    Addressing the broader concept that men (and women) are punished for their own sins and not for those of another:  That is absolutely accurate.  But people also frequently suffer for the sins of others--not as a matter of punishment; but as a result of simple cause-and-effect.  (Think of crime victims, or babies born fetally exposed to alcohol or drugs.)

    As to menstruation:  I'm not going there.  :P   But as to the weaknesses of mortality generally:  We certainly are subject to the effects of Adam's fall, even though those effects are not intended as punishments.  

    Ah I like that. It' part of our mortality, not a God-given curse that could have possibly not been imposed. 

  2. As I was talking about the gospel to some friends of mine in a different christian denomination, we somehow got onto the topic of "Eve's curse" and they told me that God punished Eve for partaking of the fruit by making her endure monthly menstruation. Keeping in mind Article of Faith 2, is this compatible with LDS beliefs? What is the LDS stance on the subject? Is it open-theology?

    Edit: I am LDS, just don't know the answer.
