If you don’t want to encounter racism in a restaurant, then you can start your own restaurant.

If you want schools for LGBTQ students, then you can start your own schools.

Racism exists till someone starts a restaurant which doesn’t practice discrimination.

Safe Schools for LGBTQ students don’t exist till someone steps up to ensure a safe environment in their school.

Wheelchair access for stores doesn’t exist till someone decides to proactively install it.

Now according to the left ,this “someone” is the state not individual and I agree with this only when there’s no one who provides the LGBT friendly school,etc

Sweden is the most women’s friendly nation so in countries like that in order for buddhism to thrive then it must adapt while in sexist countries like Afghanistan for example buddhism should be the way it’s without changing anything

Now sexist is right too because they base their opinion on gotami sutta

Feminist is right too because they base their opinion on mahaparinibbana sutta

So both are right here
