Right. So you agree with His Divine Grace about the proper role of women, and about their prospects for spiritual growth?

I will not discuss myself or my preferences in this forum, but I will give you some more information about it.
When Vedic civilization flourished a long time ago, women where protected by society, husband, son, brother, uncle and so on, and to day we have a thing called the Liberated women....but this is a trick by the men to make women more promiscuious, so they can get sex more easily.
Because the men have tricked the women, they are not proctecting them, and these days there is the battered wife syndrome, and women forced to work in the sex industry and women working and keeping child in paid care facility and this list could be very long.
So in Vedic culture women know their place in the home with children, but that doesnt mean forced, because they have freedom to work and have social life if they so desire, but always feel safe in vedic society with the male protection...
In previous Vedic society i would agree and so would the women, that being volunterily dependent to a first class man is acceptable.....but there will always be exceptions to the rule of course.
The women are ruled more by emotions and men are more analytical so the womens intelligence is affected by those emotions.(therefore the less intell comment)
A women who accepts the reality of God is far more intelligent than the biggest atheist scientist.
