It's kind of like slapping yourself in the face when you realize you're part of the problem. I think we are all guilty to some degree. We have been patriarchied almost to death all our lives. Up with the matriarchy! And let's wear whatever the fuck we want as we rise.

Excellent article, and I agree with this so much. We've been conditioned to view each other as competition because if we all gathered together and lifted each other up, my god, we would shine so brilliantly that the patriarchy would combust in flames. Here's to us lifting each other up!

Excellent read! I’ve been working understanding and undoing the conditioning over the past few years and it’s sooooo deep.

@jameelajamil opened my eyes to the subject via media’s treatment of women and how they feed the mean girl fire.

Your post feels like a flick in the forehead to keep learning. Thank you!
