Following reasons proves Nepalese society a Sexixt:
1. not letting women in the house during monthly period is the worst proof of Nepales society a Sexist. Not letting her touch other person, most of food, in a temple, isolaing in community for at least 4 or 5 days and lots of other restrictions. Even worse example can be seen west nepal where a young girls is kept alone in a "goth" far away from her for god knows how many days during her mentural cycle.
2. forcing women to call her husband "pati parmeshwor" even though he beats her every evening and still she has to touch his feet the very next morning
3. killing of fetus when found its a girl. ( a rearch showed that there is a possibilty of a demographic and cultural problem in south indian region in 25 years due to number of girls far more less than that of boys)
4. still not letting women be a single mum ( i wonder if its allowed by law now. i suppose Mum, now, can give her child her surname. please varify this).
5. a widow not allowed by society to get married again.
6. accusing single, old, helpless women of being a witch (bokshi).
7. expecting a wife be a good house wife and taking care of house and family
8. parents still producing handfull of daughters expecting a son and having mentality that "if you don't have a son, who would tourch parent's dead body?"
please add more if you can think more....
