Antardvipa Prabhu typeth:

 

> According to sastra, women and children are considered blameless.

 

Manu, the Law Giver, has detailed punishment for women offenders. See for

example, Manu Smriti 8.369-371 and 9.231. Hence, I think that your use of

that expression is not quite accurate for we find that in sastras like Manu

Smriti that indeed women do get punished for misbehavior and are responsible

for their bad behavior.

Considering that most of the men mentioned in that article were not even

born or were small children when the 2nd wave of feminism was at its height

(we are presently suffering through the 3rd wave of feminism) and Srila

Prabhupada made those statements I fail to see how they could be the social

engineers behind feminism. These are just ordinary guys not social

engineers.

 

For a look at the motives of why they don't want to marry American women see

and

Could you please demonstrate to us how it is that ALL men are involved in a

social engineering plot to create disposable women (feminists) for easy

enjoyment, and who, growing tired of this, now want traditional wives?

 

Since you are a male I assume that you are also part of this plot, so it

shouldn't be hard to prove. (-:

 

If you are not, then maybe there are other men who are not involved as well.

In which case it would be unfair to make an unproven blanket statement about

the men who are seeking out traditional wives.

 

Could you also please accurately identify the actual culprits (male social

engineers) and demonstrate why they are so?

 

I agree with Srila Prabhupada's statements about the complicity of some but

not all men in this social evil. Whether they hatched the plot or just took

advantage of it would require a deep study of the history of feminism from

it roots in the late 1700s. See:

 

http://womenshistory.about.com/library/weekly/aa082099.htm

 

for historical roots of feminism.

 

While it is difficult to identify the culprits in the karmi world it is not

at all difficult to identify them in ISKCON.
