Well, the poll is now up to two women. They are taking over! :)
In reading the scriptures, there are two kinds of mistakes:
One mistake is to cling to the literal text and miss the inner principles.
The second mistake is to recognize the principles but not apply them to your own mind, so that you waste time and just make them into causes of entanglement.

Sure, some of best friends are female. I worship at the altar of Aphrodite and recite the mantra Aum Yoni, Aum Yoni.
