THE BUDDHIST PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVE ON WOMEN.

Abstract

Women have faced discrimination in various communities throughout history. It should come as no surprise that prejudice against women is a phenomenon that is present in all communities. The vast majority of women have traditionally taken a back seat. If one were to travel back in time to ancient Rome, one would find that the husbands held complete control over their wives lives. Simply put, they were indentured servants. It is based on a unique impairment that women endure as well as religious intolerance. Some forms of social bias are grounded in widely held ideas.
