The country dominated by a woman is to be despised. And so to be despised is the being who becomes dominated by the power of a woman. Women are insatiable in respect of two things: sex and motherhood; so insatiable that they cannot free themselves from these cravings before death. Seducers and astute, they destroy the noble life. Women are continually in the power of the senses. Saturated with an impure and inexorable burning, they resemble fire which comsumes all. It is impossible, it cannot be, that a woman should arrive at the full enlightenment of a Buddha, or become a universal sovereign. In one conversation, the Buddha states, Of all the scents that can enslave, none is more lethal than that of a woman. Of all the tastes that can enslave, none is more lethal than that of a woman. Of all the voices that can enslave, none is more lethal than that of a woman. Of all the caresses that can enslave, none is more lethal than that of a woman. The texts repeatedly describe the lustful insatiable women as embodiments of samsara (the cycle of death and rebirths), while that of the monks as embodiments of dhamma (the path of enlightenment). A true monk, for whom “female sexuality is like the flapping wings of a gnat before a mountain” is a vira (hero). Different types of queers (pandakas) are listed who should not be ordained as monks. These include hermaphrodites, transsexuals, eunuchs, cross-dressers, and effeminate gay men. This is done following stories of monks being seduced, or courted, by pandakas, and also because keepers of a nearby elephant stable mocks a monastery because one of its members is a pandaka, who constantly courts them sexually. Female hermaphrodites, women who dress like men, or those of deviant sexuality or simply those who do not look like women and are “man-like” women cannot be ordained as nuns. In Amida Buddhism, a female is regarded as incapable of attaining Buddhahood. Amida Buddhism promises women to be “turned into men” after death so that they can attain enlightenment. “The monks were kind, and I had no problems of sexual harassment or troubles of that sort, but of course, I was unfortunately within a female form. They actually told me they prayed that in my next life I would have a good fortune to be reborn as a male so that I could join in all monastery's activities” page 155 And this means that women will never attain Buddha-state in their female bodies according to traditions. It is impossible that a woman should be the perfect rightfully Enlightened One. It is possible that a man should be the perfect rightfully Enlightened One. It is impossible that a woman should be the Universal Monarch. It is possible that a man should be the Universal Monarch. It is impossible that a woman should be the King of Gods. It is possible that a man should be the King of Gods. It is impossible that a woman should be the King of Death. It is possible that a man should be the King of Death. It is impossible that a woman should be Brahmaa. It is possible that a man should be Brahma.
