FATHER, HEAD OF FAMILY

Where is the model of the strong male figure? Father, head of family.

Rakesh Sharma (I am using my cell typing this while waiting at a store, so please forgive any errors) Strong male figure, father, head of family? They were all killed by feminism which started with women working. If you look at our social history in the U.S., you will see that because of WW II, when there was a shortage of manpower, women were recruited to work in 1940's. Thus you started having families with mothers spending their energy and devotion outside the home. That resulted in children having less love and attention. Roughly 20 years later that generation of children produced hippies in the 1960's with drugs, sexual promiscuity, etc. That generation in turn produced children getting even less attention and increase in sense gratification. Roughly 20 years later in the 1980's because increased sense gratification leads to frustration and does not satisfy anyone, you started having increased prominence of homosexuality, along with advent of diseases such as HIV. Now we are having family institution almost nonexistent, gender confusion, scores of young adults in big cities that are like thugs and hoodlums. Basically we are having a predominance of unwanted population. 

 
What does the Gita say in the very first chapter? Adharmabhibhavat Krsna, pradushyanti Kula striyah, strishu dushtasu varshneya, jayate VARNA SANKARAH (UNWANTED POPULATION), from the corruption of women comes unwanted population.
Srila Prabhupada had the 'balls' to say things like this even to Westerners, in person and in his purports.

 

Meena Devi Dasi Yes. I see what you are saying. Excellent observations. Actually there was an active campaign to get women out of the home and away from the children. The women were seen as an economic resource once they entered the work force full time. And the children could then be more easily indoctrinated in the public education system. 

 

I was a "victim" of that for sure. They called it the generation gap in the 60's. It was like living in two different worlds. The world at school and the world at home. The world at home didn't match at all what I was exposed to in the schools. Srila Prabhupada called these schools slaughterhouses. It only takes a generation or two to completely derail society.
