"...while feminism and its precursors have brought about valuable changes to the position of women,
feminism not infrequently leads to dogmatic viewpoints being taken up, both between feminists and non-feminists and within both ‘camps’. This can lead to clinging to views’ – holding to particular views with attachment and indignation which Buddhism has always been wary of, although Buddhists have not always managed to avoid it.
...the ideal should always be to assess critically both one’s own existing views and those of others, so as not to be swayed simply by either habitual and/or traditional attitudes or by newly fashionable viewpoints. The bottom line, from a Buddhist perspective, is whether a particular idea, attitude or practice conduces to an increase or decrease – for both men and women – in such qualities as generosity, non-attachment, calm, kindness, compassion, clarity of mind, and awareness of, and insight into, the nature of mental and physical states.
...The aim, then, is true human welfare, judged by criteria that are not regarded as gender-specific.
