But really understanding, like you said, it was created and given and then you're told not to do.

But why was it created in the first place?

And so I think really understanding that, but then also understanding, okay, what does it mean to open Pandora's box?

What does it mean to eat from the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil?

But then also we forget about that other tree over there, the tree of life.

And so I think there's a lot to unpack there in terms of what divinity is and how man literally is woman.

You're just testosterone that's secreted.

And that's what changed you into what we call male.

And you change in the womb.

Yes, you are.

All men are.

They start as a woman.

Right.

The patriarchy puts unfair expectations, obligations, responsibility on them.

That was all that.

As a woman too, I've realized I have internalized misogyny.

For sure.

And especially if you engage with hip hop.

It's in you, you know, and so really understanding what that looks like.

There's hip hop feminism that attempts to get at this in terms of academia and different literature.
