Don't mind my saying this but you have said this many times. That according

to Srila Prabhupada men started the feminist movement. Please provide proof

of this statement. So far I have found zero proof that Srila Prabhupada said

men started the feminist movement (at that time it was called Women's

Liberation and Women's Lib, the word feminism is not found on the VedaBase).

 

All that can be concluded statements Srila Prabhupada made is that some men

have taken advantage of women by using their own movement against them. Many

of the leaders of the feminist movement were in fact lesbians (and still

are) and they used feminism as a way of sexually exploiting women (and still

do). I posted a link some time ago as to how modern "Wymyns Studies"

programs are dominated by dykes who see their students as fair game for

thier lust.

 

In any case you seem to be fixated on the point that men have actually

dreamt up and started the whole enterprize of feminism (which is totaly

denied by feminists according to their own history) based on the idea that

Srila Prabhupada said this. And from this position you get into the blame

game.

 

Please be kind on us and prove your assertion by provinding some quotation

from any of Srila Prabhupada's writings or lectures which clearly

demonstrate your assertion. This is the Vedic standard, that one provides a

basis for his declations by giving some acceptable pramana.

 

Without pramana to support us we get caught up in unlimited speculations

which lead no where.

 

It could very well be that you perhaps remembered SP's statements

incorrectly or perhaps put a spin on a vague memory which when the original

statements are examined just doesn't stand up any more. Because I tell you

when I looked at the 13+ hits generated by the VedaBase for the phrase

"Women's Liberation" I didn't get the sense that Srila Prabhupada was saying

that (some) men started Women's Liberation but merely turned it around on

the women. They were like clever lawyers who find loop holes in the laws.

 

 

Yours in the service of my eternal spiritual master Srila Prabhupada.
