I got the feeling that what Rick was referring to was the idea of women as equals. In my experience, Maharishi always treated the women around him as decoration, or as something you put up on a pedestal and revere, as opposed to actually relating to. I don't know the answer to this question, because I haven't been in touch with the TMO for so long, but among all the scientists invited to speak and lend their caveat to the TMO and help sell its products, has there ever been a woman scientist? Has any woman who is considered a leader in her field ever been invited to speak at TM-sponsored symposia? Has any woman ever been involved in the groups that do the strategic planning with Maharishi? I never saw any.
