Thank you for this perspective!! I’ve never been fond of the idea of non-consensual binding, typically cautioning against it, especially when I see people using it out of a desperation to be loved or receive attention. But seeing you speak of women using it for survival in times where it was possibly the only solution to continue on in life, is eye-opening. The power of blood is a magnificent gift to be used wisely. Knowing that there is the possibility any of my ancestors may have utilized it to continue their/our bloodline adds an entirely new layer of appreciation for what they did to protect our lineage.
