Lot of them (at least of prior generations) internalized that misogyny and think it’s their place. Disgusting to see.
Set up audio for a Bible study of 70+ year old women. Shit you not the video they were watching said “you know sometimes our moods are like the cloths in our closets”
The look in the crowd was not horror but nodding along.
When I was in healthcare a co-worker and I were chatting with a patient while setting up a blood draw. She said she was in an engineering program at (local school).
My co-worker told her how brave she was because “You know us women aren’t good at math.”
My co-worker was a 40 something nurse practitioner with three daughters. You just know this otherwise very smart woman is going to pass that thought disease down to her kids.
that’s the thing with hegemony. it’s so pervasive in how it programs you that you don’t even see it. you’re not even aware there are alternatives until someone jostles you awake. we live in a patriarchal white supremacist christofascist society. the enforcers of this status quo don’t all even understand that these are not genetically imparted truths inherent to our living situations, but rather social constructs enforced on us.
and i’m sure i have hegemonic blind spots too. i try my best to see out into the world and hear perspectives that aren’t my own so i can have access to the full truth. i fall short sometimes. none of us can see all things everywhere. the best you can do is have patience with sleep walkers who are non violent threats, protect people from violent threats, and be open to the idea that you can be wrong, and hope that by living with kindness and compassion you can do your part to create the enlightened society we all dream of, even the christofascist followers, where all are free.

Dumbass here. What does that phrase about moods and clothes mean? that a proverb ?
