What is it with so many muslims who have this stone set mindset of never using their own brains when it comes to scholars or hadith?

They do realize that the entire system is self proclaimed authority with interpretations of the sources which oh so obviously anyone can achieve for themselves? Anyone can become a scholar so why are they ignoring how many other people who worked within the same system and sources were marginalized only because they had a different outcome?

The 1400 of this ot that argument makes me laugh since none of them are probably aware of how in +1200 years there was not a SINGLE tafsir written by a woman or preserved by the people. How those same ijma scholars also had the ijma that the headcover was not mandatory for slave women despite the quran or sunnah never mandating such a law?

I feel like the lack of critical thinking in this community makes most people step into a deeply authoritarian state almost like some government instead of a nuanced way of life
