"Women are lustful, wasteful, vile, degraded woe bringers"- Buddha

Women are lustful, wasteful, vile, degraded woe bringers".

The sowers of dissension and fell strife!

“The learning found among women forms the conclusion of dharma... one should learn the remaining Dharmas from women and people of all classes"-- Apastamba Dharmasutra 2.29.11 (Hindu)
Buddha declared that women could attain nirvana. While the Hindu thinkers denied the right to education to women of all castes and classes, the Buddhist sangha gave them the freedom to read and write. #Buddhism #WomenInBuddhism #Brahmanism#Ambedkar https://t.co/s4NPNOUHBK

Cut the crap!
Your stupid & dishonest verbal gimmicks notwithstanding, the undeniable fact is that Buddha indeed compared Brahmins to dogs & concluded dogs were better.
Even traditional commentary on the verse says "Buddha comes Dogs to Brahmins, and Dogs come out better" https://t.co/1Aks88MSMX
To begin with, even the name of the Sutta is "Sona Sutta"( Dog sutta).
But this Sutta has nothing to do with Dogs. It is a rant against Brahmins. Dogs feature only when they have to be compared with Brahmins.
And every comparison concludes that Dogs were better than Brahmins
What is this Sutta about?
It is about Buddha's stereotyping and generalisation against Brahmins.
He begins by saying that Brahmins of his time mated with females of all backgrounds. He compares Brahmin sexual mating pattern with that of dogs.
Here Buddha condemns Brahmins of his time for intermarrying with other varnas/communities and compares them with dogs who mate with every breed.
This is not an innocent comparison. Sexual behaviour of dogs is known for its licentiousness and
This is the reason why words like "k*tti", "bit*h" denoting dogs is used as a grave sexual insult.
Although modern Buddhists flaunt egalitarianism now, for the historic Buddha intercaste marriage was a horror that amounted to licentious social behavior resembling dogs.
