This is where you misunderstand cultural differences. It was not about
associating less importance to women, but it was about protecting them. I
have already pointed out that while one culture emphasizes on independence
and physical equality, another culture emphasizes on complementary role
sharing and inter-dependence on each other.
One culture goes for self sufficiency (independence from each other), the
other goes for ying-yang (interplaying of the brute power and sophisticated
beauty). If you ask me, ying-yang solution is more natural.
If you look from the other side of the table, then burdening women with the
hardships of men can well be regarded as "ruthlessness" towards women, as I
have explained to fbit.
This side mistakes the other as misogynistic, while the other side mistakes
this one as ruthless. Both are misperceptions, because cultural differences
cannot be judged from a viewpoint of a specific angle.
Either you accept cultural values "as-is", or you go need to go above and
beyond cultures, strip yourself off of your viewpoints, and try to look into
the matters philosophically. If you do that, you will probably see that both
(all) cultures have their points, and this will carry you back to where you
began: accepting the differences "as-is".
In short, he was not talking about misogynism; he was talking about ying-yang
(as I understand).
