These are the correct interpretations of Rig Veda 8.33.17 . Vedas call woman as highly intelligent and knowledgeable - Atharva Veda 14/2/31, 14/2/75 and 2/36/1 and Mahabharat 13.39.8
Regarding Manu Smriti 9.94 Acharya Medhatithi explained in his Manu Smriti 9.94 commentary that these statments are simply Artavada and simply mean that one should marry a woman younger than oneself and it should not be taken literally
In Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad 6th Adhyaya, 4th Brahmana, the focus is on conception and birth rituals, which belong to the Karmakanda. . So these things are told within ritualistic context and not general context and is not bound to be followed . Mahabharat prohibits wife beating

Here are the correct interpretations of Rig Veda 8.33.17 . Vedas call woman as highly intelligent and knowledgeable - Atharva Veda 2/36/1 . And I had already clarified on Brihadarayak Upanishad 6/4/7
correct translation of Agni Pur 211.37-43 no slaves are mentioned here . In R.V it is told that woman should have 10 children but does not mean she has to give birth to 10 children . it means to make her capable of giving birth to 10 children that is to increase her fertility
It is written in Atharva Veda 14/2/14 that it is suitable to inseminate a woman who is fertile for the birth of a child . The meaning is that the reproductive capacity of a woman should be healthy . Rig Veda 1/164/32 says producing more children lead to sorrow
He accused from linga purana that it promotes female infaniticide but same linga purana 5.30-33 says that putri [ daughter ] is one who saves from hell . Infanticide is one of the seven biggest sins and prohibitions in Vedic Dharma - Atharva Veda 5/1/6

He accused on Bhagvat Geeta 16.8 - Adi Shankaracharya had explained the meaning of this verse in his bhasya . Here it is talking about those people who believe that the world was born due to Sexual Union of Male and Female
This idiot has attacked BG (3/14) that it is written in it that Yagya causes rain. Whereas in reality in that verse only good deeds have been called Yagya "- (BG 3/14) i.e., good deeds done towards nature lead to pure rain, this is its meaning. Rig Veda describes about watercycle
Next he accused that Earth is flat as per Sanatan Dharma but did not show any exact refrence . Satapatha Brahmana 6/7/1/26 tells that the Earth is Parimandal Spherical

R.V 4.18.13 is talking about extreme situations in which we dont have any food to eat . So in those extreme situtations we can resort to eating anything available like even dogs intestines in order to survive in extreme situations . I have also explained on Atharva Veda 12.5.62
Sanatan Dharma emphasised on the Value of Non Violence towards all living beings - Mahabharat 13.117.37-40 - Ahimsa Parmo Dharma Ahimsa is ultimate truth strength and sacrifice this is what sanatan Dharma teaches

Replacing or abandoning wife is not allowed in Sanatan Dharma because Vedas says that wife and husband should never separate from each other and he should never think of any other woman other than his wife and not belong to any other woman Rig Veda 10.85.42 andAthava7.37.1
Atharva Veda 10.3.20 says that the Birth of a girl child is auspicious and brings fame . Coming to his allegations on Srimad Bhagvatam 8.11.34 . In निघण्टुशास्त्रम् १.१०, Megha (clouds), Giri, Parvat have been referred to as synonyms.
Acharya Devaraja Yajva explained गिरि as clouds in his Nirvachan tika by saying गिरत्युदकं (गिरि+उदकं/water) वर्षितुम् (rain). Further, he explained Indra cutting the wings of parvata as making the clouds to rain (वृष्ट) - मेधैरभिवृष्ट।

