cleansed" by a priest. |

"Google gaokor for the reality of this."
How awful that they have allowed something that started as sacred in the then Matriarchal society to become a punishment under the patriarchal system.
Yes the red tent was always basic, but that was when EVERYTHING was basic, but then the village was a community who took care of its people when they needed it. Now it seems their villages have moved on to more modern (all about me) living but left these poor women behind to suffer just for being female. |

Indeed it is. In my lifetime I've met some batshit crazy single guys who don't even have hormonal influences as a reason, I don't think they're all like it though |
