Deconstructing Patriarchy: May 16th Recap

Patriarchy's Gatekeeping Field Guide, Technical Difficulties & The Sacred Tryst

May 16, 2025

Dear Mythic Rebel!

I am trying something new this week. A weekly recap! I hope this works well for all of us - please let me know what you think.

Ep 11: “Patriarchy Wrote the Bible”
Delayed due to technical difficulties or god’s wrath…

Long story short…all my hours of editing and pulling this week’s education together is now…well currently gone.

So here is this week’s little video I filmed to keep my YouTube algorithm going — incase you want to hear me about to cry out of frustration and get an inside scoop on this video. It’s gonna be EPIC!

It might be a few weeks before I get this video up (pls see video for why)…

…AND I might just take this next week or so as a breather. I have been working a little bit each day for months now. While I love the flexibility and am incredibily passionate about this work (which my ADHD is helping me fa sure)…maybe this isn’t “god smiting me”….but an opportunity for me to come up for air.

NO WAY TO MISS ME WHILE I’M GONE 🥰

I have plenty for you to either rewatch or binge for the first time…starting with this past Monday’s post I did not send out in an email.

1. When "Polite Debate" Is Just Another Patriarchal Power Play to Gatekeep

Have you ever found yourself in a conversation where you’re suddenly confused, off-balance, explaining things you didn’t even say, and feeling like you lost your own thread?

I KNOW I have. Many of times.

This last week over in the comments section here…I actually saw it coming.

Thanks to this work here with Deconstructing Patriarchy and some handy “reality checking” with ChatGPT (yes y’all USE that AI…it is a great pattern detector!) — I was able to…well read on to see how I finally mastered this!

This post ALSO comes with a cool “Patriarchy’s Gatekeepers: A Field Guide!”

2. Orient Yourself to this Growing Educational Work

🌀Start Here🌀

✨Binge Season 1 Playlist: Each Episode builds on the previous one, so it helps to go in order!

If that’s not enough:
✨ I broke down a few of the episodes and moved them to this playlist here. Each of these videos has MORE great education, examples and fun in them, so worth the watch.

3. The Sacred Tryst: Mary Magdalene & Jesus

Read Book 1 of this series as I write it. Here’s the snippet:

"Mary Magdalene is not the 'saved' prostitute. Jesus is not the Christ as we know him to be. And this is not your aesthetic spiritual story you think you know. "

This is Biblcal Historical Fiction — with a real life flair of spicey spiciness. Helping us reimangine the past with a new Creation story, that reinvisions the Christ...and quesiton -- well all of modern day culture. This is a paid subscription option to help support and further the free education of Deconstructing Patriarchy.

Binge all seven posts to get caught up. Leave me your thoughts!
