Ignorance IS willful! Grasp the roots.

Love the channel, love the conversation (so important) and would love to see a video reflecting on why with all that we know, non-WOC are NOT willing to do the work.

Great video

I loved the thought of doing a pilgrammage, and realized I do that with my creative writing. I've created immortals and connected with Hel from Norse mythology, as she was a scapegoat who shows so many signs of depression. By connecting with my idea of what she is (as there's not a lot of information that I've found), I can feel power in my shadow work. As the shadows of the feminine nature are so brilliantly beautiful, we can turn Helheim into a place of rest after a long hard life. Of course, "evil" people would need a little spirit work before they can rest. I wouldn't want to be stabbed in the afterlife. LOL

You young ladies, give me hope, but the only people who can stop racism are the ones who created it. How many generations of our people, people of color, have to go through this? Their children are born out of hate. They teach others to hate. They teach us to hate ourselves the way they hate themselves. White women are going to have to deal with their white men. If the true project 2025 does come to pass we will no longer have to see white women working in a lot of places, but being more abused at home with their masculine husbands. Maybe then and only then will they learn. I hear so many Republican women talking against feminism while they’re working outside the home it’s crazy. They’ll see what they voted for.

I grew up in a Pentecostal home, where my mom bashed feminists, while at the same time doing things feminists allowed her to do, like go to college and have a career. I've learned over time that I'm a feminist. I care about equality, compassion, healing, thriving, inspiring, and changing the energy of the world through artistic expression. I've watch two of your videos this morning, which have helped me put some of my thoughts in alignment. Thanks so much for this!

I'm so glad I found your channel! Following from Italy, I'm not only learning a lot about patriarchal structures and beliefs, but also deepening my knowledge of American history. I'd like to thank you for your calm, compassionate, well-researched approach - it's incredibly helpful for me to deal with painful issues without getting too intensely triggered. Keep up the great work: you're making a difference.

EXACTLY, WE ARE EXHAUSTED!! Thank you for sharing 🖤

White women love black women so much that they hijacked Tarana Burke's "Me Too" movement. This woman's narrative is more of that.

Yep. Those women almost definitely have endured decades of abuse, neglect, oppression from those men, too.

The answer is simple: Because people in power usually don’t wanna lose it.

No.. BLACK women specifically 🙄 WOC are not allies to us. They have shown us as well.

The Votes were stolen so we really don’t have a true picture of the outcome. Everything and Everyone voted for trump just didn’t happen!

I didn't embrace the term feminist until a few years ago. I wasn't against feminism in any way. It's just that "feminism" wasy mom's thing. And complicated familial relationships aside, her idea of feminism did border on man hating....and yet she still dated men and simped to them when she did. It was all very gross and hypocritical. So I was like "I'm pro-woman, but not a feminist". But now that I'm 50 I'm more able to separate my mom's feminism from the archetype and embrace the word. I've always been a feminist. It just took me a while to make peace with the word.

Loved and lol, how cool it is when you do something ancient, that was not taught to you or erased, and you naturally or organically did it.

White women have done a lot of damage to women of color. This includes white women in power positions and/or those who have a significant other that can help drive positive change for all women but particularly women of color who’ve given their lives to others first often neglecting themselves and their families. It’s time for white women to step up and regain the trust of those who have whole heartily supported them for many many years. It’s way over due.

BLACK WOMEN ARE EXHAUSTED!!! WOC hasn't done SHIT!!!!

Men were never meant to lead, they're meant to be our warriors. Talen it back from the beginning.

I don’t believe that patriarchy is natural or inevitable. Generally, I believe that sexual differences, unless there is strong evidence otherwise, are social instead of biological. It does seem that men are somewhat stronger than women. It also seems that men are more violent than women, look at the much larger percentage of murders committed by men than those committed by women. This may not have been that significant when human communities were small and property and status might then be passed down through the mother because one might not be sure who one’s father was but would know who their mother was. This could have changed when communities became larger about 10000 years ago. This also may have been the reason for strict laws against adultery, which originally forbid only sex between a married woman and a man other than her husband. Adultery laws may have come about so men could be sure their children were theirs and so property, status and power might then be passed down through the father. So, men being somewhat stronger than women, possibly more violent and due to the laws against adultery could have led to the predominance of patriarchy. Tom,

Least protected and least supported! Black men GET OFF OUR BACKS!

New to this channel. ARE YOU 2 BLACK? Just asking

Thank you

Thank you for this video and page. Bless you. Women of Caucasian decent please 🙏🏾 truly hear us.

As a 60+ Black woman I can say with an absolute surety that Black women have no allies - period!!! Also BLACK women/people are NOT people of colour! We are Black!!! To lump us in with POC further takes away our agency, autonomy and TRUstories. Why are we always lumped in with "q#eer"? I'm ambidextrous. Does that make me "q#eer"? As a Black woman, why are we sitting at the table with wh#te and non-Black women to discuss Black women's/Black people's issues?

