Do you trust other Sikhs?

why would you think that islamic regimes are based on the quranic and 'historical' misogyny whereas if you look at Gurbani and hukamnamey  about how to treat women it is positive - banning cursing, mistreatment, beating/injuring, selling, raping, and killing at any stage of life?

I think if we promoted sikhi values to females all of them would abandon the BS guilt tripping of their previous societies/cultures/religions  for Guru Nanak Dev ji's household. In fact , most of the recent additions to the panth from outside are females on that basis.

What about the impact of evolutionary psychology on females, as sort of subtly and creatively alluded to in CP. I don't think this is going to go away anytime soon. 

As for many apneean, their development seems to be more a consequence of their individual family, caste background (as well as their own personal susceptibility to outside influences) than any dharmic framework.

Sheikh Farid was a muslim and Sant Kabir was from a Hindu family.  

My point is a good person is a good person.  You should recognise that whether they are sikh or not.

Meanwhile, it is a little naive to think that all sikhs are good people.

What an utterly ridiculous thing to say. Women working as hard, if not harder than the men, is not only the single greatest thing that has built the great Sikh diaspora across the globe but is also one of the greatest things that defines us Punjabis through antiquity. When Alexander the Great finally reached Punjab after trekking through Europe and Central Asia he wrote his letter to his mother in Greece. In it, in an attempt to describe Punjab, he said he had never encountered a place such as this place before (Punjab) because in this place (Punjab) the women work outside even harder than the men and and are as armed and ready to fight as the men. 

Know your history young fella. Learn who you are. Otherwise, you'll just be plodding along in life blind.

Can you not see how  this statement of yours appears to be seriously self-contradictory? 

 

Women working the same jobs as men to in the west is another ploy by whitey to create/import classes that compete over jobs, keeping wages down.   It's plain as day in the US.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
