This idea of “changing policy” is futile. As long as patriarchy is the only choice, women are not free because our so called “choices” in a patriarch are designed by men. Self-agency is about intentionally deciding where our energy goes right? But as long as we are fighting against a patriarchy for feminine rights, we are wasting our energy and exhausting our valuable resources and it’s this consumption of our feminine energy that keeps patriarchy in power. The only way is to participate in the design of an equal Matriarchal system that serves Mothers and Children. When the women free themselves from men, men will be free from his desire to control.
Mother Lands Foundation and Villages- ia Matriarchal system - designed to build upon itself after the first initial funding- a system designed to become its own investor and philanthropist as an equal partnership to Patriarch yet a separate and sovereign entity of her own.
Love this q (and the answer it inspires): “Why do you think motherhood feels so violent and violating? Could there be a version of motherhood in some realized utopia that isn’t? What would that look like?”
Wow loved this a and a so much!! Especially this line- Both mother and wife are forms of work, not identity positions.” Why do you think these roles are venerated as lofty positions when the reality is, they are just fucking work?

I agree that it is hard to create what we need within the structures that have been designed to hold us back.
