The Fight Women Face in Iran is the Same Fight We Have in the United States: The Attempt to Annihilate Our Existence.

Two clashing civilizations have more in common than they'd like to admit.

Whether it’s abortion or covering your hair or gender wars — the issue is ironically the same issue other movements are trying to scrub: that women exist. Specifically, that a woman — a womb man — is some kind of threat to an outside body of beings. That a woman with the innate wisdom of life-giving power, is not trusted with the power to steward her own life or that which is under her wing.

The sharing of our collective outrage over the attempts to control women — is a cauldron, a sacred container for us to connect with the wisdom in all women, unique to the signature of our experience.

My own experience has been on the intersection of Islam (today it’s Iran’s morality police), the stories of women’s suffering (across ideologies), extremism (stories of force), and the divinity within us (the remembering). All that is sacred and under the realm of the divine feminine is set to fire under all the modern-day heresies we’ve crafted and contorted as “culture.”
