Acharya Prashant addresses the question of why physical differences between men and women are often ignored in the pursuit of equality. He explains that the reasons are primarily historical. In the past, these differences were exaggerated to create a false conclusion that one gender is superior to the other. The acknowledgment of differences became an acknowledgment of superiority, leading to a game of domination and exploitation. To counteract this, it became necessary to emphasize the equality aspect of the two genders, which is why there is so much emphasis on equality today. However, he cautions that just as differences were exaggerated in the past, it is possible that the equality aspect is being exaggerated now. Any exaggeration is a denial of fact and is not helpful or truthful. The speaker then discusses the observation that women sometimes communicate indirectly, saying one thing but meaning another, or using hints rather than direct requests. He clarifies that this behavior is not exclusive to women but is a symptom of insecurity and fear. When a person is insecure, they cannot be upfront and may use ambiguous language as a safety mechanism, allowing them to deny their original intent if faced with ridicule. This is a characteristic of the human mind in situations of fear and uncertainty, not specific to a gender. He notes that while biology plays a role, it is not the sole determinant of a person's behavior. History, technology, and societal conditioning are also significant factors. The differences we observe are often amplified by history and the conditioning given to individuals. Therefore, such behaviors are symptoms of a deeper issue, not just a result of biology.
