Menstrual Masking is a new challenge making the rounds on social media, but is it a good idea? For those wondering what exactly this masking is, it’s the practice of taking one’s menstrual fluid and using it as a face mask. The idea is to make your skin softer and more brilliant. This newest fad is finding certain popularity with some of the more radical females despite its certain “ick” factor. Therefore, it must be clearly stated that menstruation is normal and not inherently vulgar, except for certain juvenile attitudes.

This surprising tendency is attracting more and more web surfers. Menstrual masking is a homemade beauty mask that is reported to be good for your skin.

Every week there are numerous challenges that pollute social media. Surfers are in love with them, except that many challenges are not always the wisest thing to do. In fact, many of them can be dangerous to your health. Menstrual Masking is proof that fun does not necessarily mean it’s based on common sense. Needless to say, this newest trend has already gained 3.5 million views.

Luminous and softer skin is the goal.

To justify the benefits of menstrual masking, (whose hashtag #periodbloodfacemask is repeated all over social media) Internet users explain that period blood has stem cells and all the nutrients that a baby needs. Certainly, if it’s good for a baby, then it’s good for your body too.

A homemade mask, therefore, has many benefits, states several adherents of the “menstrual masking changed my skin” movement. One female claims that her skin became visibly more luminous, her very first time applying her period blood to her face.

This homemade treatment is also seen as a way for fans of this challenge to reclaim their femininity. Several users have said that “It is no longer necessary to be ashamed of our blood” or even “there is nothing disgusting in using it.” It’s a very sanguine form of female empowerment!

Contaminated blood can provoke skin problems.

“The uterus is a relatively sterile environment however, the blood from menstruation is not. It contains cellular debris, mucus, dead blood cells, bacteria, and other microbes which it has collected on its passage through your genital tract. Even the blood itself is an inflammatory compound, especially your white blood cells which will irritate your skin and can provoke rashing,” warned, in a video addressing this trend, Dr. Karan Rajan, a British doctor, and surgeon.

Despite the perceived benefits of menstrual masking, coating your face in period blood probably isn’t a very smart thing to do.

Dr. Rajan also made it clear that “menstrual blood does NOT contain stem cells” as it’s being promoted. Only a fertilized egg or fetus has stem cells, so for the statement to be true, the “menstrual discharge” would actually have to be a miscarriage.

In the end, blood can be easily contaminated by microbes such as viruses or bacteria and this can lead to an infection.

Medieval society was divided into three different groups of people, – those who pray, such as priests and monks; those who work, like carpenters; and those who fight, like mercenaries, soldiers and knights. This concept of society organizing itself into three orders is not something you find in the Bible, or for that matter, in any classical sources. The closest iteration of this concept comes from a seventh-century encyclopedia writer named, Isidore of Seville, who referenced that the Romans had divided themselves into three groups: senators, soldiers and plebeians. .

To use the vernacular, we live in a severely fucked up world. Never before in all of human history has so many people been lifted out of poverty and suffering. Yet, ironically, there has never been more mental illness, stress and anger, as we have today. It’s as if human beings can’t be happy unless we’re fighting against something. The more comforts and luxuries we possess, the more we blame others for the imperfections of life and empower megalomaniacs to fix them. In doing so, we’re turning our species into animals. Once again there are again 3 different groups of people, only this time we’re not praying, working or fighting. – We’re just angry and hateful or fearful of what is otherwise a beautiful existence.

Predator, Prey or Livestock

Predators in the wild are easy to describe. In the different groups of people, these individuals are like wolves who hunt weaker animals for their for sustenance. Highly intelligent, curios and ruthless opportunists. They go for easy kills, focusing on the very old, the young and the weak. Human predators use the same strategies and stalk people that are easy to manipulate. Most often they’re psychopaths such as many CEOs of banks and large corporations, heads of state and also serial killers. It’s their lack of empathy, that leads many of them to believe that they’re somehow superior or even a different species than other human beings.

In America, many of our politicians are 75 years old or older and yet they continue to pursue prestige, money and power. They’re near the end of their live expectancy, they have reached the pinnacle of wealth, power and influence, and yet they refuse to step away from their dogmas, let someone else take charge. There is so much this world has to offer, so much to see, to learn, to experience and enjoy, these individuals have the means to do anything or go anywhere. But like Midas, being granted a wish, their insatiable greed gets the better of them. It can only be speculated that this is some sort of bizarre combination of narcissism and megalomania. Or, at the very least, it’s sanctimonious arrogance that borders on having a god complex. However, from a pragmatic perspective, these people are not the most dangerous category among the different groups of people.

