Niti Shastra has so many female put downs

[Guest guest]

Yes, my best friend has (only) a daughter, but he is every bit as happy as I am

with (only) a son. In essence man and woman are equals. Even Bible says God made

woman from Man's " better half. "

 

The Niti Shastra has so many " put downs " against women it almost sounds like the

Koran. I gave Chanakya Niti Shastra to my sisters and they all said he was male

chauvanist (spell?). From what I see it is the " men " who make all the wars and

trouble.
