Horse manure
by Saikat Biswas on Jul 05, 2006 05:08 PM

Such grotesquely sexist mindset is typical of Hinduism as practised by its devotees. I have always been repelled by the idea that Gods, while being superior to humans in every respect, are nevertheless aroused at the sight of women and should therefore be protected against such defilement. Why not extend the same protection to Hindu goddesses? Or are we to believe that perhaps it is only the 'male' gods who need the protection because they are... well, incontinent?
