Puleease!!! That is one big piece of word jugglery. What Bir Krishna

Maharaja said was clear enough:

You read too many things into it. You go off on a tangent and say this

sounds like equal rights, and promptly provide us with Vedabase quotes (as

if we didn't have access to the Vedabase) to try to prove there should be no

equal rights.

 

Meanwhile, the GBC say they will not tolerate preferential treatment given

to male devotees in any form. Period. Equal rights or not - that is another

issue for now - preferential treatment is the issue.
