Acharya Prashant questions the concept of 'womanhood', suggesting it is a product of social training rather than an innate quality. He posits, "What if you were never trained in womanhood? How would you live? You can't even think, because right now, every bit of you is a trained bit." Using the example of women having long hair, he explains that this idea has percolated so deeply into our instincts that it seems almost genetic. He asks if a girl, left to herself without social intervention, would still prefer long hair, suggesting her preference might be no different from a boy's. This conditioning has led to a stark binary where one can determine gender simply by hair length from behind. The speaker acknowledges that men and women are biologically different, but argues that society has created a "hyper-genderization" and "hyper-sexualization." He states that while biological differences exist, they are minor, but society has "hyper-inflated" them. This exaggeration has turned the woman into a "hyper-woman" and the man into a "hyper-man." The reason for this, he explains, is that greater differences lead to greater attraction, which in turn provides more carnal pleasure and titillation. When a huge difference is created, the other gender becomes a mysterious, unknown entity, as if from another galaxy. Acharya Prashant elaborates that if these differences were not exaggerated, sexuality would be more natural and healthy, rather than being overblown or hyped up. This conditioning has significant consequences, limiting the potential for both men and women. He asserts that a large part of a woman's potential has been "hacked down." If ten possibilities exist for her, eight are eliminated, and the remaining two are magnified, creating the impression that she is meant only for those specific tasks. He concludes by noting that men also feel extremely suffocated in the "cage of the idea of manhood," which "clutches his neck."
