100% always welcome!! They’re really interesting and the comments and upvotes shows other people think so too. I personally really like that you’re shining a light on the ones not many people have heard of.

I put a vote in for covering the stepmother / aunt / foster mother of the historical Buddha who basically bullied him into ordaining her as a nun and including women in monasteries.

There’s a bit on this here: https://buddhism.stackexchange.com/questions/9905/why-the-buddha-didnt-originally-allow-ordination-of-women

There’s a tendency to try to cover up Buddhism’s misogyny, especially these days with Buddhist-modernism running rampant in the West. What most people hear is that the Buddha was unusually accepting of women (and maybe he was for his time), but they gloss over all his misogyny, or the fact that he was essentially forced into accepting women by a woman rather than being so open-minded that he included women from the start.

Pretty good! I trained for 3 hours which isn’t as impressive as it sounds… I have to do that long cos I’m disabled and have to sit for most of it. Now lemmying and vaguely watching the gilded age. How’s your day
