MessageHello,
I'm just going to comment on the buddhist related parts- apparently the author doesn't know much.
Article: In Buddhism, women were allowed, eventually, to become mendicant nuns. Nevertheless, there is a story that the Buddha originally opposed this.
Buddhism wasn't in existence at the time of Buddha, and even before Buddha left his body, he was against creating any type of organized movement. He sent his best students to other countries to save the teachings because he knew that after his death what he taught will be twisted and perverted by the human mind. Buddhism as a religion is a part of this perversion.
Article: But when it was pointed out to him that women were able to attain enlightenment and be proficient yogis, he relented, but commented sadly that they would fall upon the Buddhist order like mildew on a field of rice.
This whole comment goes against what Buddha taught again and again: ALL sentient beings are capable to reach the highest states of enlighenment. Buddah taught many women during his traveling around India and some of them became realized later on.
