Feminism in Krsna Consciousness
I am the earliest male feminist in the Krishna Movement--I have found so much opposition to this "unusual idea that women are people" that I just keep my mouth shut about it. I knew there were two or three more, in recent times, and it turns out there are quite a few. I think the cure for the disease of wanting to subjugate and lord it over the women is to read "women" for "material nature" when reading Srila Prabhupada's writings--this is The Problem, and it certainly won't be solved by following the Laws of Manu! The Law of Thelema states, "Every man and every woman is a star"--women are as good as we are, and often better.
