0:23.2	Latterday Struggles.com. We're teaching people not to trust themselves. We're teaching people that you are not competent or capable to step into your own divine, autonomous sense of empowerment. It's teaching people to be too scared of getting things wrong.

1:55.4	who are experts in their field to discuss some of the most pressing facets of patriarchal systems.
2:00.7	We're going to have
2:01.4	conversations about the good, the bad, and the ugly. When we talk about patriarchy, we need to
2:07.0	clearly define it and stay focused on the goal of talking about it as a system. We're looking at it
2:13.2	from a stepped back wide angle lens view in order to see what it is and what it is not. And when we do
