[Buddha-l] Re: Gender on Buddha-l

[Bernie Simon]

The difference between the male and female point of view is the 
difference between the point of view (pov) of the oppressor and the 
oppressed. I think that somewhere in Edward Conze's collection of 
essays, Thirty Years of Buddhist Studies, he writes that while the 
oppressed understands the pov of the oppressor, the reverse is not 
true. The oppressor can't be bothered to think in other terms, sees 
their own pov as the way things are and not a pov at all, and the 
oppressed pov as deviant.
