What is the "Muse Project?"

A few months back my friend & business associate Carly @ogc. Carly & I call each other our P.I.C. "partner in crime." Hahahaha. Carly said she'd like to talk about a idea she was formulating. Of course; love to hear what was going on. She then explained to me the initial thoughts about working with other women on Steem. Having a place & a voice on the blockchain.
Instantly fell in love with the idea. Over the next few weeks @ogc's idea began to take shape. She assembled a super group of women on Steem. They would all work together. Sharing equally in the work & equally in contributing to help others on the blockchain.
Thus the "Muse Project" @museproject was born.
The Muse Project Mission Statement
“Enlightening and empowering women in the blockchain & beyond.”
This is the 5 founding members of the "Muse Project."

This comes directly from their introducutory post @museproject.
"In Greek mythology, the Muses were the goddesses of inspiration. They were said to inspire the creation of epic poetry, beautiful works of art, and noble stories. The modern muse is still one that inspires others to create their own unique works, though the means of creation have changed and evolved. In this time of exponentially evolving technology, the Muse Project aims to uplift women through the creation of heartfelt content.
Who Are We?
The Muse Project is backed and guided by a collective of five powerful female founders that have come together through a mutual love of the Steem blockchain and a desire to make the community stronger. Each woman has a unique gift to offer the community. Not only does each one create quality content, it is also their goal to empower other women to find their creative voice."

"What Do We Do?
This platform is a marriage of technology and the art of creation. Because this model is so new, there can be challenges in navigating the waters. The Muse Project is a source for women to find support in the platform.
How Do We Do This?
Through a constant flow of enriching content from the collective, and also the content of featured female creators from the platform. The Muse Project is a model that will attribute 25% of post rewards towards a fund that goes directly back to female creators, in the way of a scholarship. Women can apply for and gain funding for their project within a set of guidelines that are set to enrich both the creator and the community."

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.
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.
Women is incredibly necessary to mass adoption in Crypto. it's nice sign that these days not solely men square measure talikng concerning crypto. wanting forward during this nice project. @Steemdunk
I agree with you.
But I am confuse😞😞
Great ideas .. smart steps .. all thumbs up to you @steemcafe
We need women if we need to be successful in the crypto world
We need anyone. Why do we need to concentrate on sexes or genders?? In the UK the worst performing group are white working class boys. they need a leg up too..
I totally agree
I agree with you
Go for it - great project and so needed.
I love it already. It's a nice project
Already bored to death by this... Women need zero empowerment. Women in the West literally CANNOT fail.
thanks for the information, I se @museplatform doing great in the nearest future. Blockchain need more of this kind of project we are happy to have Muse here.
I agree. Just like using blockchain to unite anything this branch is very important. Empowering people like this will change the world.
Nice post man!
This is absolutely wonderful!
Not only do women need to support the strength of themselves and other women.. so do men. So often in life, men do not empower women... It's truly sad. Women are the reason each and every one of us is even here. They are the life-givers, the nurturers, the essence of being. Without them, we are nothing, and we need to do a much better job of lifting them up and giving them the support they deserve.
A wonderful initiative and I'm going to enjoy watching this unfold and expand. It's a beautiful thing and I hope that many many more people join in supporting this. :)
Hope you're all having a blessed day! :)
