ARGUING MYSOGYNY MISSES THE POINT

Devotee comment:
Misogyny (/mɪˈsɒdʒɪni/) is the hatred or dislike of women or girls. Misogyny can be manifested in numerous ways, including sexual discrimination, belittling of women, violence against women, and sexual objectification of women. Misogyny can be found occasionally within ancient texts relating to various mythologies. In addition, various influential Western philosophers have been described as misogynistic. In 2012 the Macquarie Dictionary (which documents Australian English and New Zealand English) expanded the definition to include not only hatred of women but also "entrenched prejudices against women".
Meena Devi Dasi:
This is not a feminist movement. If someone has issues
about "men vs women" they are in the wrong movement.
No matter which "side " they are on. They need to get over it,
chant Hare Krishna and start meditating on Krishna,
His pastimes, His form, His mission.
Arguing from a "mundane" position of identification with the body
"either male or female"
means the person has entirely missed the point.
