NO STARS, ALL TAKE | reviewing _Women Who Run With the Wolves_ by Clarissa Pinkola Estes


Anthromorphistic allegories to encapsulate "spiritual oneness". Snarling at the systemic and submissive, if not aligned with our inherent nature. Rationalize the prey and potentialize the predator. Women Who Run With the Wolves is empowering without being eye-rollingly hierarchical against gender. These adaptations of unapologetic assertiveness are devoted to the metaphoric and matter-of-fact untaming of the female psyche.

"One of the least disgust issues of individuation is that as one shines light into the dark of the psyche as strongly as one can, the shadows, where the light is not, grow even darker. So when we illuminate some parts of the psyche, there is a resultant deeper dark to contend with. This start cannot be left alone. The key, the questions, cannot be hidden or forgotten. They must be asked. They must be answered.

The deepest work is usually the darkest.

[. . .] To remedy this, we as women must look into the killing thing that has gained hold of us, see the result of its grisly work, register it all consciously, and retain it in consciousness, and then act in our, not it, behalf."

"Given the shifting state of the law, people seeking an abortion, or any kind of reproductive healthcare that might end with the termination of a pregnancy, may need to pay close attention to their digital privacy and security. We've previously covered how those involved in the abortion access movement can keep themselves and their communities safe. We've also laid out a principled guide for platforms to respect user privacy and rights to bodily autonomy. This post is a guide specifically for anyone seeking an abortion and worried about their digital privacy.
