i am epicurious

I am studying the origins of family and how the revolution from maternity run households to patriarchal capital machines, has epic implications for how the world turned out. "The overthrow of mother right was the world-historic defeat of the female sex" (Engels). The word familia means a totalitarian power over ones slaves, and was taken up by the Romans to define a unit where the father had the power of life and death over all his subjects, free or blood related.

I heard a track by a korean lesbian poet, titled "what if". my favorite line was- "what if adam ate the apple first"'

I get wrapped up in greek mythology, and wonder how women were viewed then. Think about walking marriages still practiced in remote areas of china and wonder what that feels like.

I see it everywhere, everyday, from female-centric porn to within my circle of friends. I hate it

I am not a feminist. I believe what my heart dictates, and try not to let the rest of the world mess me up. It gets quite confusing, when you realize how subjective right can be. When you question everything they feed you, it's easy to starve

But Gandhi did it
