"So from the point of view of a modern, well-educated feminist, yes, Buddhism is patriarchal.

But here’s the complicated part: Buddha really meant that women have equal capability to realize every aspect of the path to awakening, and women practitioners know it. So they have practiced, achieved much, and dealt with the confines of patriarchy as best they could."

- Ven. Thubten Chonyi, nun in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

Since it is so likely that (children) will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise you are making their destiny not brighter but darker.
C.S. Lewis
