@Attiya Thanks for the info. Interesting you say this"The books of knowledge are the best witness to that; the knowledge which has been transmitted by men and the ahaadeeth which have been memorized by men far outnumber those which have come via women. "
Wonder what was the literacy rate of women those days in that region? How free were they to pursue their spiritual interests?
I don't believe any study can prove a man has a perfect mind and women have flaws.
Women are sold many lies and we're born equals and how we're trained and conditioned determine how and where we end up. Will give you an example, my friends' kids, boy & girl are learning martial arts. Her Mom, asked the trainer to go slow on her grand-daughter,as she was a girl, but he didn't and soon she was catching up with her older brother.
@Awida- If a woman can be threatened, same force can be applied to a man too.It jsut means whoever is in that position can't function free of fear
There are quite a fw women who handle both business and family beautifully and I hope Zara does it as well.
IMO, women are elbowed out of spiritual power centers and excluded from decision making across religions for ages. I've not seen a woman Head priest in India yet.
