Diljit Ji majority of world religions had placed women in a secondary position to men. This had been a major cause of conflict, frustration and stress among women. Guru Nanak gave women social equality and religious freedom. He says,
ਭੰਡਿ ਜੰਮੀਐ ਭੰਡਿ ਨਿੰਮੀਐ ਭੰਡਿ ਮੰਗਣੁ ਵੀਆਹੁ ॥ ਭੰਡਹੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਦੋਸਤੀ ਭੰਡਹੁ ਚਲੈ ਰਾਹੁ ॥ AGGS 473.
Bhand Janmiai Bhand Ninmiai Bhand Mangan Viahu || Bhandahu Hovai Dosati Bhandahu Chalai Rahu ||
ਭੰਡੁ ਮੁਆ ਭੰਡੁ ਭਾਲੀਐ ਭੰਡਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਬੰਧਾਨੁ ॥ ਸੋ ਕਿਉ ਮੰਦਾ ਆਖੀਐ ਜਿਤੁ ਜੰਮਹਿ ਰਾਜਾਨ ॥
Bhand Mua Bhand Bhaliai Bhand Hovai Bandhan || So Kio Manda Akhiai Jit Janmeh Rajan ||
We make friends with women and marry them. Our generations grow because of them. When wife dies we marry another woman. Why call woman low who, give birth to kings and all.
Respected Daljit Ji;
I agree with the earlier response.
Briefly, the spirit of the message is emphasis on gender equality. rest is wording to emphasize it.
