I wonder if this is even necessary. From my experience so far, Steem has been the most gender neutral and neutrally empowering system out there. I don't yet see a reason why we should start creating discriminating cliques of gender separation like this.
Women here are already doing very well creatively, scientifically, educationally, entertainingly and financially - just as well as men and perhaps even better excluding the end of the bell curve of the wealthy elites.
This idea insinuates that women are less capable than men of getting by on the blockchain where the playing field is about as level as it could possibly be. Do the women really need help here? It would be interesting to see some statistics regarding this.
I suppose its nice for girls to 'go to the bathroom together' with these things, but it weakens the idea of being independent and open minded and encourages a gender specific circle jerk that I just think we could do without, frankly.
...a model that will attribute 25% of post rewards towards a fund that goes directly back to female creators.
I just... yeah. Evidence that this is remotely necessary before I can personally support the idea.
I just have to say: "But why?" I understand if you want to start some kind of girls club as a gag or for fun, but this goes waaay beyond anything i see as necessary. During my time here on Steemit, i havent seen one single thing that would even make me think this is something that should exist.
I dont see a "Guy only initiative for promoting work by male creators". What about: "Initiative for empowering white creators"... We will call it "White empowerment".. Everybody would lose their mind if someone did that.
This imo just creates unnecessary division within the community. Not only do i think its not a positive initiative, but rather exactly the opposite. I think it sets a bad example.
All the luck to the girls in charge, i truly dont think you had bad intentions.
I think i must agree with you. Why do we have to seperate ourselves at all in this non physical world..
Surely creating divisions is going backwards??
this is part of men hating ideology.....it's not feminism anymore....it's feminazism
It is a cool and beautiful Steemit post with inspirational female Steemians. In
NOway does it do what you are suggesting. I'm a teacher and reposted this picture on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Many of my students appreciated and shared this artistic uplifting post bringing more people to SteemitTotalmente de acuerdo con tu comentario, no creo en la discriminacion de ningun tipo, si no en la integracion, y creo que eso es lo que hace interesante a steemit, la participacion de hombres y mujeres en terminos igualitarios en esta plataforma.
I'm with you on this. There are lots of women on this platform doing very well. If the project wants to bring to light the creatives on this platform who are not getting the support and recognition they deserve, I'm fully behind it. Making it women centered.. seems rather elitist to me.
