Re: [evola_as_he_is] Query??

By the same token, no one seems to quote this passage from the Laws of Manu either-
 
'5. Status and Duties of Women
 
55. Women must be honoured and adorned by their fathers, brothers, husbands, and brothers-in-law, who desire (their own welfare).
56. Where women are honoured, there the gods are pleased; but where they are not honoured, no sacred rite yields rewards.
57. Where the female relations live in grief, the family soon perishes; but that family where they are not unhappy ever prospers.
58. The houses on which female relations, not being duly honoured, pronounce a curse, perish completely, as if destroyed by magic.'
 
Furthermore - '45. He only is a perfect man who consists (of three persons united), his wife, himself, and his offspring; thus (says the Veda), and learned brahmins propound this maxim likewise, "The husband is declared to be one with the wife'.'
 
(A Sourcebook in Indian Philosophy, Moore & Radhakrishnan, Princeton University Press, 1957).
 
Given that this is from the Laws of Manu, which are Vedic, it can hardly be dismissed as non-Aryan in origin, yet it seems to be curiously absent.
 
I think the key point some people are missing is that Evola seems to be dedicated more to a critique of non-conventional females, as opposed to actual women as a collective group. The above passage from Manu would not have applied to modern feminists though - a woman who adopted a 'male' role lost her rights as a woman in Vedic times, and was in general treated as a man.

of the main Upanishads : "If she does not grant him his desire, he
should buy her (with presents). If she still does not grant him his
desire he should beat her with a stick or his hand ...", as well as
other 'misogynist' parts of the Rig-Veda.



Three heavens there are; two Savitar's, adjacent:
In Yama's world is one, home of heroes.
As on a linch-pin, firm, rest things immortal:
He who hath known it, let him here declare it.

Gentlemen, I am writing of the cuff here, so please forgive me, but I can not help feeling Evola was a queer who vented his disdain for the weaker sex; because...

Needless to apologise. Your thoughts and feelings about Evola are not uninteresting, insofar as they are overloaded with most of the ad hominem attacks which...

The Laws of Manu, in the section afterwards elaborates further on the issue of 'independence' so I am aware what context it is applied in. My point with that...
