Thank you for the props. 🙂 When a post gets “eaten”, it’s a WordPress issue. Their software analyzes posts, timing, etc. and if it looks like it may be spam, it seems to disappear, but usually ends up in the posts to moderate. Sometimes you get a notification, and sometimes not. Either way, at that point the blogger has to approve it manually.

One of the reasons my views are a bit unusual for a fairly modern woman, especially a Pagan, is that the first few years of my life, my Dad was my primary caregiver. He studied history in university, and was a jazz musician, so he worked mostly at night and on weekends. He was the one home with me during the day.

My parents, at the time, were also “black” militants, and though the somewhat nazi style child prodigy building bits were creepy in hindsight, early childhood was the best years of my life. I got a strong foundation in the fact that men are not the enemy early on, that continued in the form of great friendships and relationships later on. This is not to say that all my interactions with men have been great, just that when they haven’t been, I could never dismiss things as, “Well, that’s just how men are,” implying that men are inherently bad/worse than women unless I was dealing with malevolence, which is just as frequent, if not more, in women. So my thoughts would run along the lines of, “Well, that’s just how people are sometimes.”

So the Chateau has been helpful for me in working out some of the bugs that crept in through miseducation and society, and I always hope that I’m giving something back. I’m repping for the sassy broads who may not yet be able to articulate their problems with feminism, but are very sure that “equality” is not what it’s getting us. It’s just trying to make socioeconomic class and money a replacement for beauty, loyalty, and home skills.
