Trump, trump supporters, his meeting with Pelosi

Patriarchy produces loss of connection while protecting us

People sacrifice connection through the embrace of patriarchy to, in a sense, circumcise their hearts

Boys moving through prekindergarten to kindergarten to first grade, becoming boys, suppressing empathy, hiding vulnerability.

Boys go from loving their best friend to, by the end of high school, not having one.

Patriarchy persists in part because it forces a betrayal of love and then renders the loss irreparable.

Preventing being like Oedipus, blindly walking into what be our fate.

Loss of connection
