It does sort of look like we have several sexist informants on the list,
Mike. Now that Judy is no longer around, maybe they think they can take
over and move the women to the back. Go figure.

My recollection is that Maharishi's funeral was officially an all-male
event, so it's not surprising that there were no obvious females in
attendance, whether in the company of rajas, or standing by themselves.
Ohhh, I wonder why that was? I was wondering why I didn't see any
women. Maybe one or two snuck in with a beard or hid their womanly
forms underneath the Papal robes. I wonder if anyone did any serious
checking up on this possibility. Do you think women were not
considered worthy of mourning the Maharishi? Were they too busy
preparing the food for the wake? Were they afraid of some hanky panky
during the funeral proceedings? Are women considered equal in the eyes
of the Movement? Did MMY request a male-only funeral? Gosh, so many
questions and so few answers.
Actually there is only one answer. The TMO is fundamentally sexist.
There are no women in positions of power, Marshy thought that you had
a different role to play in the world, one of nurture and support.
Basically, get in the kitchen and don't forget to wear your prettiest
frock when serving dinner.
If you want another reason to loath the TMO watch a video where the
"rajas" all enter a room, and love the giant step back to the stone
age when the wives file in afterwards and dutifully sit behind them.
unless they are on their period, in which case they are to stay in
their rooms and not poison everyone else with their uncleanliness.
They also tried to get women too wear "modest" clothes like
headcoverings at meetings, I see where Buck gets his dislike of us
unbelievers, it reminds him that he's a fully paid up member of the
bliss-bunny Taliban.
