I really hate the whole “mother goddess/matriarchal age” nonsense, because like:
- I don’t think a religion that reduces women to their reproductive capacity is all that feminist
- If we’d had a matriarchal age, it wouldn’t have been a golden age. Women are not better than men. Give any group of humans power over any other and they will mistreat and abuse those they have power over.
- It’s always gender essentialist as shit.
- There are modern religions focused on a mother goddess and their cultures just use them as a shitty standard to hold real women to.
- I don’t want to be divine. I want to be human. Don’t put me on a pedestal or in a pit.
- Also TERFs are awful
