Pariprashnena — Q&A Archive

I think the only issue that a man has to confront is an issue of women...if you do not have it you will not think yourself a man.

I however protest the suggestion that all women in ISKCON share one set of problems. Just as some men may share some and more then often have individual problems, that are person or soul specific. In fact the number of problems and blessings shared by man and woman bodied souls is greater then any specific to gender problems.

But to the point of your question. I guess the only problem that is common among man bodied devotees is that they never wonder what it is like to be a woman in the movement... that seems to be a common theme.

Absolutely. Everyone is an individual. That may be why some women object to blanket statements such as the "less intelligent", one and others that tend to round up women into a herd.

4 they MUST BE LESS INTELLIGENT (not just women now dont 4get also so-called men they are misquoting "Generally less-intelligent" is what Srila Prubhupada said in as far as Im concerned he was rating intelligence in accord to the level of penance/austerity Hare Krsna
