Previously, Yogi Adityanath went on to warn of the inherent dangers in making women like men. Yogi said, ”If men acquire women-like qualities, they become gods but when women acquire men like qualities, they become (‘rakshasa’) demon like.” Explaining his take further he said, ”how the concept of women’s freedom of the western world is what is distracting the women here and it will hamper the creation and stability of the home and family and prevent the glorious rebuilding of the nation and motherland.”

In one of his articles, Yogi Adityanath references that women need male protection from birth to death and that they have an energy power (urja) that should be regulated or controlled, lest it winds up becoming worthless and destructive. Only ‘controlled’ power of women will foster the birth and rearing of great men.
