Something I experienced after watching the barbie movie was how long my emotions lasted after watching it, I cried multiple times watching it but unlike lots of movies I've cried in this one lingered, and I don't know exactly why. Perhaps it was because it made me think how equality is not through either a patriarchy nor a martiarchy but through connection and respect, maybe because I related to both barbie and ken, or because I noticed how the movie knows the beauty of humanity and life, idk. But it lasted well after the credits ended and I struggled to not cry waking out of the shopping center and on the bus on my way home.

#OR maybe it way because the what was i made for song was do fucking beautiful #barbie #the barbie movie #anyway gonna go see it again next week with friends so i might figure it out on the second watch :P

"Martiarchy is no less heterosexual than patriarchy: it is only the sex of the oppressor that changes"

Quote

They say if you grow up in South Wales you grow up in a martiarchy. You're mildy afraid of your wife, you're scared of your daughter, your grandmother is a terrifying figure and if your grandmother is angry at you leave the country.

Mother words in modern greek

1. Μητέρα is used for “mother”, not mum. It’s the ancient greek word (μήτηρ) in its modern greek update. So it’s the full word which is also used for formal or religious terms. This is seldom the word one uses to call one’s mother, except when one wants to sound severe.

You might think that there’s no diminutive form for μητέρα but there is one: μητερούλα. I think it´s obsolete or only used by really young children, but still it´s a very tender way to address your mother.

This is somewhat advanced, put I´ll just put it here anyway. Very long ago, there was a tendency in some families (especially well off ones) to call mothers “μητέρα” along with using the formal form (second person plural) of the verb / pronouns etc. That is not a thing anymore, though. At least I hope so...

And now, for some examples:

Η μητέρα του Ιησού λεγόταν Μαρία = Jesus’ mother was called Mary.

Η συμπεριφορά σου είναι απαράδεκτη. Πες στη μητέρα σου να περάσει αύριο από το γραφείο του διευθυντή = Your behaviour is unacceptable. Tell your mother to drop by the headmaster´s office tomorrow.

Να σας φτιάξω ένα τσάι, μητέρα; = Should I make some tea for you, mother? (notice the second person plural, here. It implies that the relation between mother and child is unnaturally formal).

Btw, the term “mother superior” is rendered ηγουμένη in modern greek. No mother word for this one.

There are a few other words deriving from μητέρα, most notably:

μητριαρχία = martiarchy

μητρικός = maternal

μητρική γλώσσα = mother tongue

μητριά = step mother

μητροκτονία = matricide

μητρόπολη = metropolis (mother city)

μητρότητα = motherhood

2. Μαμά is used for “mum” or “ma”. A french loan, it’s used for both addressing mothers and refering to them throughout Greece today, not only by young children but also by adult ones. One diminutive for this; μαμάκα. No need for examples either, right?

3. And then there´s μάνα. It´s a rather special word, full of nuances.

First of all, it´s informal. It may be indicative of one´s lower social descent, perhaps one´s not well educated, ill-mannered or something between these lines.

Apart from the above, as for addressing one´s mother, μάνα (usually followed by ρε*) may indicate that one is somewhat exhausted or frustrated while addressing her (either by her doings or not).

It´s also a way to say “mother” stressing her role, being sentimental about it. It’s definately the word to use in order to curse someone’s mother (although it’s not right to do that, of course).

It’s diminutive form, μανούλα, is used by young children mostly or by anyone who wants to address his mother in a tender way. It’s mostly rendered mommy in english. It´s also a way to say “poor mother”.

There´s also this expression, κάνω μάνα, used mainly in card games, which means “to deal”. And so, μάνα also means “dealer” (of cards only!), even in the casino!

As you have already guessed, μάνα can either be rendered as mom or mother in english.

I hope the following examples make things clearer:

Πού είναι η μάνα σου; = Where´s your mother? (This question is not really polite, it sounds abrupt or it feels that the one who asks may have bad intentions about this mother, or that he’s ill-mannered or he just wants to be impolite for the sake of... impoliteness).

Ρε μάνα, πού είναι το πουλόβερ μου; = Hey mom, where the hack is my sweater? (It is implied that his mother may have misplaced it and he’s frustrated by searching for it all over the house).

Μάνα, έχει νερό; Είμαι πολύ κουρασμένος, πρέπει να κάνω μπάνιο = Hey mom, is there any hot water left? I´m too tired, must take a shower.

H μάνα σου είναι τσούλα = Your mother´s a tramp.

Γιατί λερώνεις τόσο τα ρούχα σου; Τη μάνα σου δεν την λυπάσαι; = Why do you make your clothes so dirty? Don´t you have any pity for your mother? (Now this is a mother speaking. It is implied that his mother is responsible for making the laundry).

Τι; Η μάνα μου είναι στο νοσοκομείο; Τι έπαθε η μανούλα μου; = What? My mom’s in the hospital? What’s wrong with my poor mother?

Μανούλα, που είναι η κούκλα μου; = Mommy, where´s my dolly?

Ποιος κάνει μάνα; = Who deals? (It is implied that some people are playing cards and one of them has lost track of the dealing sequence).