Refutation of allegations on srimad bhagvatam 3.20.23
Refutation on Origin of Gold and silver from lord shiva virya . Goswami Giridharlal ji had explained this part as well . by referring to gold and silver, it is being depicted that Bhagavan Shiva is the reason for prosperity of kings and others
Refutation of his allegations on Shiv Mohini leela
Lord Shiva is not a mortal being either - In the शिवस्तुति from श्रीमदभागवद्महापुराण। स्कंद ८। अध्याय ७, Mahadeva is described having the directions as his ears (दिशश्च कर्णो), moon as his mind (सोमो मनो), and the water element as his semen (जलं स्म रेतः) Srimad Bhagvatam 8/7/27
Now he alleges on Brihasapti Mamata from Srimad Bhagvatam . I am quoting the explanation by Vedic Scholar Madhavacharay Shastri in his book Purana Digdarshan on this topic
As per Vedas Brihaspati means mind . The elder brother of Brihaspati [ Mind ] is Soul Atma . Mamata is something which we are attached to . Diraghatma means Delusion . The Word Virya or Semen means might or power
Jeevatma form soul’s wife Mamta’s womb contains delusion form Dirghatma. Brihaspati or Mind wishes to infuse its capacity inside Mamata [Attachment], but as long as the Delusion remains seated in the womb of attachment, the infusion of mental power is entirely difficult."
Because Enlightenment is the mind,Vritti is the result of mutual struggle between Mind [Brihaspati] and Passion [Mamata]. This self-knowledge born because of struggle between these two is called Bharadwaj and is nurtured by Devas. This is the explanation given in Purandigdarshan
claims
Refutation -
Claims made by him on Human sacrifice and Honour killings Well both Mahanirvana Tantra and Yogini Tantra are are not part of Vedic dharma and hence not authentic - Human Sacrifice is prohibited in Vedas - Atharva Veda 10.1.29 and Satapatha 11/4/3/2 prohibits killing woman
Coming to his allegations on Brahma and Saraswati - Brihadaranyak upnishad (1/4/3)clearly tells that Brahma and Saraswati are eternally Husband and wife . In this context of Upanishad, only husband and wife are clearly described and nowhere Father and Daughter is described
Coming to allegation on Rig Veda 10.61.5 and pacvimsa Brahmana 8.2.10 . Acharya Kumarilla Bhatta explained it in his Tantra Vartika 1.3.7 (Pg-No:189) Rig Veda 1.115.2 says that the Sun follows Devi Usha(Dawn) in the same way as a man follows his wife.
Refutation -Pandit Madhavacharya Shastri explained in his Purana Digdarshan Page no 599 about Shiva Mohini story . Here Shiva is understood to be moon . Goddess Mohini is understood be the igneous Earth that existed in the form of fiery vapor . This expresses a scientific story
So the meaning is that on insistence of Lord Shiva in the form of Moon, the आग्नेय वाष्प in the form of Vishnu, on attaining density, assumed the form of Mohini in the form of the Earth.
So, when the Earth became stable and the Earth also got an independent orbit due to the attraction and repulsion of other planets, the Moon started revolving around the Earth, as if Lord Shiva became infatuated with the beauty of the Earth in the form of Mohini.
Yes Vedas are supreme Authority and anything against Vedas is to be rejected like a staw - Mimansa Darshan 1.3.3-4 . Secondly he accuses on Vedic Deities and allegations on them . So I will discuss this next and who are Vedic Deities and why they are not mortal beings .
He alleged on Pacavimsa Brahmana 8.2.10 and Aitreya Brahmana 6.5.27 and Satapatha Brahmana 1.7.4.1 alleging incest and misinterpreting the Prajapati term in Vedas
First of all the Prajapati term used in Vedas and Brahmanas do not denote Brahma . Rather Vedas tell that Prajapati is Sun

Skanda Purana Srimad Bhagvatam contains the same narration where Brahma Sun follows his daughter Usha[ Dawn] and when counted by his sons [Rays of Sun ] Brahma Sun left his body causing Fog in all directions
A thread on Scientific miracles in Vedas and other Vedic Literature
First, let us explore the shape of the Earth as described in the Vedas. The term Parimandal is frequently mentioned in the Brahmanas and Itihasas in reference to the Earth and other celestial bodies. Notably, this term is exclusively used to denote spherical objects.
The Satapatha Brahmana (7/1/1/37 and 6/7/1/26) explicitly describes the Earth as parimandal, meaning spherical in shape.
