The efforts to reveal and silence #JaneDoe are classic #Epstein tactics. The sickness of that #patriarchal society is a blight on all of humanity.
#GloriaSteinem was a name that made scores of insecure, sexist #manbabies outraged and terrified at the same time. She led a charge against indefensible #inequality alongside women of all walks of life.
The fight against #patriarchal power structures will continue until #equality is achieved.

“The #antidemocratic #radicalization of the Right has not been fueled by a sense of strength, but by a pervasive sense of weakness. They are feeling their backs against the wall. And they are reacting to something real: Our “Western” societies have indeed become more pluralistic, less white, less overwhelmingly Christian. In that sense, it was not the perfectly stable #liberaldemocracy that suddenly fell into crisis (because such an order had never existed), but white #Christian #patriarchal #dominance – what the Right likes to call the “natural order” – that has been coming under pressure.”

#Violence against #women is a constant - even in the #west. Every year on woman's day I talk to various women and men about the subject. You figure out pretty quickly that abusers get away with evil deeds as a matter of social convention.
When that social convention is taken to #patriarchal extremes, the lives of girls and women are under constant threat.

I have no idea why I'm so depressed that I'll never be in full #communion with the #Catholic church unless my spouse goes in front of a #priest and presents as their birth gender long enough for us to have our #marriage validated. I had no concern about it before. In fact, I was perfectly okay with the firm belief that #religion is nothing but a bunch of man-made lies meant to enforce archaic #patriarchal #dominance #hierarchies. And now, #God is convicting my heart that I need to join one...

Early Access: Transmasc apologies for #malePrivilege: do we need them?
There are limited studies on how #transmasculine people experience the harms of #sexist and #patriarchal views, but speak to any transmasc person, and they’ll be able to tell you how common those harms are. Anxiety or trauma from these experiences may be why some transmascs believe they can’t transition without becoming an oppressor.

I keep being caught off guard by the deeply internalized sexism and misogyny of women, cis and trans, that I meet, each camp seemingly feeling offended by my not conforming to this faux return to an idyllic life of the past.
This is something which seems even even more insane to me, (born during Jim Crow of the 1950s), when #Black and #Brown women whose ancestors literally never lived any part of that life affect this #trad, #softlife #neoliberal #patriarchal #hyperfem fantasy.
You cannot put a yoke around your own neck and claim it as a liberatory expression because it is your choice. You cannot reclaim chains as freedom!
Trump and MAGA’s Plan to Control Women is INSANE.

The Power of Women in Minoan Civilization
by Alexios Zorbas, May 23, 2023
Excerpt: "The Minoan civilization, flourishing on the island of Crete from approximately 2700 to 1450 BCE, stands out in ancient history for its progressive social structure and remarkable gender equality. Unlike the predominantly #patriarchal societies of the ancient Mediterranean world, Minoan society was a beacon of #egalitarianism particularly concerning women’s liberties.
Women in Minoan society held a significant position, relishing a degree of independence and freedom that was extraordinary during that era.
"Their roles extended beyond domestic confines, as they actively engaged in various facets of public life. They were seen in religious ceremonies, political discussions, and economic activities, showcasing their versatility and contributing to the societal fabric of Minoan civilization.
"Furthermore, women were not silent spectators in politics; they actively participated in political affairs, serving in roles such as advisors, administrators, and even rulers. Their influence was also evident in foreign affairs, as they took part in diplomatic missions and negotiations.
"Economically, Minoan women demonstrated their prowess by engaging in a wide array of activities that contributed to the prosperity of the Minoan civilization. They participated in agriculture, trade, and craftsmanship, managing their own businesses and properties, further proving their autonomy.
"Moreover, Minoan women enjoyed legal rights and protections that were exceptional in the ancient world. They had the right to own property, inherit wealth, and independently engage in legal contracts. This level of legal autonomy was indeed extraordinary for the period, emphasizing the advanced nature of Minoan society."

#Matriarchy May Have Prevailed in #Minoan Civilization
By Maria Rybachuk, November 13, 2023
Excerpt: "The Minoan civilization, among the earliest and most advanced societies in the #BronzeAge, excelled in art, trade, and the prominent role of women.
"Women in ancient Greece were markedly disadvantaged in terms of rights, often confined to domestic and reproductive spheres. However, there were some exceptions such as ancient #Sparta. This city-state presented a fascinating departure from #patriarchal norm, showcasing women who were robust, independent, and well-educated.
"A more enigmatic occurrence involves the portrayal of women on Bronze Age #Crete. Several scholars concur that women held a notably dominant position compared to men. Thus, John Younger, professor of classics at the University of Kansas, noted that 'this culture on Crete around 1600-1500 BCE is the closest candidate for a matriarchy.' "

@fist The STOLPERN project and its associated city walk #recontextualized #monuments and locations in Linz, clarified their #Nazi-era connections, pointed out #antisemitic, #racist, and/or ethnic-nationalist content, and highlighted #patriarchal content that has solidified in the city over time. Existing monuments, which tell stories of a fascist and patriarchal past and present, were #contrasted with monuments that do not yet exist, whose outlines were sketched through #performative exercises.
#Women were never created from #men's ribs, not ever. It is HE who emerges from HER womb. Framing the father as the life giver is a #patriarchal lie, it's not true.
i don't care about the sexy nun trope because how is men historically forcing a group of women to 'stay pure' and cover up for God not purity culture and mysoginy, but dressing up as a sexy nun to make fun of a #historically #patriarchal #religion mysoginy.
"yes i support male #domesticviolence #victims and SA victims but #men have #patriarchal power and so they have all the resources to get out of a situation like that" i dont think you understand how domestic violence or #sexualabuse works
#terfs: "You dont GET IT! since we live in a #patriarchal #society it means that EVERY #man is responsible for upholding it and is therefore the root of ALL #EVIL!! And since men are dangerous that ALSO makes #masculinity inherently #violent!!"
#transmascs and #butches:
@DemocracyNow_Headlines_rss I think about the phrases: "break eggs to make cake", "someone's always on the bottom", "move fast and break things", "if you don't understand the game then you are the ball" etc. that are marketing for this way of being that has us struggling against each other for supremacy instead of against the #whitesupremacist #imperialist #patriarchal thought process that generates them.
Finished #reading this compelling #memoir. Told with love and deep sadness, there is no #justice in #patriarchal societies that turn a blind eye to #femicide and #intimatePartnerViolence.
