The worst was the line when he tells his male students to think of sex as worshipping the sacred feminine.
And they all avidly sit there taking in all the wisdom he has to offer, and therefore presumably leaving his class with the belief that their partners are not actually individuals but just manifestations of the sacred feminine and sex shouldn't be about them at all. Ew. How are women supposed to think about sex in this view, anyway? Some kind of stepping stone towards helping men achieve True Enlightenment?
(Although, I'd love a sequel where one of his female students demands an A just for having a womb.)
I don't like the idea of religions where the truth is only found through decoding things, either. There's something really repellent about that - literalism combined with the idea that only a select few get access to truth anyway. And I'm not going to like it any better when it's pretending to be all about women.
