Not bad, Kali the Destroyer is certainly badass, but for me it could also be Sekhmet (the Egyptian Warrior Goddess represented by a Lioness) or Nyx (Greek Primordial Goddess of the Night, Mother of Death, Doom, Fate, and Sleep; said to be as beautiful as she is terrifying (as friggin’ Zeus would rather swallow his pride than get on her bad side)) who will show the misogynistic Fundies what a true goddess can do!
…Yeah, so I have a thing for strong, badass women. Strong, badass women who could (metaphoricaly) snap me in half me with their pinkie yet will never do so because they are also caring and protective towards their loved ones. I’m not apologizing for it ever.
Anyway, that’s what I think “true femininity” is, a powerful, strong-willed-yet-caring motherly protector. Not at all some weak-willed, fragile, porcelain doll…
Other badass female deities I can think of are Ishtar (Mesopotamian goddess of love, war, fertility, beauty, law, and power), Bast (Related to Sekhmet; Egyptian Cat Goddess who is also one of Ra’s bodyguards and strong enough to fight equally with Apep of all monstrosities), Izanami-no-Mikoto (Japanese Creator Deity and Mother Goddess of the Shinto pantheon)… Or even any female Aesir, Vanir, or Jotnar from Norse mythology. They’re pretty much all badass warriors.
SIGH Why IS it that the Abrahamic Religions (the dominant ones) just HAVE to be the most misogynistic and partriarchal religions of them all?
