Very well. What are "the highest possibilities" for women?

God created male and female throughout the higher species, at the crest of
which are homo sapiens, you, me and others. This biological assignment of
male and female, each have a definite role play in the society. While the
equality or men and women is perfectly all right till the end of time, what
is the biological role of women in this society? They bear chilren, nurse
them and mold the character and personality of the offspring during their
formative phase. You can see that throughout the rest of God's creation. It
is only in our species that females abandon and forsake those duties and
pursue other ambitions. I do not subscribe to that kind of "high
possibilities."

Those "high possibilities" which Abdul Baha cites are in the motherhood.
Men, who desire to "achieve their greatness which is theirs," should also
realise the prime responsibility of women, The Mother, and liberate her from
every other diversion that interferes with her natural biological aim of
"attaining her highest possibilities." It is a mortal sin for a man to kick
the woman out of the house to go and earn money to pay for his mortgage,
sports car and what ever!

HUMAN RIGHTS?! That is a counterfeit commodity of yet another non-existent
commodity. There is no mention of 'RIGHTS' in the quote you have cited.
There are no rights, my dear friend! Forget it. There are only duties and
duties and duties. In order to carry out those duties there are certain
essential privileges, which everyone mixes up with rights. Privileges also
have to be earned - and maintained - through performing ones duties
conscientiously and efficiently.

Even animals, supposedly by instinct, perform their duties befoer earning
their privileges even to eat. What is wrong with this human species which
talks and yaks so much about rights of various sorts while neglecting their
duties?

Now, excuse me. I must go and liberate my woman, so that she may go and
attain "highest possibilities." :-)
