The conservative dystopia is being built with Trump’s blessing. They’re stripping women’s rights one by one, determined to turn The Handmaid’s Tale into reality.

We refuse to let our daughters have fewer rights than us. We don’t beg. We dismantle it — and build Matriarchy.

3 Reminders to our Matriarchs for this October
1. Saying NO is an act of leadership.
2. Decay is part of creation. Women have always known how to transform endings into beginnings.
3. Lift another woman this month Not because she’s struggling, but because we rise together.

Feminist victory in Spain! The Spanish government is moving to make abortion a constitutional right — 40 years after its legalization. It’s not finalized yet, but this is a huge step forward for women’s autonomy. May more European nations follow this path. #Feminism #WomensRights

Why do some women fear a world led by women? Matriarchy promises freedom, yet centuries of conditioning make some see it as a threat. This piece dives into why — and what it truly means to unlearn the fear of our own power.

As women face violence throughout the year, October is a good time to bring the discussion to the table. As domestic violence counts for majority of violence against women, one thing is clear: Most women don't face violence from strangers, it comes from men they know.

Reminder that cultures, religions or traditions are never more important than the liberation of women. If there’s anyone who says otherwise, it’s nothing but misogynistic rhetoric packaged as ‘heritage’ or ‘morality’ to keep women in chains. Women first. Always.

Mexico lifted 8.3M people out of poverty under its first female president. 🌹 Proof is clear: when women lead, nations rise. A matriarchal future isn’t just fair — it works. #WomenLead #Matriarchy

By banning books by women, the Afghan regime shows its fear: that women think, speak, challenge, inspire.

This isn’t “morality” — it’s patriarchy choking dissent & silencing women. The dream of male supremacy.

But words refuse to die. We resist. 🖤 #BooksByWomen #Afghanistan

Liberal feminism turned this movement into something obsolete. Feminism began as women’s liberation, raw, unapologetic, and powerful. Liberal feminism watered it down into corporate PR, even including our oppressors. Its time to return to our roots. It’s time for radical feminism

All violence has one truth: it’s overwhelmingly male. War, bloodshed, brutality—it’s not ‘human nature,’ it’s male nature in power. Until we name it male violence and stop giving men authority, we’ll keep digging our own graves
