        Classic @nytimes Orientalist atrocity porn. What has this to do with menstruation rituals? You'd die from snake bite "isolated" on a hike.

        Menstruation is a period of sacred celebration and yogic purification. Huts are like a "retreat" or "sweat lodge."http://indiafacts.org/hindu-view-menstruation-iii-menstruation-period-rest-sacred-celebration/ …

        The gaze produced by cultural atrocity porn denies agency to natives. Foreign NGOs push court orders, to "one true (Western) way" of living.

        Ever read Anita Diamant's The Red Tent? Women were revered until goddess was deliberately obscured by artificially contrived religions.

        Buy tampons, then they won't leave blood trails and need to be isolated.
