Nurturing life is our primary biological directive.
However, the facts are that we are born into a Hierarchically Violent Power System that consistently disrupts this mandate. It suggest our mandate is to dominate, conquer and alter the living world to meet the needs of 'Civilisation', by which it means maintaining the distal social and material power over all.
Because the conditioning by the behaviour of Distal Power and the outcomes of that behaviour are ubiquitous, everywhere we turn we face the adverse outcomes, the chronic stress induced upon parenting, fathering and mothering, is ever present.
The grooming of children and electorates by Power Institutions is constant. The threat of destitution and war ever present. No child left behind. No tribe left untouched.
Nurturing life is our primary biological mandate.
Some people feel I go too far.
Obviously, I do not.
I see and understand what is called 'rape culture' aka misogyny as part of the same overall cultural power dynamic of hierarchy of resource and power that undermines natural parenting, fathering and mothering. I understand this as a dynamic that disrupts the evolved optimally healthy child bonding attachment processes mandated by our very biology as the basis of long term psychological and physical health.

Thus the recent media led discussions about the 'Tax on Tampons as a Luxury' did not bring up this: that
women and men learn or are taught to hate menstruation, to relate to menstruation as something disgusting, a taboo subject. We are taught to dislike a key aspect of the way the human body functions, to distance from the embodied wisdom of our creative
response ability in nurturing life itself.
That men and women internalise
the 'rules' of the social and political systems into which we are born, in order to sit within them is obvious. And that reliance on external definitions of who we are and what is truly healthy is what generates an internal conflict, which in turn leads to a subtle self loathing and an undermining of the natural emergent self.
From flags to parades, from statist identity to religion the internalisation is obvious to me, and many of us. It happens easily as children assume the world they grow into is normality, naturally enough. If the social material constructs and the biological world are not congruent, then that can become a problem.

I understand that any system that treats
children as economic units to be conditioned, bodies to be trained and constrained for the work
place to serve the economy, and that launches war as a policy
enforcement tool is a toxic system.
This matter is way to central to our lives and the lives of our children's children, to whom we, the adult worlds, owes a profound and ultimately liberating, nourishing responsibility.
I can defend my position with scientifically examined evidence, insight, compassion and clarity.... and I will every time.
Do not "calm down, dear!"

"Jeremy Corbyn offers women 50 per cent of his shadow cabinet, but with anti-sexist policies, including not only free childcare but the ‘recognition and valuing’ of women’s unremunerated caring work. Women coming in on a rising popular tide, could build on that for the rest of us – we could call them to account on the basis of this programme.
We are told that if Corbyn wins, Labour won’t be electable.
Anti-austerity not calls for independence won the SNP its 56 MPs.
The maiden speech of Mhairi Black made it clear that in following anti-austerity she did not leave Labour; Labour left her. It is a kind of political corruption that assumes that his popularity augurs badly for electability."
Nurturing life is our primary biological directive.
And it depends utterly upon healthy, honest, nurturing relationships at all levels of our Society. Any abuse of power is an intentional act, a corruption of our relationships that will pollute and diminish our lives, our entire social system.
I quote Nina Lopez here....
“women are still the poorer sex, doing two-thirds of the
world’s work, including growing most of their families’ food. We remain the
primary carers everywhere: for children and for sick, disabled and elderly
people, within the family and outside, in war as in peace. In 90 per cent of UK families the
primary carer is a woman. Seventy-nine per cent of
austerity cuts have targeted women – that is, carers and those we
care for. While the 1 per cent more than doubled their income in the last 10
years, and the arms trade has grown by 22 per cent, one billion children
worldwide live in poverty, 3.7m in the UK and 176,565 surviving on food
banks. Society cannot survive without caring, yet carers are undermined not
supported.”
She is 100% correct. Nina devotes her time and energy into supporting women who have been abused, traumatised, harmed and maimed in seeking justice through the courts.
Nurturing life is our primary biological directive.
and Selma James, in an article the Guardian commissioned, yet did not publish.
"It is women who have been the target of every attack on the welfare state. It’s not news that jobs women have lost were often waged service and caring work, and that women as unwaged carers have been deprived of the services they need to do their job. What job? Why, reproducing the human race. How did that get sidelined? Austerity attacks carers first of all. In 90% of families the primary carer is a woman. Austerity is sexist.

We have got used to measuring sexism by lack of female access to the
commanding heights of the economy and politics, that is, by the very few
women realising their personal ambition. Thus we may not recognise
pervasive and even life-threatening sexism when it hits us.
Yvette Cooper, a contender for Labour’s leadership wants the party of labourers to prioritise women’s capability for ‘the top jobs’. As Secretary of State for Work and Pensions she brought in the Welfare Reform Act 2009 which abolished Income Support and extended Labour’s infamous Work Capability Assessment for sick and disabled people.
The money that recognised unwaged caring work, enabled single mothers to leave violent men, and allowed disabled people to live independent lives, is largely gone or under threat. No one knows how many disabled people have died as a result: the government refuses to publish the figures.

Women have been the prime targets of all three austerity parties
since it is caring they’re attacking. Women are ‘workless’ according to
Tony Blair and his ‘Babes’ unless we do what men are supposed to do, go
out to work – not for the top jobs but the zero-hour contracts at the
bottom."
