AB - The aim of this article is to analyze and critique the doctrine of women's incapability of becoming an enlightened one(DWI), as it appears in the early Buddhist texts(the P li Nik yas). The authenticity of the doctrine is problematic because it contradicts other passages supportive of women pursuing the Buddhist goal of nibb na. It is also problematic because it does not agree with other doctrines of Buddhism. The first part of this article presents DWI as it appeared in the texts as an approach that is predominantly misogynist, androcentric, and patriarchal. The second part of this article presents seven reasons why DWI is problematic and argues that it is anti-Buddhist in nature.
