Vedantic Feminism || Acharya Prashant
What do you mean by freedom as a woman? Vidant says the body of the woman is her cage just as the body of the man is the man’s cage. If you want to retain the cage and still talk of freedom, it’s not going to happen. So you have to disidentify from your biological self. In Prakriti, the woman’s life is centered around the nest, the eggs, the kids. If you do not exceed your biological self, you will be Ill-fitted to remain exactly as the female species in the jungle remain.
Vidantic feminism would say disown your physical self. You are much beyond that girl, much beyond that. As long as you continue to identify with your body, as long as you relish calling yourself a girl or a woman, there can be no freedom for you. can deter for the man. As long as you say I am the woman, I am the woman, there’s a great problem. Vidant would say equality is a high ideal but liberation is the purpose of life.
