dont paint yourself lower because of your gender and don't listen to these guys. Sikh Rehet Maryada says you are every bit as capable as they are. They love nothing more than to make you believe you deserve less than they do. But why? You have ask why? Only Hindu believe women were born that way as a punishment and that they have to do service of men (husband) to advance through this and the other 6 lifetimes before being born male and having privilege. Our Gurus did not think this way. You are not born in a lower body as some punishment where you have to do service of men and live a less life. In Kashmir here most families are Amritdhari much higher rate than in Punjab. You won't see cut hairs here or clean shaven. And we don't practice discrimination. Women have been president of Gurdwara, Panj Pyaras and everything in between. We follow only Sikh Rehet Maryada even in historical Gurdwaras here. World didn't shatter when Kaurs were Panj Pyaras. The men didn't feel stepped on or had something taken away because their egos were not so large here. Even the males who regularly do seva as Panj Pyaras tell at every sinchar to the Kaur's present that they want to see some of them do that same seva someday and to never let anyone tell them they have limitations for being female. By the way you may have guessed this is not Harkiran but her husband. I fully support equality of women. I have told her it's not worth arguing with close minded backward people.
