Discussing men's mental health and how they are also victims of patriarchy, but too many too often unwilling to give up the benefits conferred upon them by the patriarchy.

Patriarchy makes slaves of women. The “peculiar institution” of slavery was perfected by men in the enslavement of the women in their own population. In this video, I discuss the necessary conditions of slavery and how the history of the legal status and experiences of women align neatly with these conditions.

I loved the pictures in this article and thought it fit the sub theme, so I wanted to share. I hope it's not against the rules. Feel free to remove if it is. :)

Witches' Sabbath is one of Francisco de Goya's "Black Paintings," created between 1820 and 1823 on the walls of his home, the Quinta del Sordo. This series of works reflects the artist's dark and pessimistic vision in his final years. ​In the painting, a large he-goat represents the devil, presiding over a gathering of witches. The work not only depicts a scene of witchcraft but is also a social critique of the ignorance and fanaticism of the era. ​The painting inspires deep reflection on the darker side of humanity, the fear of the unknown, and madness. It is a testament to Goya's personal anguish and his view of Spanish society as a place dominated by superstition and evil.

Has been used as reference and as an inspiration for a lot of art. The witch by Eggers for example used this image as inspiration for it's ending too. A movie I love and a scene that left me pointing at my screen.