Black women should be ashamed of themselves for creating an intersectional coalition between them, white feminist women, gays, trans & illegal immigrants. They should have remained united with the Black Man in their fight against white supremacy. As a result of Black women breaking ranks with the Black Man, the legitimacy and moral authority of The Civil Rights Movement has been destroyed. Now, we have nothing because of the Trojan Horse you built. Now, gay is the new Black and the trans voice is the loudest voice of Civil Rights all thanks to you.

Thank you ladies for this information about patriarchy, please don't ever take this down the book references are extremely helpful.

No gonna lie, I’ve been deconstructing like crazy, on the verge of deconversion actually because of just how women are treated as second-class citizens or less of a human in the Bible and church, in almost every Abrahamic religion and others as well. They’d say things like how men and women are equal but have “different roles” but when you realize that women are barred from nearly every leadership role (pastor, preacher, bishop, priest, deacon, cardinal, etc.), and relegated to a position of subservience/submission to men, I genuinely had to take a step back and think “well, what’s the point in even believing if this religion has men and boys more prized than women?” And that’s not even getting into the Old Testament, where a woman could be stoned for “not being a virgin.” Nevermind that not only is the “proof of virginity” not even remotely reliable (since women don’t always bleed women they lose their hymen, or even lose their hymen at an earlier point), but men weren’t held to the same standard since it was the women who were property. And this was just one out of several things.!

You are exactly right. Feminism is about equality. Tom,

Discover and read Dr. Tommy Curry. His insights on feminism in particular white feminism will open eyes. Curry explores the appalling racist beginnings of the feminist movement. Racism is the ultimate deal breaker. It’s ludicrous to side with a group of bigoted people and think they are allied with you.

I thank you, for even trying to understand all races of pain how can we advocate if we have no understanding

White women look out for other White women no matter WHAT!! They also stand up for White Men, because they know in order for them to keep their white privileges / white Status, they MUST stand with white men even if they don't always agree with white men policies, decisions , or if these white men are wrong. And why would they do that?? White women know they are praised world wide and treated mostly in public better than other women and they do not want that to go away because at least they're not treated worst than other women overall. They understood the assignment from birth. White women were raised by these men ( fathers, uncles, brothers , cousins and neighbors) They secretly know what these males are capable of and do not want any part of that fear and wrath to come down on them, so they closed their mouths and look the other way and will continue to comply with wrongful behavior because at least things will be peaceful and easier for them. They only help women of color when they have too, When it makes them look Good, or when other white women or white families do not except them but as soon as they're excepted back they will retrieve back to their old ways again. It's a heart, mind and soul situation. Only God Almighty and His Word can make real change. Agape Love , that love that goes beyond color or creed. Black people will continue to be Blessed, Strong, Inspiring, Rich, Resilient , Creative, Have Morales, and Values because it is INSIDE of us. Yes quite a few of us black people have been traumatized and LED astray but if ever giving a real chance to get back to their Roots, treated fairly, play on an Equally playing field and Resist the temptations to sell their souls they will become a brand new people.

Don’t spend your precious energy on anyone who doesn’t cherish it. We are out here fighting. 💚💯🙏✊

There is a right word for woman hating men or thinking they are superior to men, and the word is "femism". It is the exactly like "machism" but in a woman view. This word is kinda taboo, no one knows this term and mix it with feminism at least a lot of men confuse these two words. And in reality machism has been so ingrained in society and normalised, I really don't understand why femism is not and it is viewed like a horrible thing. The history of humanity was build on a machist ideology, and I guess now it is time for femism to exist too!

Patriarchy is a word used by useless women who have nothing to offer other than looks. Get mad

White women would rather put the worse white man in office than a qualified black woman. That tells me all i need to know. I'm protecting my peace and will never trust white women again. Lesson learned.

I believe that white women don’t take time to learn the history of women of color nor try to dig deep to understand who we are as a people and they have little interest in wanting to learn about us and they rather pull out information of women of color to teach them instead of really doing their own homework and research themselves. It’s so sad that we’re constantly stereotyped as being lazy but honestly they are thee most laziest there ancestors never had to work as hard as any other person of color but yet show up year after year in America always being on the wrong side of history everytime they have no backbone. They have no identity of self or history besides steal kill and destroy instead of being a change or indifferent or possibly being on the right side of history they have the same history repeating itself and we have seen this over the course of the years in America of white women who never do what’s right. Also to add look up Kimberly Jones said it best about the analogy of monopoly and how America is lucky that black Americans aren’t asking for revenge for what’s happened to us. Black Americans have been over due for being tired and underpaid, overworked and left out when we didn’t come here on our own terms and built up an entire country. America has never welcomed us and has also trained others to be against us as a people.

