Love, - SaraThe invisible system we've all been breathing our entire lives shapes everything from our love relationships to who gets silenced in society. Patriarchy isn't some abstract concept relegated to history books; it's an active force keeping women pinned down while simultaneously teaching men to swallow their emotions and vulnerability.What happens when we define this omnipresent system that feels as natural as air? Through powerful analogies like "the boot on a woman's neck," we explore how patriarchy persists despite advances in women's rights. From conservatives who deny the problem exists to well-meaning allies who try not to alienate those with power, various perspectives keep this system firmly in place. The deeply personal impacts range from workplace discrimination to sexual violence, with shocking statistics revealing that one in three women experience sexual assault in their lifetime.Yet this conversation goes beyond women's oppression to examine the "silent depression of men." With over 75% of suicides in America being male, we unpack how patriarchal expectations create isolation, emotional suppression, and dependency. The most powerful men aren't those performing strength but those brave enough to embrace vulnerability. Whether you're someone who experiences misogyny firsthand or someone looking to be part of the solution, this episode invites you to examine the air we're all breathing and take courageous steps toward change. Share your experiences, challenge harmful norms in your circles, and remember that fear isn't weakness—it's the raw material of courage. Join us as we work toward liberation from systems that limit all of us, regardless of gender identity.
