There is no doubt that men are cruel also. Men are also nonsense

number ones. However, Urvasi is not speaking about the men in her

verses, she is speaking about women since she knows perfectly well the

general nature of the ladies. Now you might disagree with that, but I

doubt that Vyasadeva will include your opinion in his next edition of

the Srimad Bhagavatam. In that case, it behooves the ladies to search

out in their hearts, and see other's actions by careful observation,

how Urvasi is correct. Most likely, because it is stated in the SB,

there are very good reasons for it being there. Certainly, not all

ladies are as bad as the worst example which is described by Urvasi,

and some are quite nice, but that does not negate that almost all

ladies have SOME elements of these bad qualities mentioned by Urvasi,

nor that the ladies should take advice from the SB and make

corrections in their lives.
