    This document discusses four distinct attitudes toward women in early Buddhism: soteriological inclusiveness, institutional androcentrism, ascetic misogyny, and soteriological androgyny. It notes that early Buddhist teachings emphasized soteriological inclusiveness by teaching that women were equally capable of achieving nirvana. However, institutional structures like monastic rules reflected androcentrism. Certain ascetic teachings also promoted misogynistic views. Later Mahayana texts advocated the ideal of soteriological androgyny.
