  1. As Explaning what Matriarchy or Matrilinearity is seems difficult here since there a big Male Bias on the Forum, I will drop this here with no explanation at all. Just watch and make your own self reflection. When we are fish in the ocean we dont even question the ocean anymore.
  2. So do it.
  3. Dont people here share many things they find everywhere online? Even Leo gura in his Blog? Isn't this a online forum? Look for Bell Hooks work and confirm if the infomation given by AI dont match her work. I dont need to reinvent the wheel. A lot of work was done by many people. We are here to learn or what? And dont tell how to post. You do you as was told to me many times here.
  4. Thank you for bringing this distinction. Without this it is hard to understand many things. Here for more research for the truly interested ones: White capitalist patriarchy is a concept made famous by visionary Black feminist scholar and cultural critic bell hooks. It is a framework that asserts race, gender, and class do not exist in isolation, but instead intertwine to form an overarching system of oppression.The interconnected elements of the term include: White Supremacy: A socio-political system asserting that whiteness holds inherent structural power, normalcy, and dominance. Capitalism: An economic framework that prioritizes infinite wealth accumulation and profit, often relying on the exploitation of marginalized labor. Patriarchy: A social structure where men hold primary power, dictating norms around gender roles, caregiving, and authority.By linking these three systems, theorists explain how interlocking oppressions reinforce each other to maintain the status quo. For example, the economic pursuit of profit (capitalism) often relies on the underpaid or uncompensated domestic labor of marginalized women (patriarchy and white supremacy). For an in-depth breakdown of bell hooks’ original framework and how she analyzed these intersecting systems of power:
  5. How is Patriarchy dealing with all this? Why do you think we have all this to beging with?
  6. If you are asking this questions you need more research to do. Here a link with even a event you can participate to inform yourself better. Another tendency in this forum is people coming for free lunch. You do you, dont put on me the burden to dismantle from your mind the bias. If the topic is important to you go for it if not there are other aspects of reality to deal with. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYOEi-Bj7Py/?igsh=MW4yanJrbnZ4cHRnaQ==
  7. Sitting Bull knew who he was dealing with when the Empire Arrived at Turtle Island. What you see today in America is a continuation of what Europe was dealing with Sitting Bull quote: Hear me people: We have now to deal with another... https://share.google/U1vp3AcmcmUVHUF17 Not forgeting that Orignal Indigenous had no problems at all. The now called American Continent had their own sort of Domination, Astec Empire for example. But what came from the sea was something different.
  8. I will move just a bit the topic here from sytemic structural to internal and personal. Not that the structural stop to exist but because is a interplay. This post here invites to inner self reflection. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYchECllGJp/?igsh=aXI5djczOGM3YTBk Here the concept of "otherness" is applied in relation to woman. Relational skill are a important part of all. Many indigenous leaders say we are not aliens from nature, we are nature. The issue is not a lack of connection with nature but the ways we relate with it, with all different forms that we consider not being "us" or in the post case " not being man" . Some people like the woman from the book "Breading Whitegrass" call, kinship, or more than human, in the case of wolfs,ants,bats,plants,water and anything that we say that is not human. So the topic of non-differentiation enters here as well. Read the instagram post first before reacting to this text otherwise your answer will be out of context.
  9. You somehow is rigth on your claims. Of course some woman co-opt patriarchy and consciously of unconsciously live and work to maintain it rolling, mainly women that directly benefit from it. For example many MAGA woman. See the woman around Trump, mostly white. They are shotting themself on the feet but they assume they gain a lot from it in short term. The Truth is that White Patriarchal Colonial Capitalism dont serve neither man neither woman in the healty sense of the word. Even feminists have internalized aspects of Patriarchy inside their psyche. Check this aspect for example https://www.instagram.com/p/DYcVib5gALM/?igsh=MW0za2h1eTlzbmIzbw== The truth is that one dont dismantle a system using the same tools used to build it. One truly risk becaming a monster while trying to destroy a monster. Thats why is not easy. Most people feel in love for their shackes. Because serves short term survival.
