This is SOooooo good. She is brilliant. You need to listen to the whole thing.

“The man can eat the fruit and still resent the tree.”
“Ask what makes you come alive when nobody is watching and watch his memory become winter.”
“He calls your roots baggage because they prove you belong to yourself first. The body has its own handwriting for no.”
“Living things were never meant to be KEPT. You were too alive to arrange like cut flowers in a vase. What he calls difficult is your refusing to mistake his table for the earth.”
This prose is ultimately about grounding energy through the first chakra. Women have the magic of procreation naturally in our bodies. We can make a perfect little human baby 👶 whom we adore. Our children are the best thing on earth. Most mammals are like this. But some men just want that procreation ENERGY for themselves OR, the baby they can get out of you, for themselves. They never want to bond to you, respect and honor you, or work with you as an equal.
I am attracted to men, like them, I’m entertained by them, like to be protected by their big strong bodies. Sometimes they make a good friend. But many men just want our magical energy and to LUST for how we look and how we would adorn their lives with our presence. Or as a superficial status jewel if they are beta men. They use us like a trophy.
They don’t want to be soil for us or help with thorny issue when life is difficult for us. That is a relational friend. Some men can and will do this. Not very many. That is selfish and there is no love there. 💔
What she doesn’t say, that isn’t very poetic is that men tend to be transactional, repressed emotion, money and power hungry, and not relational as a human being. They can be more like a robot sometimes, or an officer in the 🪖 military.
I wasn’t raised around any of that severity so I can’t relate. But my father was a “good ole boy” to be sure and devient like most men, because they can get away with it. I need no more of the patriarchal boys club.
