Will never get over how weird it is that dragon show (but mostly society's reaction to it) of all things is what made it more clear than anything else that white womanhood was predated by, exists related to, and has so many origins in a patriarchal concept of good women vs. bad women dichotomy that goes deeper than the term Madonna Whore complex. I'm sure there must be a term and concept already established that I'm just missing.
What is it though???????????????
Sidenote: this is why I don't fuck with the "old boys club" circles of Indigenous activism that really think you can address race and colonialization without addressing patriarchy. They're just as bad in the long-run as the newer colonizer-approved "inclusive" movements that reek of white feminism-adjacent surface-level acknowledgement of the patriarchy and also really make me wish I knew if there's a term for "when it acts like white feminism even though it's in a different context."
What I'm saying is, someone please rec me some good intersectional books on patriarchy that actually go deep.
