Yoga is Women’s Liberation

Summary of Doc:

In 1960’s women started fighting for equality and women’s liberation like never before, which resulted in the GREATEST liberation in the history of the world, a wave of activism of solidarity and shared purpose. What is a feminist? Any person, female or male, who doesn’t believe in male / white supremacy. What oppresses women? Patriarchy, capitalism, hierarchy? The universal preoccupation with men! No man is gonna save you! There is NO free ride. We need to KNOW HOW to fulfill ourselves.

Q: In 2023 how do women limit themselves?

Allow men to have control over them. Don’t use their voice bc they don’t believe they have a voice (yet). Yoga and women’s liberation share consciousness raising. Women smile too much. Stop apologizing for nothing. Use YOUR voice, NOT that contrived girl-speak you appease men with. Speak LOUD, not soft! Do NOT allow YOUR life to be stolen! Don’t be castrated by male conditioning! Stop the passivity and wallflowering! Stop it! ERASE male gaze from your life!

What is it like to be truly Feminine? It requires LEARNING who you are, how you tick, what your needs are?

Anger was fashionable for women in 60’s and 70’s. Now it’s admonished! Anger’s not feminine.

Civil rights movement, the new left, and women’s movement.

When women are oppressed, they get used to oppression and if one of them sticks her head up, the others will tell her to put her head back down!  — Kate Millett

Are we at the end of masculine rule? 

Are we entering a period of egalitarianism?
