About

What does it mean to abort the patriarchy?

The patriarchy is embedded in human institutions across cultures and throughout history. For most of us, it guided our upbringing and education. It is built into our cultural, legal, and political structures.

But what does it look like if we refuse to obey the patriarchy in our daily lives? There are countless acts of nonacceptance and civic disobedience we can take today and every day.

This site is about self reflection, personal action, and public imagination.

Ideas are Contagious

The patriarchy is everywhere. We see evidence of it all around, but it is also an invisible force that shapes us.

People are fighting injustices in many ways, every day. They do it through legislation and lawsuits, and through coordination and circumvention. To topple it, it will take all of us.

How will you abort the patriarchy?

We live in an wonderous pluralistic society. What action means for one person will be very different from the next. It's important to share yours. Ideas are contagious. It will inspire thinking and action.

Write a Manifesto

Write a personal manifesto. Ideas beget ideas, and action begets action.

The groundswell of individual ideas and actions add up and momentum builds.
