  1. Another one for the woman here, since you are the ones with Wombs. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYni5ZTAaQd/?igsh=MWp3dXNpNmN2bmZhaQ==
  2. This is for the women in the Forum, that as far as I can see are a few. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYngbw_FJd7/?igsh=MTUxM3M2dDdvY2R1cw== Tell me if in your experience this is not the case? I am open for perspective Also take a look in the work of Toi Marie. Even is for the sake of Requisite Variety. For me so.e members forget the concept of requisite Variety. I dont mean being able to know it all, but to at least explore others writing and voices more than the usual references shared a lot in this forum. I remember for example not knowing the work of Susan cook Croider and how being exposed to her work expanded my views. I dont assume I am the know it all in this topics I share, I am ok with some contrarian views, but to simply dissmis others voices before a depth study of them is contrarian to the very spirit of the work that Actualized.org talks about.

  4. The Matriarchal Masculine.
  5. Well, unless woman start to matching the game like this lady here https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYIaKhpBisY/?igsh=bHk5cmFxdHl2OWUy Keep thinking woman cant be brutal and maybe one day you find one that will show you you theory is not so certain.
  6. If you think Matrilinearity is something akin to this here https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYjy0NFIubG/?igsh=NGwyZDNsNnloZDVr It means you have more study to do. Matrilinearity is not the Woman version of Patriarchy.
  7. The very ideia of some people lifestylew being primitive is a colonial settler one. Phillipines for example: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYivYUTvLlG/?igsh=dnA2a2xuYzlvMzM= This ideia that the colonialist will come to help the Natives to rise up their ways of living, and all means used to bring Modernity to them are justofiable and for their own good. What if the way of living in unision with nature is actually advanced? What if the so called advanced civilizations are a entropy of what being truly advanced is? How advanced as far as I can see in old History and Daily news. How advanced to bring ecosystems to the brink of colapse, how advanced.
  8. Where did I said that returning to small, isolated primitive pre industrial era mindset? Dont strawman the issue. For sure the people engaged in study of Patriarchal Structure and Matriarchal Structure dont hold hopes to a retun of people living in Teepes,Hunting etc...
  9. I will ignore the two last non-sense rants above since I dont have maturity to debate with kids. So I will drop this here for who interested in knowing that there are Matriarchal Societies and this Societies are not about Woman domination of men, they are simply another way of governance for humans. Lets let the chimps and gorillas in their own way of living and remember that we are another line of evolution. I think is already proved that we are somehow like apes but in another level of evolution. Humans gained capacity to organize in ways that apes cant. Here is the example for study. There are stories that change the way we understand the world. Not because they are new, but because they show us that what we today consider "normal" is not the only way to organize society. In the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (North America), the clan mothers embody another way of organizing society. A society where imposition or domination over others is not necessary for "things to work." Nor is the accumulation of resources and capital a priority... it is a society where responsibility, balance and care for life are prioritized. Here the Clan Mothers nominated leaders, could remove them from power, and sustained political legitimacy. Belonging, land and community life were organized through the maternal line. 🩸 And this was not just a political structure. It was also expressed in daily life: houses belonged to women, men joined the maternal clan and, if a relationship ended, it was he who had to return to his maternal home. Life was not fragmented between the political, the economic or the spiritual: everything formed part of the same fabric. This type of organization was documented in the 19th century by Lewis Henry Morgan and Ely S. Parker, though it was also questioned and distorted at the time, partly because it deeply challenged dominant ideas about power and the place of women in society. The work of Barbara Alice Mann allows us to return to these stories from a different place, showing that maternal authority in Haudenosaunee society was not an exception, but part of a balanced system centered on life. Now let me search for relevant books, references and videos. Books Barbara Alice Mann (the author referenced in the post): Iroquoian Women: The Gantowisas (2000) — Peter Lang Publishing. The definitive work on Haudenosaunee matriarchy, now considered a classic. Daughters of Mother Earth: The Wisdom of Native American Women (ed.) — explores women's roles pre-colonization. Make a Beautiful Way: The Wisdom of Native American Women — four essays from Indigenous women on matriarchy and colonialism. Encyclopedia of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois Confederacy) (2000), co-authored with Bruce E. Johansen — Greenwood Publishing. Lewis Henry Morgan (also cited in the post): League of the Iroquois (1851) — the first systematic 19th-century documentation of Haudenosaunee society. Sally Roesch Wagner: Sisters in Spirit: Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Influence on Early American Feminists (2001) — traces how Iroquois matriarchy directly influenced the suffragist movement.

  10. Patriarchy doesn't exist because men are "naturally" superior to women; it exists because they aren't. You do not build a system of dominance that oppresses women because you're "better than them"; you build it because you know you aren't. You don't break women because you're whole; you break them because they're whole. The patriarchy is a symptom of men's fears, not power; it is a desperate process of possessing power.
  11. The concept of calling women "man haters" when they criticise and point out toxicity in mens behavior but not calling men "women haters" when they are literally k!lling, r*ping and abus!ng women on a daily basis.
  12. Stop spy on me. I was just buying Butter while I saw this: Actualized Quotes #600 https://share.google/cedPXJHs3NlLoLFeu
  13. As long as men dominate women, we cannot have love between us. that love and domination can coexist is one of the most powerful lies patriarchy tells us all, and those of us committed to ending patriarchy can touch the hearts of real men...by asking that they...become disloyal to patriarchal masculinity in order to find a place for the masculine that does not make it synonymous with domination or the will to do violence.
  14. Is hard to understand that is not all man, not all whites and not all European? No it dont take. i know a bunch of great white males from Europe that are doing a different work than the ones that are still sustaining White-Supremacist Capitalistic Patriarchy.
  15. Some Wild Woman are doing way better than many men. Takes humbleness to not be jealous but happy that they ( some of them) are living great lifes. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYUwk9ktSdm/?igsh=NWkzc2M2cGhvbWQ3 Wild Woman dont mean dirty hippies living in lack of resources. Imagine woman thriving. This ones are literally decentering men.
