I found that I want to think of this as “we already know what’s up”, and instead of waiting for the next crumbles to be dropped we need to take action.
be that boycotting big tech, trash food, or talking about the disgusting facts, helping kids (and ourselves) getting away from our phones, and leaen how to “human” again. or demonstrations, or flyers to inform people in easy language. replace one meal a week with a vegan one. any small change helps.

yeah that last point you mention is huge. thank ya
“I’m open to the idea of women only spaces if they serve a function”
and those people know that.
so what exactly is the problem with women only safe spaces?
sure: when (and that is quite often unfortunately) women who seek these spaces have been abused by men repeatedly and can’t risk another trauma trigger.
and feminist men know where they’re welcome. so it’s rarely (in my own experience never) truly feminist men who want to join those spaces because they understand boundaries.
I can only say be the change you want to see. It creates a chain reaction that will eventually reach men that wouldn’t touch the book.
even a small step in the right direction of confronting patriarchy will have powerful results.
good point, but I fear that just creating male only spaces will not solve the problem with male loneliness. as can be seen in x-pill communities.
what men need to heal male loneliness is learn about how patrairchy has shaped their fathers & generations beyond, and how they haven’t learned to approach emotions in a healthy way.
a good book I HIGHLY recommend men to read is Bell Hooks - “The will to change”
she explains what damage patriarchy did to men and how to access and feel emoti8ns fully
I wish for all men to be seen fully in your entire vulnerability. we’re waiting for you.
there are women only spaces for our protection and safety… (which is why we’re open to trans people as well)
there are men only spaces because they want to exclude women / maintain their power (fraternities, lodges)
it is VERY important that humans today learn this difference.
aligning my focus back to art, people, listening, empathy, understanding,
(versus the separation they want us to live, and away from the phone that stole so much time from me)
adblocking, barely buying, if buying then second hand, gifting stuff in sharing is caring groups,

there is no owner OR the only owner of anything would be the creator, unless the owned is someone with their own will.
interesting to translate this ownership topic to anything - earth, space, buildings, art, AI
their “ownership” is the lie we collectively believe, I hate this
oh no their feet get wet thats so terrible
how about putting them in some hole in the ground where people can shit on
