Ending the gender war and creating real community - a podcast by Caitlyn Cook

In interviewed Estera Saraswati, sacred sexuality teacher Tantric Buddhist mystic, on the great wounding and resentment between men and women. It’s a vicious circle: who is the first to say sorry? Both sides feel hurt and wounded. Both sides demand respect. We stand in front of each other with closed and wounded hearts, so there is no resolution.

It’s easy for women to see how we’ve been wronged my patriarchy. It’s tangible with salary gaps, domestic abuse, sexual pressure. It’s visible. But we lack compassion for men. Men are under huge oppression under patriarchy too.

Let’s redefine what patriarchy is: It’s not about men oppressing women only, it’s about a system of domination and control of fear. The fear is of the unknown. It’s the same for men and women alike, though it’s expressed differently. Patriarchy allows us to be aggressive and blame and project onto others. We feel victimized and privileged to say THEY are wrong.

It’s impossible to bring peace through war! Even if I have a good intention, I create war if I fight.

So how do we go beyond the gender war and #metoo us/them abuse, victiming and blaming?

This episode is so ESSENTIAL for every man, women, gender fluid, single, partnered person to listen to.

We cover

How patriarchy is produced and reproduced

As above so below; as within so without: how I contribute to this gender war.

We cannot find answers to our current issues by operating at the same level of consciousness. We need to upgrade our consciousness.

Women need to address their inner masculine: If we want to heal our connection with the other gender, we need to find connection with our own inner self.

Whatever’s triggering us on the outside, we need to address inside: You are Donald Trump too. Taking self-responsibility

Why it’s so essential not to remain neutral

How to go beyond social conditioning of dos and don’ts.

Tender power: a new way of engaging with power

Female predators: own that you’re a predator, not just men!

We also talk about parenting, the privatization of children, education, fostering inner curiosity, and creating a new approach for society.
