Prabhupāda: Do you think, from social point of view, this position of woman and the fatherless children are very nice thing? No.
Woman reporter: What I'm trying to say is that . . . this may happen to some women. I'm talking about women who are not . . .
Prabhupāda: Not . . . these are the general cases. You cannot say "some." I see in America mostly the woman . . .
Woman reporter: Oh, then what you're saying is not all women should be subordinate to all men.
Prabhupāda: No, man should be subordinate to the man, woman, so that the man can take charge of the woman. Then that woman is not a problem to the public.
Woman reporter: Is it true for all woman and all men?
Prabhupāda: Yes, that is the nature. You take even in the dogs. The dogs, they also take care of their children. The tigers, they take care of the children. So in the human society, if the woman is made pregnant and the man goes away and she is embarrassed, she has to beg from the government, that is not a very good situation.
Woman reporter: What about women who do not have children?
Prabhupāda: Well, that is also another unnatural thing. Sometimes they use contraceptives. They kill children, abortion. That is also not very good. These are all sinful activities. These are sinful activities, to kill child in the womb and take shelter of abortion. These are all sinful activities. One has to suffer for that.
Woman reporter: Is the social unrest in this country caused because . . .
Prabhupāda: Because of these things. They do not know that.
Woman reporter: And if women were subordinate to men, it would solve all of our problems?
Prabhupāda: Yes. Man wants that woman should be subordinate, faithful to him. Then he is ready to take charge. The man's mentality, woman's mentality different. So if the woman agrees to remain faithful and subordinate to man, then the family life will be peaceful.
Woman reporter: Thank you. It's late.

Prabhupāda: Hmm?
Nitāi: She's going to ask the same questions . . .
Woman reporter: You don't have to answer.
