Feminism Used To Be About Proving That We Could Play A Man's Game. Now It's About Changing The Rules.

For generations, anyone born with a vulva, was sidelined from the game that the patriarchy was building to serve itself. Creating ladder-type structures and systems designed for climbing, competing, dominating and outdoing.

As each new system of economy was born, women were left further and further disadvantaged. Couldn't study, couldn't get a bank account, couldn't get a credit card, couldn't work, did not even have legal rights to refuse their husband's sex.

This 'game' moved everyone further away from connection, community, collaboration, nature, creativity and family. It set us ALL up, regardless of sex, for despair.

But women stood tall and strong, they made their way onto the field, proving that this stupid game could be played by anyone. But why the hell would we?

Now it's time to change the rules. It's time to play a new game. One that's inclusive, that props up the weakest, that goes back outside and remembers that the 'pitch' is planet earth, that celebrates individual strengths, that rises and falls with the sun and lengthens and shortens with the seasons.

Enough is enough. This game we're all playing of self-facilitated enslavement to jobs and social media, superannuation and separation, of competition over collaboration and correction over connection, is absolute rubbish.

This real life hunger games massacres kids without a bat of a patriarchal eye, rapes and murders women and mothers, slaughters and enalaves men and fathers.

There is no quick and simple solution but in all of our own individual way we can start to say no when something is not right, yes to putting kindness first, tending to nature instead of decimating it, no to it's destruction, taking responsibility for our own health and lifestyle choices to the best of our own ability.

To not wanting to win the game that exists but creating a much, much better one, that's fun for everyone.
