Most of us have gotten at least a little emotional at some point recently. It’s natural. But why do we have emotions and how much should we pay attention to them on any given day? Can we learn to skillfully choose which emotions to listen to and which ones to just let move on by? In More Than A Feeling, the latest podcast from Ten Percent Happier, host Saleem Reshamwala goes on a real life quest to find the answers to these questions. He’ll experiment with neuroscientists, dive into stories ...

Ep. 97 The Purpose of the Patriarchy: Controlling Women’s Bodies, Choices and Sexuality
Manage episode 496454068 series 2896678

Most people think the patriarchy is about power, dominance, or resource management. But what if the real goal has always been much more specific? What if every institution - marriage, religion, law, medicine, and cultural "morals" - has been designed to give men unrestricted access to women's bodies and sexuality?
In this episode, we explore:
- Why the patriarchy isn't really about general power - it's about sexual access
- How women are gaslit into motherhood from childhood by family and society
- The uncomfortable truth about why mothers pressure daughters to have children
- Why single women are pushed out by married friends and social circles
- How modern backlash (abortion bans, economic discrimination) serves the same old purpose
- The connection between societal control and narcissistic abuse tactics
- Why articles about single women's happiness keep disappearing from the web
- How cultural ostracization punishes women for choosing independence
- Why this "war" against women's autonomy will never truly end
- The real reason saying "no" is the most powerful act of defiance
This isn't about male-bashing. This is about recognizing patterns that have shaped our world for millennia and understanding why women's choices are still under constant attack.
Warning: This episode contains frank discussions about sexuality, reproductive control, and systemic manipulation. It may be triggering for survivors of abuse or those questioning traditional life paths.
If this episode resonates with you, please share it with someone who needs to hear it.
