White womanhood has never been just victimhood—it has been both the mask and machinery of patriarchy. From suffragettes to the Women of the KKK, all the way to Erica Kirk, innocence has been wielded as a weapon, sustaining the very systems it claims to resist. In this episode, I trace that through-line and invite you to wrestle with the complexity: What does it mean to be both victim and perpetrator? What does it mean when liberation asks us to free not only women, but men too, from the pyramid of domination?

This conversation is about dismantling binaries, naming complicity without shame, and imagining matriarchy not as patriarchy in pink, but as circular power-with rooted in community and care.

🔑 Key themes:

  • White womanhood as patriarchy in pink

  • Innocence as complicity, not neutrality

  • Men’s liberation and the possibility of matriarchy

🎧 Tune in, breathe deep, and let’s step out of innocence, out of control, and into liberation.
