None of us can escape nonconsensual power relationships. We did not and could not have chosen to be born to our parents, who in turn could not have avoided exerting power over us if they wanted to raise us at all. Those of us who have children will be in that position too.https://twitter.com/KatMurti/status/1133425127033638914 …

Thinking that power is the problem, or even power exercised nonconsensually, doesn't work either. It just incentivizes you to lie to yourself (and then others) about the ways in which you have and exert power.

I imagine all of this was obvious to previous generations; that it's not now is a manifestation of trauma that we now have around our families and around power, which can and must be healed if we want to raise children and take on the mantle of power ourselves.