And that’s all you need to know about mother words in modern greek. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

*ρε is explained in this post: modern greek - μωρός

Cool post

I now look at vk music video. You see I have some ideas. What's the ingredient for matriarchy, or, specifically, girlarchy. Is if you win over the dudes through your kindness and acceptance. See I don't wanna see those two of adjective-attributes to be presented in a backstory manner or be in your face, just we the audience feels it. You here taking in dude boys in your club with a bestie and they are jokey, eccentric, a bit of outsider, genuine or open types. And they join. Through what: kindness and acceptance. A win-win where you win over two dudes and gain subtle power for girlarchy(martiarchy). And for all people caring about raising kids under all kinds of media influence, you have a morally positive message as well.

#Sorry if sometimes i sound somewhat like nagging #this post is more cool

N.K. Jemisin’s NYT Review

[Source]

It’s easy to get lost in the scenery Chris Beckett introduces in his third novel, DARK EDEN (Broadway, paper, $15), which won the Arthur C. Clarke Award in England last year. Eden, the sunless rogue planet on which a pair of stranded spacefarers played Adam and Eve (other biblical allusions are less obvious, thankfully), is the poetic if improbable setting. Here life has evolved to channel energy from the planet’s interior to its surface in endless variety and sufficient quantity to make up for the lack of a sun. Beckett describes in exhaustive detail glowing forests of lantern trees and light-reflecting predators that sing to their prey. He renders the terror of the darkness beyond the forests with a riveting deftness that evokes all primordial fears of the unknown. So entrancing and fresh is Eden’s beauty, in fact, that it might take a while for the reader to notice the tired devices playing out against its backdrop.

The Family, as the 532 primitive descendants of the spacefarers call themselves, has dwelled for generations in one forest on Eden, never daring to venture into the lightless, frozen lands beyond. This is a problem because their growing population has taxed the forest to capacity, and something will have to give soon. Enter young John Redlantern, the stalwart visionary who dares to question the nonsensical traditions passed down from their Earth-born forebears. It takes a while for this part of the story to get going, but you can see it coming from nearly the first chapter: John, his devoted but forgettable cousin and his equally clichéd love interest eventually challenge enough of the Family’s status quo to be kicked out of it, forcing them into the dark.

The journey is exciting, and Beckett cleverly offers his characters additional threats to face as the dark becomes less of one, but it’s all a bit predictable. What really dims Eden’s glow, however, is the 1950s ethos underpinning the whole thing. The Family has developed into a relatively peaceful communal society that venerates its elders and has necessarily relaxed sexual norms; the society John seeks to create instead is monogamous, individualistic, rife with subtle bigotries and rooted in murder. Survival and progress, the story seems to suggest, require these things. John himself is that most threadbare of science fiction types: the impossibly handsome, impossibly forward-thinking young man who gets the prettiest girl with no particular effort, and saves the day through sheer bloody-mindedness. Beckett tells the story from the alternating viewpoints of John and his companions, but it’s unclear why he bothers with the others; everything’s about John anyway.

Still, for the sort of readers who like their heroes retro and their world-building literally colorful, there’s plenty here to intrigue and entrance.

Yes. Yes. Thank you. I’m glad I’m not the only one who got a real mid-20th century sci-fi feel from the story--especially John. I want to make a retro cover with the subtitle “One stalwart visionary who dares to question tradition!”

Also super glad that she didn’t pull the “Family is a martiarchy” the way everyone else does. Just because John is totally on his way to creating a patriarchy doesn’t mean he’s coming from a matriarchy; you can create a patriarchy/matriarchy out of a more-or-less gender egalitarian society!

Male Submission: The Best Way to Say 'I Love You'

In the realm of relationships and love, men have been traditionally seen as the dominant figures. They're often expected to take the lead in all aspects, from initiating the first date to proposing marriage. However, with evolving perspectives on gender dynamics and roles, we are beginning to understand the beauty of male submission. Not in a way that undermines masculinity but as an expression of vulnerability and love, often seen as the best way to say 'I love you'.

Firstly, it is important to define what we mean by 'male submission.' It does not signify weakness or loss of power. It is about giving up control in certain aspects of a relationship to promote mutual respect and understanding. It's about the conscious choice to listen, yield, and prioritize their partner's needs and desires, not because they have to, but because they want to.

Expressing love is not just about saying three words, but it's about actions, behavior, and a genuine demonstration of care and respect. A submissive man shows love by letting his guard down and showing his vulnerability. He is open about his feelings, not shying away from expressing emotions that are often deemed as 'weak' or 'unmanly.' It is in these moments that he displays his strength, for it takes courage to go against societal norms and show emotional transparency.

Submissive men are not afraid to ask for direction when they're unsure, showing a level of respect for their partner's knowledge and capabilities. It's a powerful way to say 'I love you', telling their partner that they value their judgement and perspective.

Being submissive can also mean taking care of the emotional labor in a relationship. It can mean being the one to initiate conversations about feelings, wants, and needs. This level of emotional engagement is a sincere way of saying 'I love you', expressing a willingness to delve into the often messy world of emotions for the sake of the relationship.

Lastly, male submission in a relationship might involve sharing power in decision-making processes. This might seem small, but it can have a big impact. It's about respecting the partner's opinions, ideas, and involving them in making decisions, whether it's about where to go for dinner or planning a future together. This not only strengthens the bond but it is an expression of trust and love.

The societal concept of masculinity is slowly but surely evolving, and with it, our understanding of relationships and love. Male submission is not about being weak or inferior; it's about strength, respect, and deep affection. In this view, saying 'I love you' transcends beyond mere words, it becomes a way of life, a sincere expression of deep romantic love.
