And as @zenartcenter has noted, there are female Bodhisattvas within the #Mahayana tradition.

This is not to say that there are not problems. But I've always thought religious communities are so diverse. Consider #Christianity - you can have hardcore Christian nationalists in the US and you can have radical peace churches like the Quakers, Mennonites, and Amish within the same tradition.

The key is to not see religious traditions as monolithic and to understand that there are many traditions operating simultaneously within the larger umbrella and which can become more important in certain places, times, societies, and contexts.
