When someone points out India’s debt numbers and you tell them that India’s debt to GDP ratio is lower than many major economies, THAT’S NOT WHATABOUTERY. That’s telling you: IT’S STANDARD, LOOK HERE.
SIMILARLY, when someone says “Why single out Manusmriti? Here are misogynistic, violent, discriminatory, or otherwise illiberal passages in other religious texts.” THAT’S NOT WHATABOUTERY. That’s showing your STUPIDITY IN SINGULARLY DENOUNCING JUST ONE SCRIPTURE, WHEN SOCIO-ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATIONS HAVE RENDERED ALL RELIGIOUS TEXTS OBSOLETE. That’s showing that NO RELIGIOUS TEXT IS COMPATIBLE WITH MODERN CIVILISATION.
Not whataboutery to ask why your citation mongering is limited to JUST Hindu texts. Its just that you don’t wanna get exposed for your intrinsic hatred ONLY FOR HINDUISM.
