If patriarchy doesn't exist or is good then how did this happen??--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thisism/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thisism/support

You can't complain about the deadly effects of the system while still defending the system. Patriarchy is bad for men and women. But if you want to hold to its validity then grab ahold of its consequences with welcoming arms. You've earned them. You can be happy and free or you can be unhealthy and imprisoned. But men... you are worth more than what you do. 😉

Yet we make the shadows the important thing and spend our lives chasing something that can't be caught. In segment two I will address Good For Nothing Liars and what part we play in lies....after all you can't back a dog into a corner and then wonder why it bites you.

How we treat the seemingly insignificant is a great indicator as to how we do or will treat the weightier things in our lives. If it doesn't spark joy let it move on but if it does then it deserves the best of you. And the best of you is a version that respects not only the things and people in your life but it's a version that respect the self as well. It all begins with respecting your pencil.
