## Resource

Welcome to a special and long overdue episode of KR! Today, we're talking the basics. Join me and only me to define patriarchy, chat about how we see it in our daily lives, and how it harms pretty much everyone. Then we define matriarchy, give examples of matriarchal societies around the world, and argue what changes we would see in a matriarchal world vs a patriarchal one. This episode is factual, philosophical, and just kind of radical. To connect with KR on socials: Insta
