The REAL Feminism
What would it look like to honor feminine nature and the female body?
The duality of mind and body is as ancient and essential as the interplay of masculine and feminine. Across time and tradition, the mind has often been associated with masculine energy—logic, control, strategy, and reason—while the body has been the dwelling place of the feminine: sensation, intuition, emotion, and flow.
Some people call this interplay of energy yin and yang, dark and light, above and below. The words are less important, it’s more about describing fundamental polarity.
While both are needed, there’s been a long-standing cultural elevation of the mind over the body—an unspoken hierarchy that runs deep. We tend to call this “the Patriarchy.”
In my view, one of the simplest ways to understand what so many refer to as “the patriarchy” is this: it’s a societal structure that privileges intellect, output, and analysis (the mind) over intuition, embodiment, and feeling (the body). It values doing over being. Thinking over embodied knowing.
You can see this imbalance everywhere. One of the clearest examples is the near-worship of science as the ultimate authority—charts, graphs, data points, and peer-reviewed studies are often considered the only acceptable proof of what is “real” or “true.” If something can’t be measured or quantified, it’s dismissed as irrelevant, imaginary, or worse, irrational, just as women’s emotions are sometimes dismissed as.
But what if science, as we practice it, isn’t the only gateway to truth?
This isn’t a condemnation of science itself, it’s a call to question the way we’ve turned it into dogma. We’ve lost reverence for the unseen, the mystical, the intuitive. We’ve forgotten that truth can live in stories, in synchronicity, in goosebumps, and gut instincts.
As Dr. Kelly Brogan writes:
“Ever heard the phrase, ‘…the science is settled?’ If so, it didn’t come from the mouth of a true scientist. Scientific dogmas create taboos—things you’re not allowed to ask about or talk about, let alone study and research. But science is not a destination…it is a process of discovery. Moreover, it is a means of studying and honoring the wonder around us and within us. When science is bound and arrested by dogmatic beliefs, it becomes an eviscerated religion that can be co-opted for political gain and control.”
She continues, quoting theorist Rupert Sheldrake:
“We are, many of us, waking up from a several century–long slumber induced by Scientism—the dogmatic belief in the dominant narrative of science as religion. As we wake up to nuance, to new science that defies the old, and to a complexity that often leads us to an awareness of all that we don’t know, those Scientism believers will become more and more uncomfortable. These people may be your family, your doctors, or even your formerly trusted media reporters. They may foam at the mouth and threaten violence at the suggestion that Scientism’s sacred cows (pharmaceuticals, bioengineered foods, industrial chemicals) are not what we have been led to believe. Stay strong and reconnect to the elegance of a world of natural design, harmony, and regeneration.”
Another way this mind-over-body dynamic shows up is in how we’ve been conditioned to view women.
We’ve been told that to be taken seriously, a woman must lead with her intellect, her creativity, her ambition—not her in her pleasurable delights or her nurturing body. That to desire to be seen, adored, or appreciated physically is to invite objectification. That the body is dangerous, distracting, or decorative—but never divine.
Of course, a woman’s mind and creativity are beautiful. But why must it be either/or? Why is the body so feared, so mocked, so minimized?
Ironically, it’s often women themselves who demand we dismiss the body—as though it’s shameful to want to be seen, or powerful to ignore our sensuality, intuition, or biology altogether. Yet to deny the truth and sacredness of the female body is to perpetuate the very misogyny we claim to be fighting.
Self-proclaimed feminists (women) themselves will go to the deranged lengths of completely shutting down their body’s hormonal process and functions with hormonal birth control, just so they don’t have to inhabit the truth of their nature. All the while claiming to be “pro-woman” as they engage in one of the largest anti-woman rituals of our time.
Birth C O N T R O L. That is a long way to walk for a lousy ham sandwich, ladies.
This, I believe, is the most insidious form of internalized misogyny: the deep, unconscious belief that the body (the female body) is inferior. That wisdom must be logical. That intuition can’t be trusted. That femininity and female nature is frivolous.
Even within modern feminism and social reform movements, we often continue to fight from the head—more policies, more intellectual frameworks, more demands for recognition and representation in fields that divorce us from our bodies and souls—all while remaining severed from the power source that lies below the neck and waist.
But what if the next wave of feminine liberation isn’t about changing the system from the outside, but changing our relationship to ourselves from within?
To me, the most radical act a woman can take today is to return to her body. To feel. To trust. To inhabit herself so fully that her very presence becomes a form of protesting all parts of society where she doesn’t organically fit in. No need to shout, no need to march or demand. Just silently opting out by virtue of coming home to ourselves.
This is the new feminism—one rooted in embodiment, not ideology.
It is opting OUT of the systems that have hijacked women’s bodies (medical system, academia, 9-5s 7 days a week, etc), not joining the ranks and further enmeshing ourselves with them.
Because the truth is, your body knows. It knows how to birth. It knows how to heal. It knows what’s true for you even before your mind catches up.
And if women fully reclaimed the power of their bodies—if we made our own embodiment the revolution—then the world would shift in ways we can barely begin to imagine. It must.
