learning about ecofeminism empowers me in a patriarchal society
wings are lighter
ecofeminism for me is about reconnecting with my feminine, nurturing and playful side in a society that underestimates and forgets the importance of such qualities.
ecofeminism for me is about communicating freely without repressing or judging myself or others. it helps me honor myself, my life and my cycles.
i want to reclaim the feminine spirit for women and men alike
we both need balance just the same, the sun and the moon in equal measure,
bell hooks was my first conscious connection to feminism and i relate to her books a lot
here are some quotes, if they resonate with you, you should read her books. they are liberating and inspiring. she touches on many really interesting topics such as education, culture, patriarchy and sexuality in a deep, respectful, loving, caring, compassionate and bold way
"love is an action, never simply a feeling"
"If I were really asked to define myself, I wouldn’t start with race; I wouldn’t start with blackness; I wouldn’t start with gender; I wouldn’t start with feminism. I would start with stripping down to what fundamentally informs my life, which is that I’m a seeker on the path. I think of feminism, and I think of anti-racist struggles as part of it. But where I stand spiritually is, steadfastly, on a path about love"
"all advocates of feminist politics know most people do not understand sexism or if they do they think it is not a problem. Masses of people think that feminism is always and only about women seeking to be equal to men. And a huge majority of these folks think feminism is anti-male. Their misunderstanding of feminist politics reflects the reality that most folks learn about feminism from patriarchal mass media"
i like this image a lot! i thought i would share it with you
