perpetuate ideas of a caring cul- ture, not women who protect the status quo, protect the patriarchy, which really oppresses women. So she cautions us to not be complicit in our discrimination or our oppres- sion.

Some of the things that can move us forward are not just secular law. You can also look at goddess thealogy.

If man gets greedy and takes more than he needs, Sedna cuts him off, so there’s no abuse.
