Each time we designate a time and place for present conversations, honest dialogue, and active listening, we are one step closer to #postpatriarchy.
Last nights prompt: How do you embody masculine and feminine energy at this stage in your life and which do you want to cultivate more of? Here’s a visual representation of the process.
‘In a post-patriarchy world, I would think about what was behind the picture and not how I’m displayed in front.’ ‘In a post-patriarchy world, I would think about way more when I see these pictures than “back when I was beautiful”. ‘I can only imagine what all women, all beings, could do in a post-patriarchal world.’

Repost @debbiemillman // thank you for sharing @aminatou brilliance:
"It is just not helpful to point out disparities and also be complicit in creating them... If you're around horizontally and you look at your peers you can put your resources together... If you don't accept the mentality of scarcity and you don't accept when you are a marginalized person or a minority, that anyone who looks like you in the workplace is your competition... you're actually gonna get very far... These are messages that capitalism and patriarchy tell you over and over again, there's only room for one of you, you're supposed to compete with each other and while you're competing for the scraps other people are building wealth, they're building the future, they're doing amazing things and if you just look around and just say actually we hunt in a pack, we are stronger, which I think is so true for women, you will get to where you're trying to get to so much faster.”
In ancient pre-Judeo/Christian civilizations temples were built to honor the goddesses. The bulls head represented the female reproductive system, the source from which human life flows. There’s so much to learn of our future by understanding the past.
#PostPatriarchy is teens telling adults to shut up and listen.
Layne Redmond’s seminal work illustrates the pre-Judio/Christian matriarchal and goddess cultures that were prevalent in early city settlements throughout the Middle East and Europe. The women held frame drum and it’s powerful earth rhythms and traditions acts as a literal frame for pre and post patriarchal societies.
“At the end, as at the beginning, stands the archetypal power of the Divine Feminine - The Goddess. She is our future as she was our past. With her drum in hand, playing her sacramental rhythms, women can once again take their place in the world as technicians of the sacred. In the pulse of my drum, in the beat of my heart, I erect an altar to her forever.” - Layne Redmond 1952 - 2013
Thank you Lady King Collage for sharing your vision of the post-patriarchal world with your piece ‘Women in Science’.
This is the post-patriarchal world envisioned by the brilliant poet, teacher and writer Caroline Rothstein
