  Kabir  does not think well of women. there is almost a tirade against them in  the hymns of Kabir. Woman is characterised as "a black cobra', the pit  of hell and the refuse of the world." She is considered to be a hurdle  in the path of the spiritual progress of man. He spoke, "woman ruins  everything when she comes near a man; devotion, salvation and divine  knowledge no longer enter his soul." His views, about woman are also  evident from all his vehement attacks against maya. Almost everywhere he  links maya to a woman who is out to entice and entrap man, and destroy  his spiritual life. Such views about woman from a married person are,  indeed, quite uncommon. The cosmological views of Kabir give a clear  clue to his worldview. He finds Niranjana to be the creator of the  world; maya or woman. And this woman stands between man and God. She is  there to entice him away from Him. 

Should we follow that as Sikhs?

Also the point about mistranslation is irrelevant is one line is taken out of a shabad. It then becomes a misquote surely?

Don't eat buttered bread either?
