I see. So, you think most of the things Bahaullah taught are too simple and common sense that most people would know and There is nothing special about His teachings.
But many of the teachings of Bahaullah were unknown to the people of the world in His time. It is known now, because His ideas were spread throughout the world by His followers, and others were inspired indirectly. For example the right of voting for women. The Bahai Faith promoted voting right of women before any other country in the west or east did. To verify this, you should see at what year women started to have voting rights in different countries, and then also see at what year Bahai women were voting.
Can you show us the dates that bahai promoted women to vote? Also, what type of voting? If political, why is it different for thr UHJ and say the states? If spiritual, why is spiritual view of men and women equal like wings but divided when it comes to political roles?
It sounds like a contradiction to support womens rights to vote outside your faith but inside women are limited. Women outside your faith wanted to vote for many reasons not just political. A lot of whom felt it degraded them as human beings when they are segregated by their sex.
Kind of like saying "dont speak ill of someone" but you do so because you have justification for it that others dont see moral unless it applies to both sides or none at all.
This is in a lot of religions.
Looks like Equal Rights for Women started in 1866 in America
Which started the Women's suffrage movement in about 1920.
At 1920 it became constitutional.
Abdu’l-Bahá l came to the states around the same time. He probably supported the admendment already supported by many people before 1920.
New Zealand (unless
@adrian009 corrects me) is a western country and they gave women rights in 1893 so there was some type of support way before 1920.
Bahaullah born in 1817 and just short research The Bab start preaching in 1844 and assuming he went along with his countrys culture, womens rights were no wear near given.
In all cases, there are many people in all time areas before bahai that supported womens rights. The dates tell specific events but not individual initiatives.
Religously, christianity has "no men and no women and no jew and no gentile; all are children of god". This is before bahai came about too.
Also, womens right to vote is not just a spiritual issue but a political one. In Bahaullahs writings, women cant politically take place in the UHJ to vote. Why support women to vote outside your faith but when its inside your faith, womens political roles are limited just as before 1920 in America?
Also, how are womens rights to vote unique when its been a problem needed addressing way before bahai came to existence?
