I just thought of sharing these quotes are from Indian scriptures.
"He who abuses women, abuses Laksmi (goddess of Fortune) Herself; he who abuses Laksmi, abuses the entire three worlds."
"He whose heart is gladdened by the sight of women, like moonlight, and who never entertains evil thoughts of them, he is most dear to Me (Laksmi)."
"Knowing women as my direct manifestation, how can a yogi refrain from revering them? Women should always be worshiped and treated with affection."
- Laksmi Tantra -
"Where women are treated with respect, the very deities are said to be filled with joy. Where women are not worshiped, all acts become fruitless. If the women of a family, in consequence of the treatment they receive, grieve and shed tears, that family soon becomes extinct. Those houses that are cursed by women meet with destruction and ruin as if scorched by some Atharvan rite. Such houses lose their splendor. their growth and prosperity cease."
"Do ye men show them honor. The righteousness of men depends on women."
"Deities of prosperity are women. the persons that desire prosperity should honor them. By cherishing women, one cherishes the Goddess of prosperity Herself, and by afflicting her, one is said to afflict the Goddess of prosperity."
- Mahabharata -
