Temples of bias

For how long shall women be discriminated against in the name of tradition The rule disallowing women from entering temple sanctums was conceived in a society where women were considered inferior to men. But today, when women are breaking all barriers, whether in careers or education, this temple entry restriction becomes untenable. Religion is the last bastion that needs to be conquered to end the subjugation of women by patriarchy. Temples should allow women of all age groups to enter
