Some religions to this day decree when a female is "unclean" and should be isolated. The problem are people with that mentality.
The same "yuck" factor lies at the root of not thinking rationally about tampons, abortions, childbirth, lactation, etc. Controlling a population's approach to inherent bodily functions, has been an effective way of brainwashing for ages. Stuff like vote of celibacy, vote of silence, vote of reclusion, fasting, and similar. Convincing people to sacrifice for a doctrine, gets them invested and pulls them into a sunken cost fallacy.
I'd call it Evil... but that is going onto their territory, so laughing it off with Weird, is probably a better strategy.
