Are men more spiritual than women?
in Spirituality ·
Men find it easier to break through because of our evolutionary baggage. I’m not trying to start a debate about religion here, but the reality is that most major faiths place men above women. That outdated programming has been baked into our psyche for millennia, which is why people who consider themselves spiritually advanced still subconsciously default to trusting men more.
I believe women reach enlightenment at the exact same rate as men; we just don't notice it as often. You don't need to be some famous guru to achieve spiritual clarity—in fact, I’d argue the opposite is true. It’s impossible to generalize or make sweeping claims about the true nature of women, especially since everyone is wearing a social mask these days anyway. As for history? It’s written by the winners, so we shouldn't expect much truth from those records regardless.
We should start looking at things through a lens of equality instead of nitpicking whether Buddha actually said something specific thousands of years ago.
