#thisis40ish While doing my courses for my degree I am required to read some pretty heavy subjects from colonialism, genocide to civil unrest. One subject hits me hard. The continued actions to destroy the matrilineal foundation of indigenous peoples. Women, indigenous women in particular have been taught to become subservient by a patriarchal culture and religious belief system (this may push some of you off) Indigenous families were never meant to be insolated from one another's influences. Aunties taught and mentored her sister's children and her husbands sisters children, uncles were not lacking on their responsibilities to their mothers clan and sisters offspring. We all took responsibility for the foundation of our childrens lives. In today's vision of urbanization and capitalism those connections seem unnatural and frowned upon. Another uncommon and unneccessary belief of a women is her place in the household. An example: moms must be with their children at all times, teaching, feeding, disciplining etc. I have seem many a movie that depicts women as this octopus woman.. managing all aspects of her life .. of course with a smile on her face and silently crying in the secret place. Society tends to vilify women that speak out.. our history is marked with tags of malicious, manipulative, emotional and confrontational. These women; Rosa Parks, Lorelei Williams, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Michelle Obama, Maya Angelou, Susan La Fleschewas a 19th-century American reformer and a physician and widely recognized as the first Native American holding a medical degree, Winona LaDuke, Eliza Burton “Lyda” Conleyone of the first female Native attorneys, and many others, have shown women around the world what leadership looks like in a male dominated society. May we continue to grow together, in unity and respect. #notamanhater #respect #givewomenachance #womeninleadership #indigenousfamily https://www.instagram.com/p/CJpm1ernITl/?igshid=bqocls2qb6m4

Seems some of y'all have forgotten (mistaken) what feminism means. Here's Webster's definition. #feminism #notamanhater #forequality #websterdictionary

I realize this is not something i typically post about. I keep my personal feelings about the world primarily to myself. "According to internal court documents, as Contreras was leaving, family court marshal Ron Fox ordered her into a waiting room for an unexplained drug search. Contreras said Fox touched her buttocks, breast, and ordered her to lift up her shirt. A later internal investigation by Clark County courts validated her claims. Contreras went back into the same courtroom and told hearing master Patricia Donninger that her requests to have a female marshal handle the search were ignored. Beyond the fact that this is a disgusting cover up of sexual assault upon a woman in a court they sent her to jail when she spoke up, in front of her child. Whats deplorable to me is that the female judge turned her back to play with the victims daughter while the entire scenario plays out in the court... that makes her an active participant. What consistently disgusts me is beyond men behaving this way; woman turning their backs on other woman; this is indefensible to me. #notamanhater #womansrights #matter
