I love this idea, because I find it directly opposes the concept of patriarchy being correct because it is natural and traditional. The ideas we discussed in class about how bible stories and other texts are used to point to "how things should be" are challenged simply by the existence of women who hold power, authority, or resist that idea of tradition itself. Furthermore, even in situations where an authoritarian power has already restricted the autonomy of women (Taliban banning the education of young girls), it is still met with resistance, primarily by the women in question (Underground schools run by women). And this has occurred throughout history, with women's rights movements existing now as they did a hundred years ago. Why resist what is right and traditional... unless, maybe, because it is not right or traditional?

I see this often in my own life, as with every current issue I bring up to my parents (often from a liberal perspective), there seems to be another side of the issue that they have already bought into (often from a conservative perspective). They've sent me anti-LGBTQ+ posts showing footage of queer protesters that are A.I. generated, which I had to explain to them. It really creates a divide between us because it leaves little room to discuss the issue ourselves, like how we see it as individuals, without it becoming an argument about "brainwashing" or where we are getting our information from.