I don't know why women of color are exhausted - but I do know why African Americans are - they have been fighting against this system for over 400 years.

9:00 I have trouble following this advice, But it's important to remember just how dark the world has been for millennia. The moment right now .. is so confusing here in the states .. we don't know our place in the future or present But the world is better as a whole than ever before in human history. May we bring that progress back home, or die in peace when we have fought until our end. Blessed be🪻

The problem now is can the black women and black men come together as one we have to work so much harder right now

🚨🚨🚨🚨 man has talents and passion for ​​football should not suppress them, but rather develop it and become a sports player, whether is married or not but woman has talents and a passion for ​​football, acting, science and invention, art, and medicine..to not become an athlete, an artist, or a scientist, to suppress them and throw them in the trash, sit at home cooking and cleaning and obeying, watching it innovate and flourish in what she was deprived of, suppressed, and excluded from !!!!! man has passion and talents in fashion design not suppress them, but rather develops and nourishes them and becomes a fashion designer but woman has talents, passions and capabilities in fashion design, colors and fashion to not develop and nourished tem and become a fashion designer but to suppresses them and throws them in the trash can and stay at home cleaning and cooking watching him innovate and flourish in what he was deprived of, suppressed and excluded from !!!!! Women are human beings with a mind, intelligence, passion, talents and great potential. It is their nature, their right, their duty and their natural need to develop and grow them so that they can advance scientifically and flourish with their talents, potential and intelligence continuously. Science, arts, sports and politics do not suppress, undermine or eliminate them because of their gender or for any other reason. There is no reason for suppression and exclusion. Home is not a woman's place. Home is the burying of women, their oppression, enslavement and exclusion on the margins of reason, civilization and the world. Women belong to the world in all its scientific, literary and artistic fields, not to the home. We should stop burying women on the margins of reason and civilization.

We are gonna take care of ourselves for a while. Y'all good. Historically, white women have not been willing to allow a crumb to fall from their table in fear that it will feed another woman.

PLEASE GOD DO NOT ALLOW THIS HISPANIC ASIAN IMMIGRANT WOMAN NARRATE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH WHITES! They were never ever our friends, and the Hispanic woman were especially hateful towards black woman recently. This is an evil desperate tactic. Trying to align black woman with them, now that their butts are on the line. WE DO NOT NEED THEM! WE DO NOT SIT WITH YOU MS. MARIA. WE ARE AMERICANS. You are on your own. Just like we were. BLACK WOMAN DO NOT FALL FOR THIS! WE DO NOT NEED THEM! YOU WERE WORSE THAN A WHITE WOMAN! Remember that.

We have been shown time and time again we (Black women) are on our own. No more explaining or trying to build bridges with others! 92%

I think it’s black women tired period! So called women Of color don’t have our experience

I love watching you so far, even if some people just take it as patriarchy bad type of video that some would praise and some would hate, from what I have seen in the comments. So far you seem more open minded and trying to avoid logical fallacies that many feminists do, I never really liked feminist activists as they don't seem to want to cooperate for egalitarian society, rather infighting with men because patriarchy is bad and insulting indiscriminately , just because society doesn't want to just turn the scales too hard so the world would be as bad as it was in the past with coming of religion, many people turn from feminism, because it doesn't seem like a fight for equality anymore and more like a redemption war, some women prefer patriarchy and some would like matriarchy. But I believe with abolition of connection between state and religion, people are progressively working on egalitarian society generation by generation, it seems to work also because there are less reasons to be at war today as the risks are too high and the things to earn from it are not as rewarding as from trade and cooperation. There are still unfortunately people who are misogynistic, but to be honest as generations overgrow the previous we take the "wife obedience" less seriously and see how cooperation in the same acts, allows us to grow as an individuals and make hobbies make sense for men as well, not just a loss of time as it was in the past. I still kinda am sceptical, but that is healthy, I would love if we could promote families and wellfare, without fighting for who will lead them and rather make it equal with the understanding of biological differences, but not disregarding the ability of the other person to do the same, even if men are born workers and women are born mothers we shouldn't stop the other from helping the former or also abnormalities exist and some are just not part of the larger group, which i believe was started from individualism that made it posibble for feminism to emerge (please correct me if you have problem with what i wrote as I am not hear to hate on anyone, just to learn and maybe debate to help in allowing for further cooperating behaviour in the world)

Where’s Leatha’s socials? Weren’t they supposed to be linked?

Another great video. Thank you for making these well explained historical points. The danger is that so many people have been brought up in these faiths that it is difficult to question them. Tom,

"Watching wt women keep making the same mistake over and over again." It's not a mistake. Y'all have got to be honest first.

Black Woman are resting, repairing and preparing to lead and guide or black children going forward and nobody else

I'm a Black woman who went to SMU in Dallas. My minor was Women's Studies and I've never heard of this book but I am getting a copy. Today. 🤯
