non-misogynists are likely to come up with such deity. Please note that Tripura Sundari is not some lower deity. She is "The God". 2/2

Unfortunately, her denomination became weaker and weaker as Islam became stronger. Hindus themselves influenced by Islamic misogyny.

How do you explain sati? Is that not a form of misogyny?

No. The reason why Sati was practiced was not because ppl thought low of women. It was because of their superstitious beliefs. 1/2

Hindus thought that the wife will join her husband if she does Sati. In Hinduism's defense, there is nothing in scriptures that backs Sati.2

Also, many people (usually relatives) had agendas. They knew if they force her to do Sati, they'll get the dead man's property.

None of what you've said stops it being a misogynistic cultural practice that is not in any way influenced by Islam.

Also, how do you explain purdah, which predates Islam by several centuries?

Purdah does not predate Islam. Islam's 'hijab' thingy IS what started Purdah. Purdah is not of India origin, it is Islam-origin!

Purdah was predominantly practiced in NW India (Punjab and surrounding states, incl Pakistan) That is exactly where Islam was most dominant.

Ok, I stand corrected. However, the link you posted clearly says that Purdah was brought to India by Muslims.
