... making women uber-bathe once a month because menstruating women stink.

What the bleepity-bleep is she talking about? Anyone have a clue?

In her quest, under the guise of secular enlightenment, to show an equal-opportunity disdain for people of religion, she is referring to the Jewish Mikvah, which is essentially a ritual bath, and comparing it to stoning adulterers, child sacrifices, and other examples of the "excesses" of religion.

Apparently, she does not possess an excess of ability to discriminate one thing from the next, and would choose to villify and marginalize anyone that isn't as secular and progressive as herself.

That's it??? Good Lord. This Heather creature needs to uber-bathe her mind. Daily.

Jewish women don't "uber-bathe" once a month. They merely bathe. These days they tend to bathe every day, but in a world were non-Jews didn't bathe at all, the monthly bath was tour-de-force of sanitation.

There are all kinds of rules about bathing, not just for women.

In this case, it is one of the few times that modern secular standards (bathing daily) are more stringent that religious ones.

By the way, converts to Judaism also "uber-bathe". Christians "uber-bathe", too. They call it baptism.
