We Were Not Looking by Dante Muhammad, 2026

We Were Not Looking reconstructs the world assumed by the patriarchal narratives through the environmental and political realities of the Middle Bronze Age Near East. Drawing on ancient Near Eastern geography, hydrology, land law, and tribal anthropology, the study examines how the movements of the patriarchs reflect the territorial and ecological dynamics of the Levantine corridor.

Review: Bokutachi ga Yarimashita

This theme is objectively fascinating, actually…

Writing what feels like home vs foraging for dimension in the wilderness?

For Recovering People-Pleasers: On Safety vs Writing

Writing truly opens our eyes to the safety or precarity of language.

We tend to say what feels safe (palatable or polite), in public, in daily life. But writing is the arena where all is said. And, sometimes, we don’t realise how we relate to certain things, symbols, concepts or people until we touch the language around them.

Politeness and respectability in every day life mean we remain safe and adequately accepted, though there may be some self-betrayal involved. Candidness means social contracts are broken; the way people see us, adjusted. We become exposed to rejection and attack, alliances forming against us. Our brains may tell us it will be the same after we’ve written candidly.

They create an illusion of catastrophe even when no real social fall out can happen -given that our readers are usually people who already can stomach what we write or are not repelled when they disagree with our perspective.

***

What you have trouble writing out loud tells you who that piece of writing is for -that is, who your desired audience is; usually, I write for myself but sometimes my essays feel like a one-sided conversation with my community whom I realise are steeped in cultures of male worship. Thus, I usually have trouble being candid when writing topics that take a closer look at patriarchy; I start bargaining in my writing, I start sugarcoating, reaching into my cultural conditioning, I make an utter mess of things, at worst I even start sounding like the opposite of how I talk or live in real life -which is allowed in writing but in essays it comes off as an illegal misrepresentation or cowardice.

Yet writing about any topic at all under the sun should be, among other things, a fun thought experiment. Fun in the sense that no one has to feel that it’s warranted or interesting, but some do and it’s always eye-opening to find out why they do. Cue all the books that ever got you shook yet the theme didn’t seem appealing, initially. The mind should be allowed to go where it wants and no one should be off limits. Yet it’s easier to critique religion than a group of mortals?

Still, there remains a personal mandate to say what I mean. After all, if not in writing, then where can total freedom be found? But the words get stuck at the tips of my fingers. Because it feels unsafe to let them go. Again, it’s supposed to be possible to critique all manner of characters in society just for the love of thinking -after all, everybody easily critiques women as a concept in society. But the logic of the people-pleasing subconscious is that if a topic will cause people to shut down and refuse to hear you, why would you write about it? “That alienation is too dangerous.”

Not being agreed with is neutral and then there are times when it feels like the beginning or the middle of something dangerous. At least, this is what our conditioning may say.

Learning the skill of showing up even when you cannot be safe/heard/agreed with: Apply the practice of NOT writing for an audience to all pieces and forms of writing, especially when there’s a group of people you’d like to ‘monologue with’ now or in future -if I may call this one-sided conversation that. You’ll be surprised who might decide to hear you -if that remains important after the exercise. These judgments are created despite what others are actually thinking. Social attitudes shift long before certain opinions become mainstream. Also, your own environment may be more stringent than others, leading you to project onto readers who wouldn’t have had the same hang ups as you. Forget the readers while writing, then give readers the benefit of the doubt afterwards. In fact, surrender the project. Maybe no one will read it. But you must tell the truth according to your genuine perspective, minus your conditioning.

Different writers are drawn to different topics and it is a tragedy to deprive your point of view of a theme it wants to examine. For instance, some writers may be intrigued by interrogating the rule of men and all it perpetuates in society -good, mild or bad. (Good in quotes for those in the West, good ol’ good for black African women; the former is ready to overhaul everything, the latter leans on the cultural perspective of duty, compromise and benevolent patriarchy. It’s a long story that I love to see examined because the assumed superiority of men has been the crux around which we’re all organised -not God- and it’s intriguing to see people wrap their minds around this and what it actually means, ignore it, attempt to consciously accept it, attempt to live otherwise or attempt to change it while living otherwise. It is simply interesting nomatter which way you go… especially if you distance yourself and think of it as if we were all characters in a novel.

