How India celebrated Jan 1, 2019

This is what 5 million women standing up to the patriarchy look like. Today in Kerala, India, women came together to make a 620 kilometer long wall crossing all 14 districts of the state. They are demanding gender equality and justice in what is being described as the start of a new wave of feminist politics in India.

Why Don’t We Believe Women When They Tell Us They’re Sick? | Cognoscenti

Sky Priestess sage advice – The Bug – Dire Straits

The journey of awakening is not a linear path.

Sometimes you leave certain places, sometimes you return to them, sometimes you don´t.

Sometimes you make a choice or judgement from fear, and sometimes you make it from strength.

Sometimes you´re seeing things for what they are, and sometimes you´re caught up in the smokescreen.

Sometimes you want to turn the clock back, and sometimes you´ll pat yourself on the back for a choice wisely discerned.

It´s all part of the game.

This mad jumble we call Consciousness,

Desperately trying to make sense of a far vaster Creation.

Life exists beyond our perception of the immediate.

And it continues to weave through, no matter what we do.

So make your choices as best you can,

Knowing that there is – behind you – a greater hand.

Trust that you will find your way.

Blessings,

The Sky Priestess

Stop Calling Women Nags — How Emotional Labor is Dragging Down Gender Equality

I never knew this, from tracing to Germany with no discussion,

I lived with the rigidly of a partner who was critical of my every

move or non move. Asking for help when it is clearly needed ,

was part and parcel of ” marriage ” to an under developed

emotionally stuck man child . I realized he wasn’t meeting

in the middle. He worked outside the home and that’s all he

had to do. Taking a road job he was away 3 days a week,

in order to dodge responsibility ..

Sadly , many adult men were ” sheltered ” in the model of

trauma bond with mom, ” matured ” socially , but from

birth has had less emotionally grounding /bonding with

Mom, and need and deserve it ..The interactions of parents

can very will imprint the male child with fear of emotions

watching Mom treated like a servant..

Gifts were seldom a surprise , request circumvented his either

ignoring the event , or a gift that had no rhythm or rhyme .

Adult men seldom transform this naturally, many

beaten into submission by a spouse who threatens

using kids as leverage .. a huge mistake , for

seldom does a man romance or honor a woman

wife who ” mothers ” him.. the nurture of each

should be the bridge ..

The unpaid job men still don’t understand.
