This truism today has constantly been used in the advertisements as a foundation for the idea that practices linked to menstruation were brought forth as a means of political control over women in patriarchal societies. Many feminists posit that as a result of fear of women by men and the weak ties among men, they have imposed such taboos upon women to retain political dominance in the society. They conclude that such taboos are ludicrous and are elements of oppression among women in male-dominated ethnic groups. Some practices such as isolating women who are undergoing menstruation in some cultures are viewed as a mechanism used to reduce the status of women to that of the male folk. This is because men are seen to be of a pure state and women as not worth participating in societal events.

However, as seen in the works of Buckley, an anthropologist. Yurok women associate this isolation with freedom from mundane tasks, freedom from sexual distractions, and as an opportunity to meditate and discover their purpose in life as well as attaining spiritual energy. Menstrual pollution may serve more to separate the two worlds of men and women more than they do to oppress women. This is because. women viewed themselves powerful and pure at the time to attract wealth and healing rather than feeling oppressed while the men saw them as a threat to their wealth and not as a way of oppressing them. As such, it was a good way for women to find their energy and be useful to society (Buckley et al 112).

Davis Floyd describes birth in the United States as a paradigm she labeled “the technocratic model” since it is practiced under a set of beliefs. The process of birth in contemporary American society includes an initiatory rite of passage for mothers. This rite of passage can be defined as a ritual that is symbolic.