If it wasn’t men and it was anything or anyone else it would still be interesting to dissect because imagine a world running on a core philosophy for thousands of years only for people to decide otherwise… imagine everything that could happen next.

I’m enthralled with this movie. I hope more people are starting to understand that there are more themes to explore concerning patriarchy than dating and marriage -even though that’s a major theme and will draw the most public interest. The pervasive nature of patriarchy means the mainstream has only scratched the surface.) All this to say, this is a topic like any other and should never be too hot to handle. It’s intriguing when it psychologically comes across that it is. The ‘why’ of this is worth examining and writing, whenever the conviction is there. Yes, patriarchy has real consequences; yes it fosters a culture of all forms of violence and domination from emotional to physical and yes, we all perpetuate it whether through indifference towards toxic norms or by being the -usually- man who violated somebody (girl, woman, boy, man, nonbinary). It’s crucial that some are writing about all those perspectives.

What fascinates me is how different cultures either come to terms with it or alter it and why. (I doubt it will be truly dismantled in our lifetime. And there won’t be matriarchies popping up everywhere in our lifetime, either; no, having a president who is a woman does not automatically mean matriarchy. I doubt the rule of women is wanted; rather, people seem to be leaning towards a third option…) The English-speaking Internet tends to make the modern world sound so philosophically uniform, yet it’s really not still.

For instance, it’s not really that any of the epiphanies on social media are a surprise to Africans. There’ve been feminist movements on the continent even in precolonial histories. And men and women are more obvious about their patriarchal conditioning on the continent than in the West. The intriguing thing is the brand of stoic that modern African women are about these patriarchal dynamics for various reasons and how it influences the way they’d live a movement when they do actively participate…

That said, write what you want to nomatter how personally daunting that particular topic may be to you for whatever reason, given that you’re not in any real physical danger. Challenge your psychological alarm bells because therein lies a story, or maybe a lesson on writing through resistance, or on writing without lying to yourself -which is a skill in itself.

I think some alarm bells mean that certain writers are still shy to be objective about particular topics. The key to unlocking that type of writer’s block is in finding out *why* this is even happening, why certain subjects of thought experiments are culturally supposed to be sided with -or cast aside. Suspend any assumptions you already have, and inspiration will come flooding in.

Today, I explore patriarchy as a grammatical Sorites problem. What else is now? 🧐

@Elizafox FWIW, the psychology behind wage discrimination is pretty weird.

A lot of people believe wage-paying to not be a side of a commercial transaction, as the capitalism's official doctrine says, but funding of a lifestyle "appropriate" to the labourer's social standing. And at that point, all the sexist and classist ideas about what kind of people "deserve" what levels of living come in. Oftentimes, #WageTheft is "justified" by the same mechanism: since laws require paying a Designated Poverty-Deserving Person(tm) more than poverty wage, a manager believes the laws to be wrong and deserving to be ignored. You never see a major company's CEO's wage being thieved: #Patriarchy's ideas about a CEO's expected lifestyle say that he [sic] deserves everything that he can get.

Authoritarian ideologies don't just do "It's impossible to do X, therefore it's very important to harshly punish everybody who does X", they also go "Inequity happens naturally, theferore we must work hard to ensure that inequity happens".

"And maybe queer people can show how. After all, the gay archetype encompasses more than just stereotypical titans of industry and hunky Adonises; it includes so many of society’s pivotal artists and writers and thinkers. Alienation doesn’t only spur people to conquer the system that alienated them. It can instead provoke a quest to creatively redefine success on one’s own terms."

"The irony is that a minority once viewed as filled with sissies and losers is now portrayed as filled with bullies and power brokers, and straight people, especially men, seem to perceive themselves as the weak and afraid ones. …

Maybe, as the cartoonish machismo of Trumpism proves its hollowness, America’s latent resentment can be channeled to better ends."

