Out Damned Spot!
In rural Nepal many families still practice Chhaupadi, a custom that requires all menstruating women to be banished to a small hut or shed for the duration of their period. They are not allowed to interact with or touch any male family members or livestock or enter the family home.
Nepalese men are lucky their women aren’t out in the barn sharpening knives. And pity the lonely fool with a couple of daughters, they all get in sync with mom. Unless it’s World Cup Week.
Yeah, Right, Babe. Sure Thing.
Back in the late 1800s a common argument against giving women the right to vote was that it would allow married men an unfair “extra” vote. As they would surely exercise their influence over their wives to vote alike!
It’s thinking like this that makes me want a word for Male Bimbo.
I’m trying to decide whether Chhaupadi is a good thing or a bad thing. Seriously, it does have some up sides!

I know. All that domestic wifey stuff out the door, no men farting and leaving the seat up, control of your own shed remote…

I think Leo might be the physical prototype, though.
