What is women's liberation in the context of a commune?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"True liberation for women and men alike arises when we abandon ownership and domination, embracing mutual respect and non-possessive love in a conscious community."
According to Osho, women’s liberation in a commune is indistinguishable from men’s liberation: domination enslaves both master and slave. True freedom comes when ownership, ritualized possession (like 'kanyadan'), and master-slave roles are dropped, replaced by mutual respect, non-possessive love, and responsibility. Then resentment, nagging, and henpecked dependence dissolve, allowing a harmonious, conscious community where no one is property and everyone is inwardly and outwardly free.
No one should own anyone; when women aren’t treated like property, men are freed from the burdens and backlash of domination, and everyone lives more peacefully.
Why this matters practically
- Transforms power struggles into cooperation and love.
- Prevents hidden hatred, nagging, and dependency cycles.
