RE: EcoTrain Question Of The Week: What Is Patriarchy,Is a patriarchy the same as a society led by men, or is it more, a society led by fear and a feeling of scarcity, that happens ..........

Women have suffered so much inequality, aggression, disrespect. Children are not shown any respect, given any choice in how they are raised.

could not agree more. the saddest part is that it hurts all of us, but so often men and women rail against the word patriarchy as if it's some type of disease, when it hurts all of us... i do believe it is slowly balancing, but it still pervades so much of the culture. great article <3

thank you @mountainjewel it sure is a huge question to answer, there is so much to talk about, I chose to talk about the affect it mainly has in the presence, but honestly could have written alot more, but I just don't have the time with 3 kids. xx

i hear ya! i sat down to start writing my response this morning and was amazed at what a can of worms it felt like unpacking! it's such a big subject, it takes all of us together to really get at it... which is why i love #ecotrain. i suppose i'll have to think of it that way as my own response feels like i could say so much more.... <3

yeah I hear you it would be impossible to cover it all but collectively I think we will x
