Oh no! My intention was not to be pessimistic or to say God is truly biased. Of course not. I like to think we are all perfectly equal in God’s eyes. 🙂 My question was more of a questioning of our own assumptions. We cannot use such assumptions as an excuse not to progress. I do think it’s important as women to understand how our emotions instincts and nurturing tendency can keep us bound fast to the material world. As you say it’s an additional challenge we have to overcome and the first step in doing so is to become aware of what holds us back.
Many great devotees were women and achieved self realization. So can we.
As for being conservative..I agree religion tends to be. But if we go beyond religion and ritual to the actual essence then there is nothing more liberal or freeing than the concept that we are all one brilliant consciousness that is eternal, immortal and infinitely blissful.

Incidentally, I was also thinking lately, is God conservative or liberal? (not in political terms). So much of religion and also spiritual paths seems so conservative. So does that make God conservative…?