"During the 2020s, measures of intra-group prejudices of all sorts—racism, sexism, ageism—have been rising, according to a New York Times article about the return of homophobia by Charlesworth and her Northwestern colleague Eli J. Finkel."

"Less intuitively, the trend line of long-declining homophobia reversed, resulting in a 10-point jump for explicit anti-gay bias over that same period. …

This wave is one symptom of a broader cultural regression."

"Pollsters began noting diminishing approval for LGBTQ legal protections [in the early 2020s]. As trans issues became inescapable in polarized national politics, explicit anti-trans bias spiked 16 percent from 2021 to 2024, according to Charlesworth, Banaji, and the researcher Meriel Doyle."

"Americans are burned-out, frustrated, and hunting for scapegoats. And here [in Shia LaBeouf's assault of some gay men in New Orleans as he slung the word 'fagg-t' around] was another sign of gathering resentment toward queer people—of a new wave of homophobia rooted, in part, in the strange state of straight men."

“Abusers thrive on silence. They use decorum, respectability politics, shame, and deceit to manipulate others while abusing their targets.

One of the most powerful things we can do is disrupt this cycle by telling the truth. Shoutout to Dolores Huerta for showing us how courageous we can be when we believe in ourselves."

“The silence she kept for 60 years was not weakness. It was the impossible weight that survivors of sexual violence are forced to carry—often to protect others, often at profound cost to themselves. That she carried it while simultaneously building one of the most important labor movements in American history makes her courage almost incomprehensible."

"This [i.e., Dolores Huerta speaking out about her sexual abuse by Cesar Chavez] is an important opportunity to think about how movements for civil rights and social justice are not immune to the patriarchy and all its violence. There is no place for violence against women and gender non-binary people in the fight for economic and racial justice."

"I'm speaking to other men like what the heck are we doing as young boys, teenagers, young men, people who achieve a level of wealth, status, power that this is acceptable? ...

Because ultimately this has to come down to guys telling other guys, "Hell no. No, this cannot be acceptable.'"

"When these occurrences happen, which is tragically frequently, I find myself wondering what is going on in male culture that breeds this mindset. It's a systemic thing. This is affecting men who are wealthy and poor, white, black, and people of color in sall different sectors and fields. And it's like what the heck are we doing?"

"But these days, as opposed to Cesar Chavez’s days, when women’s rights lagged behind other civil rights advances, there’s a lot more of it in conservative religious settings that intentionally elevate men above women, use harsh parenting to teaching children to unquestioningly obey authority, and restrict women’s roles."

"Because whether you’re talking about Cesar Chavez or Joseph Duggar—that’s right, a second Duggar son has been arrested for the sexual abuse of children—it’s all the same thing.

It’s patriarchy. It’s the abuse of power. It’s some people being assigned a lesser value than other people.

It can happen anywhere, and it does."

"I’ve seen a few more conservative types commenting on the Chavez story with something akin to, “See, abuse happens in liberal circles, too.” And that’s true, it can, and it does.

But this kind of statement is also misleading."

"If Chavez was anything like legions of other men, including Epstein and Pelicot, then he abused and raped girls and women out of the arrogant belief that he had the right to — that their experience of his crimes did not matter. That they did not matter in their bodily autonomy, their dignity, or their personhood."

"We have, in the Chavez case, an important reminder that even progressive politics and the passionate belief in certain kinds of justice is no bulwark against the misogyny that envisages girls and women as, effectively, human property."

"We are taught to hold everything together, to sacrifice ourselves, to endure quietly for the greater good. In Dolores’s own words, she stayed silent for her family, her community, and the farmworker movement to which she devoted her life.

Pues ya basta. Enough is enough."

"And yet, some will still ask the familiar, painful question: Why did she stay silent for so long?

The answer is both simple and devastating. This is what too many women do — especially Latina women. We are raised to be caregivers before anything else; protectors of our families, our children, our communities."
