Why would God have women feel pain during menstration?

I know eating the fruit ... pain during childbirth....

but why during menstration?

Update:

BTW I take a shot every 3 months (birth control) and have not menstrated for almost 2 years. I'm just saying WHY for those who experience pain.

    Have you read the Bible?

    Well, OK, I haven't, but what I have read . . . . women aren't exactly equal.

    Poor Lilith. Tried to be all about being equal, and Adam told God, "Get rid of her. She's a b*tch."

    And then . . . . we get Eve the Scapegoat.

    Why did God make mosquitos?

    Actually, birth control pills can make menstrual pain, even severe pain, disappear.

    If I were to ask the question, I'd wonder what evolutionary advantage there is to having pain during menstruation. Not one that I can think of off the bat. Then I'd ask if it was present in mammals other than humans. Back pain is thought to be the result of humans evolving to stand upright, and that happening rather rapidly in evolutionary terms. In other words, I'd like to know what science has to say about the subject.

    No, pain in birth is not just for humans, although animals do have an easier time of it. I think Eve wasn't (or women weren't) picked out of all creation to experience pain in birth. I don't think it was a particular punishment for what she did, but meant that because sin was in the world, there would also be pain and sickness. I don't think that whole passage is really all negative. It's often used as a "curse" on women for disobedience, but it's just how things are in a world where we experience pain. Women do have pain in childbirth, but we desire our husbands and want children. It's really a wonderful thing.

    It's their punishment for Eve eating the apple. If it wasn't for Eve, women wouldn't have any pain at all!

    However God did bless some women, by sparing them pain during their menses. Other women experience a lot of pain, but it doesn't mean God doesn't like these women, it just means he's putting them through more of a test to see whether they'll still love him or not.

    Hope it helps!

    Because the lining is tearing away from the uterus.

    The curse from the fruit was not having pain during childbirth, but "greatly increasing the pain". Sorry. Those are extreme physical things needed to have babies. It will hurt some. Even when the curse is removed in the new system.

    Same thing when people fall or hurt themselves. There will still be pain, just nothing incurable or permanent in injury.

    Because when she got here on earth she was of age for that, it happened and she forgot to ask what to do from her Lord.

    That was a very big problem because she was to ask the Lord about everything she had to do in this new place. She met up with Adam 40 years later and said what is this blood, he said I don't know. Let me ask God and God revealed to them at that time, she commited yet another sin, but not asking him first and for that she gets all that pain but mercy to forget it also.

    God must love me. I don't have much pain during PMS or menstration.

    Eve got off pretty light compared to Adam. Eve was at fault for eating the fruit, but the Bible only talks about Adam's sin, not Eve's. Adam got the bad name, because he was responsible.

    All pain stems to Adam and Eve. That can be mensturation, child bearing, illness, and all kinds of other pain. Had they not originated the original sin this world would have been different. It is all ingrained in the original sin....
