See a problem. Because building a community is a hell of a lot more effort, time, and energy, for a very tenuous and abstract reward. Compared to the instant dopamine dump running a map in Path of Exile and picking up the currency that drops.
And I have, I think anyway, an acute awareness of the problem and understand this is the correct solution.
I see "neighborhood watch" signs on my block and have no fucking clue who to talk to about joining and what the hell they even do or even if they exist at all and aren't just signs.
Or want to find a church but either they are hardcore evangelical and I'm not really committed to the whole jesus thing, or they are subverted with women giving sermons.
Its a bootstrap problem where if you never really had connections and your family wasn't integrated into a neighborhood growing up, you don't know where to start and even if you make the effort you need to harden up to a lot of false starts and wasted effort.
I agree with a lot of that. Maybe not the women giving sermons stuff, but the fundamental point: we don't have a reference point to start with. That's why I'm kinda hoping we can use this place as a reference point.
find a church with a women giving sermons that isn't subverted, I haven't yet and have been researching diffrent churches/synagogues in my area for a few months
Doesn't really matter to me, I reject your god.
All that means to me is that there is a level of inherent weakness within your religious philosophy and traditions. Women want a patriarch of some nature, the fact that their sermons in your church do not reflect this is an internal problem that is deeper than some gatekeeping procedure.
Think of it like this: why would a woman want to lead a sermon if they had been acculturated to your religion's ideology.
A secular comparison of this might be the NFL. Why have no women ever played on a professional football team? There is no gatekeeping to stop them from trying. That first time get fucking spear'd is way more convincing. There is no desire for them to try or continue. It's a wasted effort. It's a bad idea with few positive benefits, particularly compared with doing anything else as a woman. If, on the other hand, women were all over the place in the NFL, playing quarterback and the like, that would suggest that there was something very strange happening to the culture of the NFL, who it's attracting, and who it's disincentivizing.
I'd say your focus would be to answer those questions for your religion first. Otherwise, even if you were to successfully gatekeep, it would only be a bandage over a sucking chest-wound.