  10. The Natives from what today is America knew something the white man insist in ignore. Sitting Bull even was able to affirm that white man have one talent that is valuable. But also was able to see the wound or the blindspot. "The white man knows how to make everything, but he does not know how to distribute it. — Sitting Bull
  11. Good, watch the video and bring value to the conversation. Saying things obvious like " Keep in mind that if everyone on the forum is so easily deluded, as you claim, then you could be too. No matter how many YouTube videos you watched" is already a repetitive inefficient behavior on the Forum leading nowhere, since as far as God Realization wise we are all delulu. It dont stop us to be constructive in out efforts to bring systemic change in society even if is only in our own local surroundings. Delulu or not we have things we get involved socialy. If this topic interest you engage and bring value otherwise just dont be a prick.
  12. I will not explain how you are wrong. You do you. Look for more Requisit Variety. Read more, study more.
  13. This move would be a Patriarchal move.
  14. Thank you for this one.
  15. In this thread I dont aim to deal with Matriarchy. I was very clear that I had try this on other threads and in vain. So, here is to go the other way. To Expose the current System.
  16. This is cheap commentary. You try to be funny, good but this miss the point of how the system depend from this unpaid work to sustain itself. There are deep research in this topic only. Do it if you care.
  17. As a bonus study video watch this one where you can see some of the things the first video points towards. In this video here also take a look in a issue called " unpayed care work" because we cant forget that for society to exist as it is there are woman taking care of kids. So is very strange that Rigth-Wing preach "Make more Babies" when at same time knowing that the capacity to care for those babies are extremely hard. And again very suspicuos that Pedofile leaders are also pro woman having more kids. Maybe they fear having a lack of material for their pervertry.
  18. A post on how Psicadelic Renassence is being co-opted by even Rigth-Wing Ideology. This issue is being debated in many Psicadelic groups. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYVbwS_kccn/?igsh=MTZkODhmaW9wNG1ncg==
  19. This a long substak post. I good that is long a complex because this way this post will avoing the usual commenters who just jump into the talk to be a contrarian. So my friends read it all and bring deep grounded opinions. Otherwise I may invite the writer into the Forum to answer the objections. Have a good read. https://sorayachemaly.substack.com/p/26-decentering-men-is-not-misandry?r=71pq&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=ig&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAdGRzdgRoFHVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA81NjcwNjczNDMzNTI0MjcAAafqlzvBCQBnkU2KXpOrHl14-naCDwVbLic27je-mfnktVeN3Xzxavk6nB_RXA_aem_xdnrRbB7tl1XWIRmHWpeIw&utm_id=97760_v0_s00_e0_tv3_a1dennhcopqa1q&triedRedirect=true A small part to sparkle the curiosity: . No One Told Men the Floor Was Made of Women On decentering men, loneliness, men's desire for recognition, and why persistently misdiagnosing men's crises is making everything worse for everyone Soraya Chemaly Last week, German police association chief Dirk Peglow provoked a heated public debate when he announced, only partially joking, that, to be safe, women should “not get into a relationship with a man. If you do, the risk is much higher of becoming a victim of psychological or physical violence.” He is essentially saying how much sense it makes for women to avoid men as much as possible. This, if you think about it, is a way of suggesting that women…decenter men. Peglow, who was threatened for his efforts, later explained. “It was not meant as advice to be taken literally. The overwhelming majority of men are not violent and are not criminals.” Man meet bear. Bear meet man. Until relatively recently, most women could do very little to mitigate the risks posed by men, known or unknown. Today, however, women are increasingly able to distance themselves from men with more deliberation and intent, which is the officer’s suggestion. Formally or informally, women are decentering men, even if they never use that word. This is not because women actively hate men but because women have access to the education, money, birth control, some reproductive rights, and legal standing that make male centrality and approval optional rather than necessary. It turns out that for a variety of reasons, it’s easier for women to live without men than the other way round. No