it's wild to read how women are really fucking sick of patriarchy while men are like "wait, this rules!

Strongly recommend women read The Gate To Women's Country, by Sherri S Tepper.
@BrambleBearSnoring @susankayequinn can you tell us a bit more about why you think it's relevant?

@susankayequinn ugh. Makes me want to get out my witch broom and snack some behinds.
@susankayequinn like that of my boss who loves saying things like "women are just naturally better at childcare".

The story illustrates 1 way women build a society that actively deals with that element in male psychology, behavior, violence. As a post-apocalyptic story, some things would be very difficult to implement now. But the essential concept is worth reflecting on for anyone who can give birth.

@susankayequinn this is very much on my to read pile. I suppose saying I’m looking forward to it is not quite right. But I am.
Mine too. Saving for when I have enough equanimity stored to risk the cortisol explosion unlocking all that rage will trigger.

The Power of Women's AngerBy Soraya Chemaly
Title if someone wants to write it, or better yet we enact it- Twelve Million Angry Women

meanwhile, an entire cultural effort is being made to convince women to submit to men/patriarchy...
"traditional men want the services they believe only women should provide, such as emotional support and housework. But they also believe women are beneath them and, in fact, exist to serve them. So expressing gratitude, much less holding women in respect, is experienced as emasculating."

This book (Caliban and the Witch) makes me want to burn everything down (to be clear: it's not THE BOOK, it's the knowledge of how women were brutalized by men and the state into "accepting" patriarchy)
@susankayequinn ALL of Federici's work is enraging. Read everything she's written!

"Why is it that women are so often told to hold their anger in? It’s almost as if the world is afraid of the collective power that women possess by getting angry and speaking about their discontent with their patriarchal status."
