Women and Enlightenment

Because women were discouraged from scholarly pursuits and religious dedication that involved them giving up their procreative abilities, while men were encouraged to do the same?

> ''Ananda, if women had not renounced their household lives and ordained in the religion of the Tathagata, the holy life would have lasted long, the core teaching of Buddhism would have remained for a thousand years. Because the ordination of women has occurred in this religion of the Tathagata, the holy life will not last long; the True Dharma will last for only 500 years. Ananda, in whatever religion women are ordained, that religion will not last long. As families that have more women than men are easily destroyed by robbers, as a plentiful rice-field once infested by rice worms will not long remain, as a sugarcane field invaded by red rust will not long remain, even so the True Dharma will not last long. Ananda, as a man builds a large surrounding dike to prevent the flow of water, I prescribe the Eight Heavy Duties for the nuns to adhere to for the rest of their lives without fail.
Buddhist Pali Canon, Vin. II, 256
>With the preponderance of vice, O Krishna, the women of the family become immoral; and from the immorality of women, O descendent of Vrishni, unwanted progeny are born.
Bhagavad Gita 1:41
>Of the men who came into the world, those who were cowards or led unrighteous lives may with reason be supposed to have changed into the nature of women in the second generation.
Plato, Timaeus
>But I will give men as the price for fire an evil thing in which they may all be glad of heart while they embrace their own destruction.'...
>And he called this woman Pandora
Hesiod, Works and Days, II, 54-82

Really makes you think.

> Why does it seem that less women achieve enlightenment than men?
Because men are more deluded enough to thing that they achieved something. It is well known in psychiatry that mental health isn't men strongest point.

There's no need for women to be successful in academia. They only need to be beautiful to get everything they want. There's no incentive.

Bullshit. They are just corrupted ex-KGB members, all actuals pedophiles are still in there.

No they're pedophiles

How many people would you count as having ever reached enlightenment?

>114. Simon Peter said to them, "Make Mary leave us, for females don't deserve life."

>Jesus said, "Look, I will guide her to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every female who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of Heaven."
(Gnostic) Gospel of Thomas.

Food for thought.

It's lucky OP picked something made up for women to be bad at. That way nobody can argue with this make pretend.
