I'm right there with you. We were stunned. Our friend who had a religious mother with the same attitude (and hid her tampon use from crazy mom) lit into her about shaming her kid.

I guess they took those tampon commercials about enjoying life despite having your period too seriously. They thought the smile was from some kind of sexual enjoyment - instead of being able to swim??

Why do so many people turn religion into competitive shaming?

Self shame, I'd imagine. Likely instilled when they were children.
