Sasha Moss - From the Feminine

Matriarchal rage is not hysteria, bitterness, or chaos.

It is a fire.

A fire that refuses to normalize violence. It burns through gaslighting, colonial conditioning, and the polite lies we were taught to swallow.

A fire that clears the debris so something life-giving can grow.

When women, matriarchs, and femmes are told to soften, be digestible, and tone it down for the comfort of systems built on domination, they are really being asked to do is dim their clarity and instincts.

How do we harness it without letting it consume us?
How do we turn that fire into protection, leadership, and collective healing?

On February 25, Waneek Horn-Miller and I are coming together to speak directly to this from lived experience, political violence, survival, love for our People and Nations.

In this webinar, we’ll explore:

🌿 What matriarchy actually is--not the Barbie-movie version, but the relational, Land-based, egalitarian governance our ancestors practiced
🌿 The neuroscience of rage
🌿 Why silencing your rage leads to burnout, collapse, and self-doubt
🌿 How matriarchs can use rage strategically with clarity, truth-telling, boundary, action
🌿 And how to reclaim rage as medicine, direction, and leadership in your own community

🗓 February 25
⏰ 12 PM EST
📍 Zoom (replay available)

Self-compassion isn’t always soft and soothing. Sometimes it’s clear. Sometimes it’s firm.
When compassion is rooted in self-protection, it gives us the courage to say no, set boundaries, and choose what truly supports our well-being.

Beautifully articulated and so important…

*Editorial Note* Patriarchal parenting enculturates girls into patriarchal norms, endangering them and eroding their self-esteem. Dating violence and other forms of violence against women are solely the fault of the perpetrator. This does not change the reality that girls deserve to be raised in a way that does not reinforce patriarchy. I'm not going to pretend otherwise.*

My inbox is flooded with emails from readers desperate for advice on how to protect their daughters from sexism, and especially how to prevent their daughters from ending up in abusive romantic relationships.

You cannot control everything your daughter does. It’s one of the most frustrating realities of parenting. No matter how hard you try to protect her, she is growing up in a patriarchy, which means she will inevitably be harmed. Your job as a parent is not to guarantee a life free of harm. It’s to help her learn to manage the harm, while teaching her skills that support her to avoid harm as much as possible.

Patriarchy is everywhere. It’s not something we can abandon. None of us exist outside of the system. This means that your daughter’s enculturation into patriarchal norms begins at birth. It also means there’s a lot you can do to reduce her exposure to, and acceptance of, those norms. It also means that your child’s choices are not your fault.

Here are some strategies to stay close and model healthy relationships when your daughters begin dating (and in the many years before).

We’ve been sold the idea that rest is just another kind of self-care. But Tricia Hersey, founder of The Nap Ministry, says rest is far more radical.

Rest, she argues, is how we reclaim our humanity from the systems that tell us our worth is only in what we produce.

✨ What shifts when we start to see rest not as luxury, but as liberation?

True femininity has never been about fitting into someone else’s definition. It’s about strength, confidence, and the power of women rising together. Let’s keep challenging outdated stereotypes and celebrating what makes us unapologetically ourselves.
