Everyone is sent to hell. The entire point of having this belief is to get believers to do whatever it takes to PREVENT people from getting sent to this hell. So from your outsider point of view, we're sexist as fuck. From our point of view, we're the actual feminists for trying to do something about their suffering rather than just virtue signalling, like cultures that celebrate women that die in childbirth without actually doing what it takes to make sure that doesn't happen.

the idea was perpetrated by women according to the video. whose fault it really is?

@@Tennyson999 Women can be internally misogynistic. It’s still pretty sexist.

I don’t know if it was born from hatred of women, so much as the Japanese concept of “purity” or their hatred of all things yucky or gross. Like it’s hard to stress just how central the concept of purity was to morality in buddhist Japan. They didn’t think in terms of “good” and “evil” but rather in terms of “pure” and “Impure”. Ickiness or uncleanliness was akin to sinfulness. This system of morality clearly did no favours for women but it was so much more than a mere vehicle for sexism. Disease could be a sign of so called impurity too. If you had weeping boils, or a bad skin infection, or any number of unfortunate ailments and conditions that caused you to ooze puss or blood, or make you lose control of your bowels, then you could be considered impure and therefore sinful and likely destined for hell. Basically if it made the average person go “yuck” or made them squeamish then it was inherently amoral.

There is zero point in being angry about this, seeing as all those people are dead.

Well a lot of societies percieved women as someone who should always be pure and clean but blood isn't like that, it symbolizes a lot of horrid things probably like war and death so blood coming out of a woman's hooha is pretty much a culture shock before that's why it's deemed as bad and sin.

Same as aztec, now that i think abt it indigenous cultures were pretty badass when it come to women

Same with Spartan culture. Only men who died in battle and women who died in childbirth were honored with a tombstone on their graves. Even in life, women were treated kind of equal to men. They didn't go to battle, of course, but as kids they were trained the same as boys in order to give birth to strong children later on and participated in athletic games. They had the right to choose their husband and even cheat on him with another man, as long as they have a kid, because Spartan society mostly cared about having soldiers and strong women to provide them with future soldiers.

@@drendraleigh4722 If the message doesn't resonate with people then they wont spread or maintain it.

@@GrimgoreIronhide yeah, that's why I said I think it's 'less' about that, not like not at all, especially when we know people during that time, at least in medieval japan, kinda obsessed over the idea of the suffering of the flesh to the point of romantizisation. If you can't escape it then better enjoy the suffering I guess, lol. I like how people back then accept the morbid nature of mortality but didn't make such a fuzz over it

@@drendraleigh4722 Even in Europe we had this fascination. Women had to have 7+ kids because at least 3 of them would die before the age of 5; if none of them died then that was extremely lucky and unusual. Death was a common occurence like starvation/famine, wars, disease and accidents; the world was a truly horrible and cruel place until only recently and we should be thankful for everything our ancestors sacrificed for us to live the way we do now. Nowadays we are so protected from that harsh reality which causes people to become disillusioned about death, about the realities of the past which caused people to behave the way they did, and then passing judgement on them with modern values, the values those same people fought and died to make a reality, because they won't understand how very different the world was.

@@GrimgoreIronhide I don't think that's true. Beliefs don't necessarily 'flourish' like that. They usually become predominant because a group with authority within a society adopts a certain perspective for whatever reason and spreads it, establishing it as true or valid. In this case, monks had education and more esteem and authority, and males were almost always seen as superior, educated, and having the right to authority in general during the medieval era in the sinosphere. So it makes a lot of sense that what a monk wrote could easily be perpetuated as a truth, and women flocked to this belief because it was safer to look for sort of protection or security rather than to simply not believe just because they didn't like it.

Does this mean Buddhists could believe in the Catholic idea of double effect: basically if you're trying to achieve something good, the bad things that just so happen to happen on the way there don't really matter.

@@jayasuryangoral-maanyan3901 Sry, I couldn't understand your answer very well, but the idea is more like "taking care of a garden full of weeds" instead of just "good things and bad things happen regardless of anything". It takes a more sense of responsibility for buddhism in this case. For example: any action you do can be good, bad or neutral (those without intention) according with karma. Neutral doesn't do a thing, but both good and bad are like seeds that you sow on the ground. If your field is gonna have more weeds than plants it's going to depend of the quantity of each you are seeding, and even so, you can prevent that weed of growing too much if you plant more good plants that shade on them. They will still be there, of course, but at least their growth (consequences) will be greatly dampened. However the same can happen with good actions though. Even so, there are some actions that can lead you straight to hell in your next life even with doing loads of good actions until you die. I remember two of them that are killing a Buddha or an enlightened being, and of course killing your parents. But this one about dying on childbirth probably is something that the chinese and japanese traditions believed back then, considering that Buddhism was yet quite new there and they were mixing it with their own religions and cultures. HOWEVER, and I should have included that in my first comment, the buddhist hells are way different from the catholic ones, cuz your existence in hell is NOT an eternal one. Remember, even falling in hell (or rising to "heaven") is a consequence of karma. And what karma does? It exhausts itself over time. Of course passing several years, in some cases eons, in hell is not the ideal path for a better opportunity for enlightenment, nor your rebirth in heaven is that good too, cuz in this last case you don't even know what is suffering and is too used... as I can say, to a "good life" and won't see that even your existence in heaven is limited too and you r destined for death and rebirth. Beings reborn in hell, though way more difficult, can still be reborn as humans or even celestial beings (there r even stories with that happening) and the opposite is true as well. That's why the very purpose for buddhists is getting out this circle of rebirth, being hell or even heaven it's not worth it if your are going to die and being reborn anyway. It's way better to just leave the board.

As like with any religion many tend to branch a lot, some even to contradict their own doctrines. I mean just look christianity and its three mayor branches (catholicism, protestantism and ortodox), and that´s without counting the other hundreds smaller ones in each side. Not even them agree as something as simple as drinking alcohol is ok or not.

@@nidohime6233 yeah, unfortunately that's true. I mean, there are some advantages of these cultural introductions to the original religions. I mean, I'm usually proud of Buddhism doing that as a sign of being more tolerant, but there are downsides as well