Prey are the meal that wolves depend on. An animal example is elk, who are instinctively aware that they’re hunted. At the first hint of possible trouble they run and when cornered, they can even stand their ground and assail a predator with hard sharp edge hooves. The point is that they don’t make killing them easy and at no time do they trust trust those that want to devour them.

The Prey of society is perhaps the smallest and rarest are the people. Those who distance themselves. The easiest to identify are the preppers and off-griders. These people are often branded as crazies and anti-social, but as the world continues its downward spiral, there is a growing interest in their lifestyles. Even pursing homesteading and tiny house living are becoming attractive alternatives to mainstream society. In France, there are large numbers of people that have chosen to live in yurts to escape the oppressive French bureaucracy.

The sad truth.

Most people almost never see themselves as prey, liking to believe that on some level they’re proud predators. But, the truth is that most people are neither predator nor prey. In the 3 different groups of people, they belong to the category of barnyard animal. The food and comfort has been made plentiful to the point that people are dying from malnutrition, while simultaneously being morbidly obese. Like pigs in a pen, huge swaths of civilization gorge themselves on food, made to fatten and calm them, while doing little or no physical activity.

They go from air conditioned homes, to air conditioned cars and into air conditioned buildings. Their jobs are manufacturers of meaningless garbage that no one truly needs, such as social media moderators. The number of people who are still doing any hard physical labor is shrinking and as it does, perhaps at some point it’ll become obvious that most people are just fattened livestock who are destined, in some form, to be served on a dinner plate. In the meantime like cows being milked or chickens laying eggs, these unhealthy hoards keep the economy booming with their dependency on the medical community and pharmaceuticals to get through each day.

Farmers are the most extreme apex predators in existence. They have found a way to remove the need to hunt for their meat and instead literally raise animals for the purpose of eating them. When looking at different groups of people, 90% of humanity most probably falls into this category of livestock. They have all the fear instincts of herd animals, but instead of running or facing the predator, they look towards them for protection and comfort. When someone in their barn disappears, almost all of them simply go back to eating and praising the farmer for his kindness. Of all the different groups of people, these are the most dangerous, because they will do anything to protect their blissfully ignorant lifestyle. – Never trust anyone who lives comfortable and always smiles.

Neither Optimist nor Pessimist

Pragmatism doesn’t see a glass of water in terms of half-full (optimism) or half-empty (pessimism.) It simply says that there is half a glass of water. For the pragmatist, the situation is the situation and when a problem arises, they implement solutions without concern to how they’ll be viewed, either positive or negative. Like fighter pilots engaged in a dog fight, their forte is situational awareness and in the different groups of people, it’s the one quality shared by both predator and prey. The problem is far too many people make the choice to be livestock because it’s easier than having to face life on its terms. There are risks and because life gives no guarantees, many of those risks can be fatal or worse. Therefore, it really comes down to a question of what category in the different groups of people does someone want to be? Predator, prey or livestock?

As a student of psychology and a child of a dysfunctional family, I have long been fascinated by the Nature versus Nurture debate. To the layman, just having the debate suggests that the answer is black and white, but nothing could be further from the truth. What we do know is that there are pivotal developmental stages, which can with the brains natural elasticity form, either a healthy psyche or perverted psychosis. Repeated exposure to things like violence on TV, (in video games, etc) has been proven to numb the viewer to violence in general. And aversion therapy is a tried and true clinical technique to change someone’s cognitive behaviors.

With critical race theory and attacks the patriarchy, war has been declared on the unchangeable biological nature of a portion of the population. What happens on a psychological level to children who are taught day in and out to be apologetic for their existence? How does the physical nature vs nurture of a child rectify that being born white and male, the very act of being assertive is seen as an act of aggression? How do Caucasian boys find their place in the classroom and later society when they are constantly being beaten down? Do they get labeled as troublemakers and keep some sense of personal identity or do they acquiesce and develop more demure, traditionally feminine traits? Or do they end up on their knees begging for forgiveness (in some pseudo-sexual) act of submission while being humiliated by some racist person who is demanding apology for his white privilege?

Could this be conflict by design?

In the nature versus nurture debate, the fact is that a forceful environment can overwrite someone’s biological tendencies. One thing for certain, at least from my perspective, is that the number of effeminate males is growing. They turn to anyone that will listen because something is missing in their lives, something that therapists might not be legally allowed to bring up as an option. Much like in the school system with it’s strictly secular policies, a system that embraces atheist dogma; the medical industry demands that everyone leave God / Allah (swt)/Jehovah out of the equation. Truthfully, they can’t even suggest that something is wrong with a caller’s desire to take the next step in his feminine transition. They can only act as a sounding board. eg. “Yes this is common, no you are not unusual, no you are not strange, etc.” Hopefully something changes soon, or we may find that Islam’s statement that 50 women supported by one man, might have partially started out as impressionable little boys.
