pickAn excellent look at male archetypes and how they influence both men and women. I recommend reading this after Goddesses in Everywoman, though it can stand alone. There is some excellent analysis of patriarchy and its costs, though the concluding chapters about “the sons of Metis” and how we can change our society felt a bit off/outdated. (Beware, Trump is used as an example early on 🤢)

#DeadPhilosophersSociety - and a very good discussion of abusive “Sky Father” figures Abraham and Agamemnon, which is a parallel I hadn‘t made on my own.
(I know I‘m missing some tags, but I can‘t remember who else has been in the discussions recently)
#DeadPhilosophersSociety -an interesting addition to our recent conversation about those who try to limit children‘s access to education: “Cronus complex.”
“He keeps them in the dark, unwilling to expose them to the influence of people or education or values that would broaden their experience. He insists that they not differ from him or deviate from his plans for them. If a child cannot think or act independently, he or she will not be a threat.”
