Telling stories about things you have no knowledge of only leads to people criticizing you for being ignorant or speaking out of turn. Coogler is FAST APPROACHING the ability to uplift those apt to tell these stories like Peele has done for Nia DaCosta
LIFT as you CLIMB
@griotDAMONE Nor do I think it’s productive as a liberation framework & I like my stories told by my people 🌈 Instead, I would prefer for Ryan Coogler to recognise that he’s parted the sea a little bit, and to literally carry, push, drag, and advocate for more marginalised black voices 2/2
To Freud, women were simply men without penises (Cohler & Galatzer-Levy,2008), so naturally he introduced a stage of 'penis envy' where a woman realises she does not possess a penis and experiences an envy of the male, which accounted for much of female behaviour.
He further states that the only way women can overcome this"penis envy" was to have a child of their own - even going as far as to suggest they wanted a male child, in their efforts to gain a penis. Karen Horney aptly destroyed Freud's arguments by introducing "Womb Envy" to show how ridiculous he sounded. She stated that men were subconsciously jealous of women's ability to create life. Because they are unable to get pregnant, they in turn seek similar fulfillment in areas OUTSIDE of the home, such as high position jobs and being promiscuous
Further states, "Womb envy" might be one of the main reasons that males DENY WOMEN EQUAL RIGHTS, DEMONISE the female body and sexuality, have blamed women for the downfall of society, and explains why men are SO OBSESSED with controlling women's reproductive health and abortion!
THE WOMAN ATE. I LOVEEEE HER

I genuinely think that our purpose as humans in the eco system was to care for all the other species. Why else would humans have the capabilities of projecting emotions and empathy onto literally anything? It's because we were supposed to care. And now? All we do is destroy.
every time you replace “this is hard” with “what’s the first step?” you shift brain activity from your amygdala (fear) to your prefrontal cortex (problem-solving).
that’s neuroplasticity in real time.
Out of ten men, one makes a sexual joke at a woman, two laugh, three fake a chuckle to fit in, and four stay silent. None of them speak up. Later, nine of them still believe they're the "good guys." But from the woman's perspective, the laughter, the silence, the looking away, it all creates the same environment. So when women say"most men are the same," this is what they mean: not that every man harasses women, but that most men help protect the system that does.
menstrual products cause BODILY HARM. toothpaste causes dental issues for women because it was designed for MEN. male baldness is studied more than ENDOMETRIOSIS. they even created male birth control... then pulled it over ACNE, HAIR LOSS, MOOD SWINGS, and cancer risks… the same side effects women have endured for DECADES. this isn’t just medicine. it’s a system that protects MEN’S COMFORT while ignoring WOMEN’S PAIN.
this morning, while taking my golden retriever for a stroll, i walked past a middle-aged man wearing a sweatshirt that read in big bold print “never stop being kind to people.”
i smiled and said “good morning” to him. he looked at me like i was an alien, said nothing, and kept walking.
i’ve been thinking about this all day. i think it is the perfect metaphor for modern life.
Home Alone is such a cozy movie in large part because of the most incredible shade of green used heavily throughout that is both natural and mystical: Phthalo Green
