The thing is: black liberation will not amount to white oppression.
In fact: a black feminist vision of liberation means liberation from all oppression for all people.

Patriarchy is born from trauma. Trauma forces us into survival, in which dominance and submission appear to make sense. Powerful antidotes to patriarchy are tenderness, vulnerability, and mourning.
Glad to!
In Sarah Blaffer Hrdy's book Mothers and Others, she draws on attachment theory to make the case that prosocial impulses of humans far exceed those of nonhuman primates, and this is linked to the need for an extended community to care for our slow-maturing children.
I read your connected thread on natural family planning. I'd love to know your thoughts on attachment wounds => hierarchies. Or suggestions for resources to explore.
Thank you,
Marcella
(When I read Clan of the Cave Bear I posited trauma increasing fear => fear-based religions.)

There's plenty of recent work on the way trauma acts across generations to perpetuate harm. A book I've found helpful is My Grandmother's Hands by Resmaa Menakem, which looks at the history of slavery through this lens and offers ways to move through the trauma to better futures.

I'll start with the premise that pre-modern humans could choose the timing of pregnancy.

When both partners are communicating and share intentions of whether they wish to conceive, the timing of pregnancy does not have to be random, even without the pill (which disrupts the hormonal pattern to prevent ovulation). For example, see tcoyf.com/
