Today I learned: Chanakya's views on Women were so regressive it makes me pukish

We should perhaps not give so much importance to a sexist person such as this.

Chanakya's writings often reflect a negative and stereotypical view of women. He described women as inherently deceitful, greedy, and untrustworthy. For instance, in Chanakya Neeti, he stated that speaking falsehoods, starting work without thought, and exhibiting greed and cruelty are inherent traits of women. He also advised men against marrying women who are beautiful but lack intelligence, are rude, or come from a bad family background.

Additionally, Chanakya compared women to potentially dangerous elements such as fire and snakes, suggesting that they could be fatal. He also held the view that women are responsible for domestic disputes and advised against taking their advice

A man without kids is like a tree without root. So picking your wife is probably the most important decision or even a turning point in man's life. These rules set the base line so that a margin of safety is built. It's not a formula that needs to be copied, it's aset of parameters for a person to evaluate.

In my village there is saying, - if you can't identify the snake, consider it poisonous. It's not an insult to the snake, it's just a safeguard for the people

Women are the only reason for domestic disputes lol. Men don't have time for that shit.

You might think it's all sexist but it's actually true for a large percentage of women. They love conditionally, they don't understand unconditional love. That in itself makes them untrustworthy.

If you want to see this for yourself, just ask any woman above 25 if she will date a nice but jobless guy. You will have your answer.

You say that as if a better percentage of men love unconditionally? Do you actually believe that?

Try reading Manu Smrithi and Parashara Smrithi then. You'll see the next level of sadism in there.

Earlier, I had similar thoughts for all historic events as you have.
I would suggest, don't judge history based on today's morality. 500 years ago, If you beat someone in a fight, it was totally acceptable (even appreciated) to kill him, slave his children and take his wife as yours. It is illogical now.

Never use today's lenses to see yesterday. Chanakya's words will mean correct to men at that time, not this time.
