However, Tagiri-bime, a god of Munakata-taisha Shrine Okitsunomiya on Oki-no-shima Island, which today keeps nyonin kinsei, is also a female god so that the myth that female gods were jealous and abhorred women might be established differently.
しかし現在でも女人禁制である沖の島の宗像大社沖津宮の祭神、タギリビメも女神であることから、女神は嫉妬ぶかく、女性を忌むという神話も、別に成立していたのかもしれない。
