Where Feminism Went South

Feminism began with a brilliant diagnosis: women were trapped
in roles that left them unfulfilled. Betty Friedan called it “the problem that
has no name.”

But the solution feminism offered—seeking equality through work and external validation—was incomplete. Instead of reclaiming our intrinsic power,
we pursued power on men’s terms, playing by the very rules that enfeebled us.

This led to a culture of victimhood, where we look outward for change rather than inward for transformation. Instead of cultivating autonomy, desire, and self-mastery, we sought fairness in a system never designed for our fulfillment.

True power doesn’t come from demanding respect—it comes from embodying it. We took a wrong turn when we abandoned our birthright: the deep, creative, erotic, and intuitive force that shapes the world.

The future of feminism isn’t about proving ourselves—it’s about remembering.
When we reclaim our essence, we don’t just change our lives; we change the entire field of existence. That is the revolution.
