I never had the courage to post it because it felt so vulnerable. It wasn't until a friend of mine expressed her pain at awakening to the crushing weight of patriarchy that I revisited that recording and shared it with her.

Each of these women gives a different perspective and voice to her journey. Below, you can also hear an added male perspective from Gail.The Pain of Patriarchy: "The Men Give the Equality to the Women" — GailRight click here to download the mp3.*As always, thanks to Kevin MacLeod for the music.
