I was referring to the philosophy of the ancient teachings rather than current practices which I agree are dubious. I also can't really include Islam in my observations as I don't know enough about it.

I've just read something which has upset me.. the below post appeared on my LinkedIn feed after one of my contacts commented on it....
So many people in the comments agreeing with her (thankfully, my contact did not agree)
It's really sad to see a post like this from anyone, but especially from a woman.

Oh dear. The internalised misogyny is strong with this one
Reminds me of a saying I once heard.
"'They said it was my fault' said the bikini.
'They said that to me too. said the burka."
Besides the point, but woke bro has the weirdest beard I’ve ever seen, why is it growing out of his neck?
Jamie Chadwick aims for F1 but unsure women can cope with physical demands
W Series champion Jamie Chadwick has questioned whether female drivers are physically able to compete in F1
www.theguardian.com
F1 was mentioned recently on a previous thread, this was a really interesting interview highlighting issues I'd not considered. Obviously women are not as strong as men, and F1 is a tremendous physical challenge, but I'd never thought that wider hips made difficulties for simply getting into the cockpit, nor the angle of attack of the pedals (I imagine that is the same thigh angle which means male cyclists transfer more power to the pedal directly), nor the thickness of the steering wheel.
It's a neckbeard. The badge of the wokester
I'm an atheist and I agree with you. I feel like gender ideology has filled a space that was once at least partially inhabited by organised religion. Gender ideology is very similar to a cult or religion in the way it acts as a tool of social control, creates an 'in group' and an 'out group' and has authoritarian rules about what behaviour is considered right and wrong. It's also metaphysical/involves a lot of blind faith and magical thinking. Humans are social creatures who crave the acceptance (and for some, the structure and guidance) of a group. Gender ideology, like religion, tells individuals they are special and unique and morally superior and both promise peace and happiness if only you follow the rules.
I think we're living through a very strange time - in the West, living lives of relative comfort, good health, peace and prosperity, which has given us time for navel gazing narcissism. Nobody struggling for subsistence has the time to be bothered about pronouns.
That's so, so good. I've often thought was a little baby dressed provocative or a 90 year old woman asleep in her bed?
It is a cult and it needs to be recognised as one.
Totally agree about the navel gazing narcissism. I feel like we reached a stage where no one had anything to protest about so the younger generation starting making stuff up. So they could be oppressed too. It always seems to me that the empty kettles making the most noise were the over privileged ones.
I agree.
You don’t see people in poorest countries worrying about whether they have a boy day or a girl day. They are too busy worrying about where their next meal or water is coming from
That's it, exactly. Comfortable lives with no stresses, and 2 years of covid/ being at home/ lockdowns has given them too much entitled thinking time to waste on absolute tit.
A cult, yes, that's what it reminds me of.
Young people have a habit of needing to be angry about something as well. Social injustice scratches that itch, only they get derailed and become misguided and see injustices that aren't there.

It is most definitely a cult in my view.

I’ve heard this too but it went like this:
”they said it was my fault”, said the bikini.
”they said that to me too,” said the burqa.
The nappy in the corner couldn’t even speak.
Oh my goodness
Fine for women to be uncomfortable, but your own sex? That would be mean.

I'm 5ft tall with a K cup. It's impossible to dress without 'drawing attention' to them, even wearing a turtleneck. They were an E cup by 13, I wasn't trying to draw attention to them then either.
Also, it is so infantilising men. It's LinkedIn. If they can't keep out of women's DMs then that is their own fault. Most men are capable of being professional.
Also also, the specific men she's trying to impress will never see her as an equal. No matter how much she panders to them.
