 Saani, looks like you have got talent. Pour it with other issues. What I feel is you already know the answers to the questions you are asking us to answer. That will certainly help you move further in your writiings. I don't think women are punished for not fasting on the day of Teej.Of course, this festival, like many other Nepalese festivals, remains as a tradtion. With time, people are modifying it to make more sensible. Now, if you just want to change the world in a day, good luck, but it's no use.  Like Stiffler said, " If you start dissecting each religion, everything it celebrates will have some evil association." I forgot the names exactly, but even with Greek Gods, did not one of the Gods  marry or have children from his own mother ? So what, should we neglect all Greek mythology about Gods. If you begin with  questions like "Why is that only women need to give birth to child ? Why can't men ?" You know the answers.
