Why does she need to be protected? <br \/>\n\u2022 We hear \u2018women are generally less intelligent\u2019? How can we make sense of that? <br \/>\n\u2022 Many of the roles and practices proposed for women rely heavily on the assumption and acceptance of marriage and motherhood? Why and what about those that can\u2019t or don\u2019t want to? <br \/>\n\u2022 The modern tendency is to reject traditional rules, especially those that discriminate between people (like varnashrama), assuming them to be inherently unjust. How can we understand the benefit of such separation of roles and avoid throwing the baby out with the bath water? <br \/>\nIf you are pondering over any of these questions and have questions of your own, come join us live! <br \/>\nWatch it here: <a href=\"https:\/\/is.gd\/xlavSj\">https:\/\/is.gd\/xlavSj<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/d407983a86c1843efd4d0a0f24be7fc1\/f097611d3fac50c1-bb\/s1280x1920\/143d8bc4bca43ae0a2a73a88562d1a538f71ef83.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Vedic system appears to have specific roles for men and women, and many times that\u2019s hard to accept or follow in today\u2019s world.
