patriarchy – indiebio

Holding structures and scapegoating theory … or something. A wobbly.

While working on the AquaCurious proposal, I had a wobbly. This happens, I pour myself into my work completely and so it gets tangled up with all the emotions and undercurrents and things. So I just poured it into Claude. I don’t know if any of its responses are factually true, but the feelings were BIG and the conversation helped.

Don’t you think this whole application is just naive? Too much of a pipe dream?

Building an eco-feminist metaverse

This is chewing through the philosophy of the biosphere metaverse project. It’s still messy, and trigger warning, it involves mention of patriarchy and ecofeminism. In more developed framing it won’t mention these to avoid the hangups around the words. Probably won’t mention metaverse either for the same reason.

Why Does Patriarchy Persist?

notes from the book by Carol Gilligan and Naomi Snider

I wasn’t mad about the style of the book, it lacked coherence to me, and then I found the more recent book “In a Human Voice” which I loved (notes here and here) and so I never recorded my notes on this book. Here it is, and reading the notes again proved very helpful! (thanks Stela)
