In the last few years I have done a lot of reading, researching and forming strong opinions about women and the struggles we have endured. That is when I discovered patriarchy. It was a word I was familiar with but I didn't really know what it meant. In simplistic terms, it's giving men the benefit of the doubt at the expense of women. Hence, why there is so much focus on what a woman is wearing when she is sexually assaulted or how much she had to drink. The woman is the one who has to prove that she didn't want to be assaulted or ask to be assaulted and it's beyond absurd. But that's how we've been conditioned. 

​

It's time to change that aspect and break free of the patriarchal chains that are holding us back and setting us up for a life intended to make everyone else's life better at the expense of our own comfort and happiness. I never realized how patriarchy touches every aspect of our lives and how much we have been duped into doing exactly what the system needs to keep men in charge and women in submission. Not anymore. It is time to end the patriarchy party.
