I Don’t Want To Be Your Goddess

I really hate the whole “mother goddess/matriarchal age” nonsense, because like:

  1. I don’t think a religion that reduces women to their reproductive capacity is all that feminist 
  2. 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.
  3. It’s always gender essentialist as shit.
  4. There are modern religions focused on a mother goddess and their cultures just use them as a shitty standard to hold real women to.
  5. I don’t want to be divine.  I want to be human.  Don’t put me on a pedestal or in a pit.
  6. Also TERFs are awful
