Is She Enabled Within a Household?
She is seen as empowering within a household. If the household and the lineage functions well, some feminists would argue that's not at all empowering because that actually makes women subject to patriarchal norms. Some other feminists would say, well, let's look to these female deities for finding role models for women. She might emphasise very strongly her notion of shock to your power without which the males cannot actually operate. And therefore, that gives her an authority in that role that if we look on it from a very Western patriarchalised lens, we might not see at all.
