Dope!

I prefer the first one

Good evening Nostr!! I haven’t posted any of my art in a while. Here’s a sneak peak at a new SATSCARD I’m working on. More merchants I frequently visit are becoming ‘Cash Free’ businesses. This is sad to see. Paper money is the only remaining medium to privately transact, so I figured I’d use it in a mixed media, bearer instrument—featuring new & improved freedom tech. #bitcoin #btc #makemoneyprivateagain

Let me know how large a UTXO should be loaded on it when it’s complete!

To your first inquiry, I would answer that it is impossible to deal with absolutes in life. There will always be some authority of one group of humans over another to some extent. In current western society, the church (majorly influenced by Christianity) has no enforcement body that limits women’s agency. It is the State and individuals representing the State that wield this “authority” and enforce it, many times using religious values as justification of action. In other societies, religious patriarchy IS the State & does directly limit women’s agency. A literal execution of the word of their religion in real, everyday life. Arguably, in this framing, Christianity and the Bible serve as moral guidelines, but not forced behavior in real life. Although the biblical scriptures have content that was considered acceptable at the time of its writing, doesn’t mean these texts need to be interpreted and acted upon in the most literal way. Women factually have more agency under Christian influence than some other religions (not all, but I’m also not educated enough on all religions to opine further). This isn’t me justifying or promoting subjugation of females, but it does hold some weight and points to the more important question of: why do we seek agency from religion or government in the first place?

This leads to addressing your second inquiry. There are Christian apologists and others who try to modernize Christianity (as it is practiced). I think you’d enjoy Rev. Timothy Keller’s vast writing on these types of topics where Christianity and its values/traditions are questioned. I personally gained a interest to his teachings through his book “The Reason For God” which explores skeptics’ hesitations toward accepting the Bible and/or Christian beliefs.

This Shirttail Creek egg shortage in ATX is killing me…none at the farmers market. None at Local Pastures locations. Going through withdrawals

Yes these are excerpts from the Bible. Some taken out of context, but I agree these are heavily skewed against women’s agency. I’ve never heard any of these passages used in sermon, nor have I read them as moral guidance. But to denounce the entire Bible as sexist because of these passages and say that all historical patriarchal structures are bad seems to be a stretch to me.

That said, I respectfully remain to disagree with the OP. I truly do appreciate your willingness to share this much. I also respect your contributions to bitcoin/lightning adoption. Have a great rest of your day

Being a patriarch is when the male figure in the family acts as a role model for a moral upbringing of children and creates a foundation for his family to develop.

Yes my mother was the matriarch. She birthed me. She helped provide for me in ways my dad couldn’t. She taught me things my dad couldn’t.

Why cannot both exist at the same time?

So personally (and I’m speaking from my perspective), I consider my dad the patriarch of my family. Him and my mother raised 3 kids and I never experienced any time where he subjugated my mom in any role. Not as a mother. Not in her career. So to me, patriarchy and subjugation are not synonymous, hence the original question. As so, I also don’t read the Bible and interpret it as suppressing women either. Each gender has a role and they are compliments of each other. Counterparts so to say. I was simply trying to gain another perspective as to why the recent movement of anti-patriarchy was showing up in my feeds lately

That’s not the type of response I was expecting to a genuine question. It doesn’t help your case to not inform others who don’t see things from your perspective. I understand time is valuable so I guess this won’t go anywhere

Having something like this is never a bad idea. Always better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. Easy to grab one thing on the way out if in an emergency. Even if you don’t put this much stuff in a bug out bag, you’ll be grateful to have whatever is in there should you ever find yourself needing it

What is wrong with patriarchy?

Ahh ok, maybe I just never noticed this in the past. I do know that my phones battery is pretty shot as well, which can’t help the situation

I guess it’s just my phone. It’s older so maybe that’s why

Primal works better than it was last week, but now it’s making my phone run super hot and drains the battery, even when plugged into the charger. Anyone else experiencing this?
