GROSSLY & NEGLIGENTLY SUPER-SEXIST “FREEWHEELING BHAGAVAD GITA AS IT IS NOT” BY HAYAGRIVA and GROSSLY & NEGLIGENTLY SUPER-SEXIST “FREEWHEELING BHAGAVAD GITA AS IT IS NOT” BY JAYADVAITA”, chapter 3, verse 33. “NEGLIGENTLY”, means that they are so culturally conditioned and so thickheaded ( in a different context, Srila Prabhupada once used the word “meathead”) that they don’t even realise the potential evil for the fair sex that their choices may bring about. The case with “cattle” in BGAII 18.44 was exactly the same. In other words, instead of getting protection, the chances for the weaker to get hammered in Krishna consciousness ISKCON STYLE is just unacceptably high. Of course, the assembled leadership of ISKCON is to be blamed for this sad and dangerous state of affairs.

ONE. In OT BGAII 3.33 Srila Prabhupada indicates:

“Even a learned person acts according to the modes acquired from material nature, and everyone follows his/her own nature. What can artificial suppression accomplish?”

TWO. “Freewheeling Bhagavad Gita As It Is NOT” 3.33 by Hayagriva:

“Even a man of knowledge acts according to his own nature, for everyone follows his nature. What can repression accomplish?

And THREE. “Freewheeling Bhagavad Gita As It Is NOT” 3.33 by Jayadvaita:

“Even a man of knowledge acts according to his own nature, for everyone follows the nature he has acquired from the three modes. What can repression accomplish?”

Srila Prabhupada definitely uses the word person and we ought to stick to “person.” “Man” cannot be a substituted for “person.” According to Srila Prabhupada the male population is inferior to the female population. So by substituting “man” to “person” you are passing from 100 of the population to perhaps 49 or 48 % of the population, and that’s a huge and unacceptable drop.

Besides that both gender, ladies as well as men, are equally under the influence of the modes of material nature and helplessly obey their dictation.

But much more gravely, by substituting “man” to “person”, we are assuming and publicly stating that women lack the intelligence to become learned and that’s a grave, unforgivable and intolerable affront to the fair sex, which will ultimately lead to exploitation and all sorts of other abuses.

And what about BGAII 10.34?
