The patriarchy is a textbook example of the law of inversion: what we see isn't the truth, it's a defence mechanism. In fact, the entire system is an institutionalized defence mechanism of Venus/womb envy and it's governed by slave morality (hi, Nietzsche).
Flip what it tells you and that's when you get the truth.
In this episode, I'll discuss 5 examples of how the patriarchy hides the truth in plain sight. I encourage you to do the same with anything presented to you as \"truth\" or \"nature.\"
Make sure to watch until the end to see a little satirical skit of the patriarchy's first PR meeting
BTW you can listen to my episode the biological clock as a patriarchal myth on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube <3

🎙️ About the podcast: The patriarchy is starting to crumble, but sadly it probably won't be fully dismantled in our lifetime. In this podcast, I help women exploit the system's loopholes while finding the hidden ways the patriarchy conditions us to leak our power. Because guess what? Power isn't given, it's either taken or created. And it's time to take back the power the patriarchy stole from us.
