Something is very wrong somewhere. The first thing in liberation is: do not be dependent on somebody, at least for your bread, for your basic sustenance. What kind of empowerment is this that happily accepts dependence on somebody else’s money on a date, and also for an entire lifetime? It needs to change.
You have to understand that it is not just about women. Men are as deeply conditioned as women are. The more you will see how deeply conditioned you are, the less surprised you will feel on seeing how deeply conditioned others are.
