Thank you. It hasn’t mattered to men when women spoke softly, pleaded, or tried to reason on the violence of patriarchy but the minute we express rage at the ongoing spiral of destruction of this earth and the devaluation of the lives of women and children, we are told that’s not how to usher change. THAT violence only brings more violence to us we are told; the domestic abuse psychological jedi mind trick.

The same phenomena happens when black and brown people bring attention to patriarchal supremacist systems. Ya kya win!! One piece of gaslighting after the next that implies rage is only allowed, only natural to white men.

When I was young girl I remembered hearing about Amazon women and children who lived in community with one another, no men allowed. The women were warrior women who defended their communities from male invasion. We could use some of that energy to bring in change for women and children while men continue their apocalyptic homoerotic ambitions to conquer and control. Convincing men that giving up power will assure the wellbeing of ALL of us is like convincing white people we will ALL gain by letting go of their manufactured hierarchy.
