Guest guest Posted August 4, 2001 Report Share Posted August 4, 2001 there is a question for you as well as all other independent thinkers who care. please forward to anybody who you think may care about this issue and who may help ----- DEAR SEEKERS OF THE TRUTH, I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS EVERY RESPECT FOR YOUR ACTIVITIES AND FOR YOUR DESIRE TO KNOW THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH AND FOR YOUR POSITIVE ATTITUDES. PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE A FEW OF MY LONG-LASTING ISSUES. WHAT SHOULD AN ATTITUDE OF MEN TOWARD WOMEN BE? AND THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARD THEMSELVES,TOO? I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT. I AM ACTUALLY ASKING THOSE WHO HAVE EVER TAKEN THE TIME TO THINK THIS ISSUE OVER,NOT FEMINISTS OR OTHER EMOTIONAL PEOPLE. SRILA PRABHUPADA IN HIS COMMENTS TO THE BHAGAVATA PURANA(S.B.,Cant1) STATES THAT BY THE KALI YUGA,ALL THE PEOPLE HAVE STOOPED AS LOW AS SUDRAS AND WOMEN. I'M NOT A FEMINIST,BUT AT THESE WORDS EVEN MY FEELINGS GOT IRRITATED. CANAKYA PUNDIT SAYS WOMEN ARE EAGER TO COMMIT SIN WITH ANY MAN AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY. ALTHOUGH I PERSONALLY DISAGREE. I KNOW A FEW YOUNG LADIES WHO ARE NOT LIKE C.P.'S PERCEPTION OF THEM. PERHAPS,THE CONDUCT DEPENDS ON ONE'S INDIVIDUAL RELIGIOUSNESS. OR SOME KIND OF INBORN MORALITY,OR PERHAPS ACQUIRED FROM THE PARENTS(IN THIS CASE IT MAY NOT BE STRONG). ANYWAY,WITH ALL MY REVERENCE BEFORE THE DEDICATED HINDU PUNDIT,I AM AGAINST GENERALIZING. BUT LOOK HERE - IN ONE OF HIS INNUMERABLE EPISTLES,THE THIRTEENTH APOSTLE SAYS THAT A WOMAN OUGHT TO BE SILENT (1 Cor.14:34). AND SUFI MYSTICS? DON'T YOU GET A FEELING THAT THEIR WRITINGS WERE COMPOSED FOR MEN SPECIFICALLY? OR CAN IT BE THAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE GENDER ISSUE IN WRITINGS? PLEASE FIND SOME OTHER REFERENCES IF YOU WANT TO AND ANOTHER QUESTION POPPED UP IN MY HEAD A FEW TIMES: WHY ARE MEN PREACHERS, BUT WOMEN ONLY SHARE SOME LIFE EPISODES AT CHRISTIAN CHURCHES OR PLAY SOME ASSISTING ROLES? CAN'T THEY TALK ABOUT SERIOUS THINGS? CAN'T THEY BE CONVINCING? PLEASE EVERYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SAY WHAT THIS WEIRD ATTITUDE TOWARD WOMEN COMES FROM,FEEL FREE TO WRITE TO ME AT <tim73 I WILL BE TRULY GRATEFUL IF YOU CAN CLARIFY MY CONFUSIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, TIM http://profiles./timophey73 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
