well i think this poem shouldn't be targeted only at the female gender, it implies pretty well to guys as well. smiling smiley let's not be sexist here. and.......it's not possible to wear clean alwaysConsidering Akal Purakh as Husband Lord and all human beings as women; leaves no option in poetry for the second gender of humanity. There is no man except Him accordingly. So I do not think it could be termed as disrespect for women. Rather, Guru Sahib has preferred this gender to explain our preferred ideal relation with Akal Purakh. This man woman analogy has been used in Gurbani, we know that. So, it is a big honor for women in Gurbani. All are advised to behave women like.
May be I am not able to understand the point, Bhein Ji wanted to convey.
As a side note, I remember a controversy here. Few years ago, a detailed article was written by a writer in a journal published by Jawadi Kalan, Ludhiana people. One of the points raised in his article was that in Gurbani, woman gender is portrayed as of a society which is not acceptable today. Woman is given a second and lower grade position in many of Its symbols. The article received criticism a lot. The author has to ask for forgiveness.
As far as the word KUCHHEEL is concerned, it is used for both genders as adjective and does not imply dirty clothes only. Dirty actions (Chhaal=Movement) probably are also covered in its meaning.
