Nor as a woman would I want to marry an American man...a conclusion shared

by many women I know...

 

This can go on for ages...what's the point of it all? You've got a bee in

your bonnet about the feminist issue, and I can see that over the years that

you've posted text after text after text lambasting the completely

unqualified women of ISKCON or America or women in general (I can't keep

up), but that you've offered no real solution or any positive contribution.

So I'm wondering why this is such an issue for you.

 

"The aim should be to become free from this "ism" and that "ism." One has to

change completely from this "ism" of materialism; then he can become happy.

That is the program of Kåñëa consciousness." (Journey of Self Discovery)

 

You can say you're not promoting feminism, so this doesn't apply to you. But

you're certainly absorbed in it to some degree, so I'm wondering what the

point is of that? It's a symptom of a disease---why not treat the cause? Why

not chase another symptom? There are so many. Why is this one more important

than any other?

 

That's all the questions I have. It's also nearly all the interest I have,

so please don't be surprised if you don't hear from again on this issue.

It's a little tiring after a while...
