00:00 It's taken as some kind of divine rule.
00:02 The woman has to leave her house and go to some other place.
00:05 There is nothing divine in this.
00:07 This is just social custom and economics.
00:09 You have no obligation to follow any customs whatsoever.
00:14 Your only obligation is your own liberation.
00:16 You might have the body of a woman, but your consciousness is of a human being.
00:21 You are fundamentally just consciousness and therefore your sole purpose in life is your
00:25 liberation.
00:26 You do not exist to appease a man or to produce kids or to carry the mantle of social custom.
00:32 I really sometimes feel very angry at what women have done to themselves and all the
00:37 things that they needlessly accept.
00:39 Why allow herself to be a hostage to the past, blind traditions, forces of economics, especially
00:45 today when she herself is educated, when she earns, she knows, she has knowledge, awareness,
00:51 power, legal protection.
00:53 Why does she need to allow her life to be destroyed?
00:56 All that is quite unfathomable.
