Hinduism is as misogynistic as Christianity and Islam

Yajnavalkya Upanishad

13. (If an ascetic is convinced that) the supreme God has entered into beings as the individual Self, then he may fully prostrate on the ground before dog, outcaste, cow or donkey.

14. What possibly is charming in a woman who is a doll made of flesh, in a cage of limbs which is moved by machinery and who is a conglomerate of tendons bones and joints ?

15. Are the eyes (of a woman) charming when we look at them after dissection into skin, flesh, blood and tears ? Why then do you get infatuated in vain ?

16. Similarly, Oh sage, is seen of the pearl necklace which shines bright (adoring women) in the onrush of the Ganga water down the shining slopes of the Meru mountain.

17. In cemeteries (situated) in remote places the same breast of a woman is eaten in due course by dogs as if it were a small morsel of food.

18. Having (attractive) tresses and putting on collyrium, women, difficult to touch but pleasing to the eyes are (verily) the flames of the fire of sin and they burn men as though they were straw.

19. Women pleasing and cruel, are the fuel for the hell-fires, that inflame even at a distance and though juicy (loveable) are devoid of moisture (flavour).

20. Silly women are the nets spread by the hunter called Cupid to entangle the bodies of men in the form of birds.

21. Woman is the bait stuck in the fish-hook at the string of evil propensity to catch men in the form of fish that are in the pond of worldly life and that are active in the mud of the mind.

22. Enough of women to me, forever, who are the strong caskets (to preserve) all gems of evil and are the chains of misery.

23. He who has a woman with him has desire for enjoyment; where is the scope for enjoyment to one who is without woman ? Discarding woman is discarding worldly life; one shall be happy after abandoning worldly life.

24. A son unborn worries the (would be) parents for long; when obtained (in the womb) he gives trouble due to miscarriage or the pangs of child-birth.

25. When the boy is born there is the worry of evil planes, illness, etc., and then his propensity to evil ways. When invested with the sacred thread he does not become learned and if he becomes wise he refuses marriage.

26. In youth he takes to adultery, etc., and has (the curse of) poverty when he has a family. There is no end of worry due to a son and if he is rich he (suddenly) may die.

27. The (good) ascetic has no fickleness of hands and feet; he is not unsteady in his eyes and he is not loose with his speech; conquering his senses he becomes one with Brahman.

28. When a person of discrimination sees equality and oneness between an enemy, a prisoner and his own body, where is (the scope for) anger, as towards the limbs of one’s own body ?

29. If you have any anger against a wrong doer, how is it you do not have anger against anger, as it forcibly blocks (the path to) duty, wealth, love and liberation ?

30. My salutation to the anger against anger, which well sets ablaze its substratum and which gives one dispassion and awakens one to one’s faults.

31. Where the people are always asleep the man of self-control is wide awake; where they are vigilant, Oh wise one, the prince among the Yogins, is in deep sleep. Be convinced that there is consciousness here, that (all) this is consciousness alone and is pervaded by consciousness, that you are consciousness and I am consciousness, and all these worlds are of consciousness.

32. Ascetics should accept this, the highest position of being a Paramahamsa. Oh best of sages, there is nothing higher than this.
Thus (ends) the Upanishad.

The seer of the Upanishad is quite right in saying that there is no scope for enjoyment without women and that only by renouncing women one will renounce worldly life which is very true. There is really no scope for enjoyment in life without women no matter what other things in life brings joy to you which are not anything like the joy of a woman.

The Upanishad treats women as evil beings who bring misery to men and advice men to completely avoid them by encouraging men to practice celibacy or Sanyas.

All women Sanyasins must be treated as prostitutes because there is no Sanyas for women in Hinduism.  

I am not saying this, in fact this was said by Srila Prabhupada, the founder of ISCKON who is quite right when viewed from a traditional point of view because there is no Sanyas for women in Hinduism. So all women who have taken up Sanyas must be treated as prostitutes and no respect should be given to them at all.

Shrila Prabhupada comments on Women Sannyasinis: 1.

San Francisco 14th March, 1967 

My Dear Brahmananda, 

...A female is never awarded the order of Sannyasam. Because a female is never considered independent and Sannyasam was never awarded to any female in the past by the great Acharyas like Samkara, Ramanuja, etc. The female Sannyasins are to be immediately understood as pretenders or prostitutes. In India they have organised so many organisations where specially young females are maintained to attract rich women-hunters who pretend to pose as righteous in the society. This is the age of Kali which plunders away spiritual sense of the human being and it is only the Divine Grace of Lord Chaitanya Who can protect us from all these dangerous pitfalls....

Srila Prabhupada is quite right because even Yajnavalkya never awarded Sanyas to females and it is against the Vedic tradition. Given the case that we all know what happens to these women who are sexually abused by false Godmen in their ashrams wasn't the tradition right in denying Sanyas for women?

But some doesn't want to accept this, they want to falsely portray to the whole world that Hinduism is not misogynistic and that it is quite superior in treating women compared to Christianity and Islam. Some are embarrassed to accept these misogynistic elements in Hinduism. Well whatever it is, the fact is that there is no Sanyas for women in Hinduism and all women sanyasins should be immediately treated as prostitutes and Hinduism is indeed misogynistic and there is nothing to be embarrassed about it.

Jain Digambaras reject salvation for women who believe that women are evil and shallow creatures and think that they have received a women body because of their past sins. According to them all women have to be reborn as men to receive salvation.

Therefore the eastern religions are as misogynistic as the Abrahamic ones.
