00:00 These are just two genders, not two different species.
00:08 Man and woman, these are just two genders, different genders, not different species.
00:14 So her fundamental identity is exactly the same as that of the man.
00:21 Her fundamental urge is exactly the same and she wants liberation every bit as much as
00:27 the man wants.
00:30 But we do not realize that because the society itself has been historically man dominated
00:37 and man has no interest in looking at the woman as a conscious entity.
00:43 Man would rather look at the woman as a material sexual object to be consumed.
00:52 And very unfortunately the woman too has imbibed this idea.
01:00 This idea comes from the man and it's not that this idea serves the man.
01:06 No.
01:07 This idea has poisoned even the man's consciousness.
01:12 Not that this idea is good for one gender and exploitative towards the other.
01:17 No, this idea has destroyed both the genders and the woman too has embraced this idea of
01:30 her body, her identity, her life.
01:34 It's the mothers that destroy their daughters the most.
01:42 So it's very curious, sometimes you find fathers being liberal and they do not want the daughter
01:57 to develop into the typical woman.
02:03 More liberal and broad minded fathers and it's the mother who wants to confine the daughter
02:11 and turn her into the stereotypical woman.
02:16 So that's the worst thing that can happen.
02:19 The woman herself imbibing a male centric idea of femininity.
02:36 She does not need to develop herself as a toy for the man.
02:47 She is consciousness.
02:51 She deserves to know, learn, explore, experience.
02:56 Learning is the purpose of her life.
02:59 Growth is what she's born for.
03:00 She is not born to give birth.
03:15 She has taken birth for her own growth, not to give birth to five other entities.
03:25 She does not exist to serve the husband or the kids or somebody else.
03:32 Her primary purpose is to serve her own existential internal need and that is for liberation.
03:42 That's what she wants.
03:45 She has to get this body centered image out of her mind.
03:51 She has to stop believing that being a wife and being a mother are very important things.
03:59 Only then can there be liberation for the woman.
04:03 As long as the idea of womanhood is tied to her sexual life, which includes life as a
04:12 mother, there is no hope for the girl, the woman and all that is quite sad.
04:21 Let's change that.
04:24 We have already had enough destruction.
04:27 Let the girls of today put an end to all that crap.
