Among the thousand cuts of hypocrisy of present day SV Brahmins is the way women are treated.
Take a look at the life story of Andal the SVs themselves narrate. She was found by periyazhvar as a baby left near a tulasi bush and raised her. She was given in "marriage" to Ranganatha, a practice that fell into disrepute in relatively more modern times. Her poetry was exquisite and perfect. Thiruppavai is among the best poem ever written by anybody. The early acharyas saw this and made her and her poetry part of their daily worship. Thiruppavai was recited everyday. The last two verses of her Thiruppavai was given the top spot during the climax of Bahagavad arathanai, i.e. சாற்றுமுறை.
This practice continues till today, in every temple, every Matam, every orthodox home, no day can pass without either reciting the entire திருப்பாவை, or at least the last two verses.
But the tragedy is, at no temple or Matam women will be allowed to join in. Women cannot join in the goshti and recite Andal's pasurams, or any pasuram of course. Even if Andal herself comes in flesh and blood, she has to stand outside mute, she won't be allowed to join in the recitation of her own poems. In her own birth place திருவில்லிபுத்தூர், and in her own temple, in Andal's own temple, she has to stand outside the inner hall nearest to the சந்நிதி where only men are allowed during சாற்றுமுறை.
They sing வாழி this வாழி that to Andal, and even பெரும்பூதூர் மாமுனிக்கு பின்னானாள் வாழியே -- yes she was made into honorary sister (தங்கை) of Ramanuja -- yet she has to stand outside when men sing all this inside to her statue.
