Hi Gerrardthor

I think the reason Buddha said this was not do disrespect the woman but to make it more easy for the monks who should think about the teachings and not get attachments to feelings for woman.

As far as i know"from talking to monks" they can talk and look at a woman but a monk seldom say things if he or she is not asked something.
And when Buddha said Keep wide awake, he meant pay attention to what she say, but dont let you self astray from teachings,

The thinker
