Male God, Male Prophet and Male priests - Essential characteristics of Semitic religions who colonized, tortured & plundered India for centuries. Their generations still follow same books.

And yet, a Hindu is the ONLY denomination expected to be apologetic about his ancestors.
At Sabarimala, they say an age restriction is discrimination and yet, marital age for a woman is 18yrs, for men, 21.

They say constitutional gender morality, but yet, ONLY a man can seek divorce on lines of cruelty if his elderly parents are not taken care of by the wife.
When other religions deny a final resting place, promise eternal damnation for breaking covenants, place mere mortals as arbitrators..

This dharma provides equality of outcome - Moksha/Punarjjanma, entirely based on free will/karma with no interference by third party.
And yet, it is on our shoulders that this huge burden of guilt is constantly placed. Brahminical hegemony/patriarchy.. they shout. "Man-made" tyrannical rules, they accuse.

Look at history, children. I dare you to find me a less tyrannical, patriarchal society than us.
Rejecting my rights to have diversity/pluralism WITHIN my faith & then demanding that I adhere to your utopia of multi-culturalism and minority appeasement, is what makes me want to lash out.

You label me intolerant & regressive, I wear them with pride.
