[QUOTE="Randip Singh, post: 192226, member: 1323"] Sorry but if you can't accept that people are different and men and women are different then I can't debate with you! (euality and diversity) Why aren't women called Singh as well as men? Why give them a different title? Why aren't men called Kaur? Was the 10th Master trying to make women somehow subservient? <<<sounds pretty absurd ehh? ..but that is exactly the argument you make above. There is no instruction for a turban for a woman anywhere. Lets dispel this myth. Now if groups like AKJ want to create they're own Maryada then that is up to them (again equality and diversity) . ....but lets not try and make up Sikh Rehat Maryadad on the hoof. You've just done the classic and taken 2 lines of shabad out of context and totally distorted its meaning.
