This is the wonderful thing about social media; we all learn from each other.

Mezzy 🇺🇸 :

This planet is full of women and their children. Women have a hard time submitting to men because the creator does not submit to what she created. Patriarchy forces women to center men through propaganda, indoctrination, and religion. When women go through menopause - it forces them to somewhat decenter men. We have to look at life very differently. This is why men want younger women. I am happy to see that today’s young generation of women are not waiting until menopause to start decentering men, religion and patriarchy.

I Sondheim's play Into the Woods. Prince Charming says to Sleeping Beauty after he's cheated, "I was raised to be charming not sincere."

Kari.lyn🌛🌝🌜 :

its only a man's role to protect HIS woman from another man. Which is MEN period. Men always either kill and/or grape women during war. Men are dangerous. I dont trust them. Not anymore. Never again to be honest

I FIGURED THIS OUT EARLIER. I TAUGHT MY SON. TO BE BETTER.

A🍉🇵🇸🔻 :

It is not your fault. We all have been there, not being aware of our own oppression. Because society has been built to make us believe this is normal.

Sad realization!

Aaronautical :

There are phrases we don't re-examine because they made sense to a nine year old brain and we never reexamined it or so many others.🙌

H. Werner :

Matriarchy is the answer

I’m still trying to figure it out at age 80, Jean. I’d definitely choose the bear! 💙
