“The learning found among women forms the conclusion of dharma... one should learn the remaining Dharmas from women and people of all classes"-- Apastamba Dharmasutra 2.29.11 (Hindu) https://twitter.com/FeminismInIndia/status/1385088473787473921
A Buddhist monk falls in love with a woman.

Buddha asks him-"Brother, why are you in love with a woman.

Women are lustful, wasteful, vile, degraded woe bringers".

And then he tells the story about how wicked a woman can be.
