Sorry i have been here on and off and missed your post on the Laws of Manu.
hmm !! Manusmriti or The laws of Dharma as it is called ... I have a fair idea about the text and what it says but not in depth knowledge.
The mention you make about the cause lying in the scriptures ( i use this term for hindu religon collectively ) is true.
And i do not agree with a lot of things esp the oppression of women that we are the lesser beings or the caste system either.
Ray , to all that i read i apply this simple logic . Be it any religion , there is a mention about man having emerged from a supreme being be it as his image or whichever form ( except Jainism and buddhism to my knowldege where we are a soul wandering in samsara ). In which case , why would he want to torture his own creation. And further there is a woman who is the giver of birth in which case she being the giver of life makes her the superior one not worthy of oppression in any case. Thats how i see it.
Well , in todays times not many men value a woman for the essence of being a woman , a loving nurturing and sensual being while not many women represent that either.
