Many of us are interested in getting out of the patriarchy. Well in my estimation, here are the places you're more likely to meet likeminded women:
-
Massachusetts, US. It's the #1 most liberal state in the US. Not to say that there are zero anti-feminists, but if you want to live surrounded by feminism and highly educated, strong women, this is a great place to start.
-
California, US. It's a hotbed of Goddess-worship and women's spirituality. The second most liberal state in the US.
-
Quebec, Canada. Residents are already joking that Quebec is a matriarchy due to the prevalence of feminism and the number of women in political positions, setting national records for female political r
Since compiling the list of woman-owned businesses I posted here the other day, I've been making a big effort to actually try the things I was posting about. Here's what I've found so far:
-
Honeypot pads are amazing. Highly recommend. It's also a black woman-owned business so supporting her feels even better, and her product is amazing.
-
Partake vegan and gluten free chocolate chip cookies. They were delicious and saved my ass when I was starving at Target and in a rush to an appointment.
-
Simple Mills cheese crackers. I can't eat gluten so I haven't had any kind of cheesy crackers in a long time, and these were super yummy. Great snack.
-
my mom actually bought a bottle of Mrs. Meyer
Does anyone else feel like women were allowed to think and breath and be ourselves and feel our actual feelings of betrayal and rage and frustration for like 5 seconds after the election when everyone collectively realized that men had just sold us down the river, but now the conversation has completely flipped into the same old "what did women do to deserve oppression" bullshit we've always been given?
Like okay, we get it, pronouns and Gaza divided the democratic party. But don't try to convince me men would have suddenly voted for Kamala if only we'd "been a little nicer." If men are experiencing a "loneliness epidemic" maybe they should try "being a little nicer" instead of trying to
I've seen a few posts asking about this now, and it's actually something I've done a little digging into. There are a few different directories of woman-owned businesses, but unfortunately they're mostly lists of tiny independent skincare and fashion accessories brands, etc.
When it comes to big accessible woman-owned brands you might actually find in stores, here are the ones I'm aware of:
- Away suitcases
- Parachute bedding and sheets
- Jungalow (home decor widely

A few people have messaged me now and asked "how do I live matriarchally?"
These are the basic essential steps:
- Keep your own name. If you don't like your name or don't want to be associated with your father's name, use a name you always admired, or make up a new one. Encourage your partner to consider taking your name if you get married. Your name is your lineage and your identity
- Live in your own home, with or without a partner. You never want to be forced into relocating or even becoming homeless if you break up with your partner. Live with other women if you can, especially female relatives. If your partner acts like an asshole, kick him out without a second thought
- If you have