one, no society, prepared men for this reality or changes in women’s status and their effects on gender relations. This is true despite gender norms for women evolving continuously over a century. In fact, most parents have protected boys from this shift, opting to teach most how to be men in much the same way their fathers and grandfathers were taught. Every generation of girls, on the other hand, had to adapt to a new reality. But the real problem, the deepest cut, is that no one told men that the floor was made of women. Not the floor of the family household, managed and maintained by unpaid domestic and child care. Not the floor of the economy, held up by unpaid and low-wage care work that kept social reproduction artificially cheap and racial hierarchies in check. Not the floor of men’s emotional lives, built on women’s emotional and hermeneutic labor. Not of men’s protecting and sense of courage, made possible by women’s fear and silent, vigilant risk-bearing. Not of men’s purpose, which required women’s public and economic purposelessness to be evident by contrast. Not the floor of masculine identities, which begin with women’s reliably provided recognition. Lastly, and critically, not the floor of men’s public authority and power, which depends on violently or coercively suppressing women’s public voices, participation, and desire for authority. This operates at every level, but, as a reader pointed out, in the United States the floor is Black women, the people whose bodies have most absorbed its violence, and whose political organizing has repeatedly changed the nation but has never been rewarded (TY Barry LaFleur). Their reproductive, domestic, economic, political labor infrastructure beneath every other group's ascent, including white women's provision of care and support to white men. Additionally, to make things even worse, equality was supposed to mean women being treated like men, not men being treated like women. Today, more men are expected to do things that women have always had to (emotional work and child care); to work the way women have always had to (precariously, with flexibility, with less security and lower wages); to modify their bodies to meet market needs (“looks maxxing,” disordered eating, plastic surgery); to move through public space with heightened awareness of how they are perceived, what they can say, and whether they are safe; to manage their desirability as a condition of their worth; and to absorb institutional indifference to their suffering without complaint, subject to the whims of far more powerful elites. The difference is that men are expected to do all of this while supporting a system that is simultaneously telling them that being a man means never having to do any of it at all. Men, much of the culture still insists, are supposed to make money (see “wallet dads”), be strong, pursue status, do whatever it takes to provide, protect, and procreate. Women’s role was to do whatever needed doing to make this possible and that is no longer true. I can imagine, if I were a man, being put out by what I’m saying, by the policeman’s suggestion, by the discomfort my generalizations may provoke. But, in fact, free associating, I resent my own imagining because, frankly, so relatively few men have ever seemed genuinely willing or capable to do the same in return — imagine being a woman, on behalf of women.
  20. This video point out to the existence of Matriarchy or in better term Matrilinear Cultures. So for now on I would like the dismissive ones open up to the value of such cultures. Of course we came up with what we have today by many factors, some explained in this video So for the curious one I recomend go make deeped research in this topic. You can Check the History of Crete and the Minoans for example, there is a clue there.
  21. I became aware of this from a Influencer I follow on IG that work with somatic work. Here is the original post. https://www.instagram.com/p/DW1488pDCrv/?igsh=MWs2ZnQwMTY2OWg0eQ== More about it in this link scholar.google.com.br/scholar_url?url=https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/17/23/3735&hl=pt-PT&sa=X&ei=9GjVac2JIrGWieoP_oCouAs&scisig=ADi0EEUsVwulzQrJa05X6u9hXt9W&oi=scholarr https://share.google/cpshBTkCIx5gzea8o
  22. Well, of course that by now no crazy corrupt thing surprise us anymore but this is in the news now. Exposing a global ‘online rape academy’ that is teaching men how to abuse women and evade detection https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2026/03/world/expose-rape-assault-online-vis-intl/index.html
  23. MAGA in the past They always existed https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWg3uL3jrSH/?igsh=MWFvbmJ5eHpzMjBvdQ==
