Brahma Kumaris "feminists" ... don't make me laugh. They are not feminists, they are karma-bound caste-ists.

Poor people have to use their ingenuity and for women ... many of whom have to rise before dawn ... that can mean only being able to relieve themselves after dark ... with all the safety issues that entails.
