Question

Did the Buddha give different talks or advice for men and women?

Answer

I think the only different things he talked about was concerned with how they relate to each other in rules and the discipline. As far as the teachings go, I'm not aware that he actually gave different advice on how to become enlightened. The Dhamma is the Dhamma with human beings, liberation is not a man or woman liberation. I'm not aware that he actually changed the teachings of how to purify the mind. Because when there's greed, hatred and ignorance it's not a female or a male thing, it's just greed, hatred and ignorance. When he was specifically asked about whether women had the potential to become enlightened, he said, yes. Which is very inspiring, and Buddhism is very inspiring.
