Yet to the women living with the reality, it is normal. The girls grow up knowing it will happen. It highlights how difficult it is to balance Christian teachings and a developed world outlook against a cultural norm that is so alien to my own experience.<br /> <br />Anon - I Katherine Hetzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558829833528787055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552513237124348566.post-29861613824089527992014-09-06T08:58:34.899+01:002014-09-06T08:58:34.899+01:00Thank you Katherine for high lighting this awful s...Thank you Katherine for high lighting this awful situation that is happening in OUR world. I remember over 50 years ago the first time it happened to me, thank goodness for my Mum and sister, as at that time Dads didn't talk about it. Schools, colleges, and chat amongst our fellow peers didn't really happen like it does today (especially where I live and here whats said)! we have 'Modern Mums and Dads' the majority taking part in there children's health and upbringing. How would our young females cope with the situation Katherine that you have written about. This calls for sustained prayers at the highest level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552513237124348566.post-18994648938989100522014-09-05T21:49:58.352+01:002014-09-05T21:49:58.352+01:00I'm not surprised that you find this a difficu...I'm not surprised that you find this a difficult subject to get your head around. It seems alien in our society that you could be treated like that for something that is both natural and inextricably linked with the miracle of life. My boys ask me about it and I answer them. I cannot imagine living in a place where I would be ostracised every month. Horrible.MandyBnoreply@blogger.com
