The Bonobo Sisterhood
“Women have been taught to speak softly and carry lipstick. Those days are over.”
Bella Abzug
"Barkley Sound Secrets"
"Internationally renowned legal expert Diane L. Rosenfeld has made it her life’s work to address the supposedly impossible problem of patriarchal violence.
After years of advocating for victims in the courtroom, teaching at Harvard Law School, creating its Gender Violence Program, and spearheading groundbreaking changes to legal policy, Rosenfeld found the secret to revolutionary change in an unlikely source: the bonobos, our closest evolutionary cousins.
These fascinating animals, in stark contrast to other primates, have evolutionarily eliminated male sexual coercion. And they did it by forming female alliances."
The document is from 2015 and the problem has not been solved but exploded expotentially.
Please take a moment to read the comments which appear at the bottom of the trailer on YouTube and you will note the magnitude of the problem.
Our thanks to Dr. Rosenfeld for the above information and photos.
Thank you for sharing your insight regarding The Bonobos and developing the Sisterhood.
The available education and behavior changing information is profound.
I used the Bonobo Sisterhood in one of my novels where five women are dining in "Santa Barbara Secrets" at a favorite haunt of Elise, my editor.
They strike up a relationship with two men, a couple, and upon exiting at the end of the evening the seven are pounced upon with verbal harassment from five homophob males.
The couple take a step back not wanting yet one more encounter with bigots. The Sisterhood moved forward with physical interaction.
The five bigots were hospitalized.
The Sisterhood includes a SB police detective, two retired secret service agents, their former supervisor, and a retired Wyoming veterinarian trained in defensive tactics by Rebecca, one of the agents,
I've quoted you in my current work, "Women Law Enforcers Investigating Luxury Secrets" regarding the magnitude of our patriarchal society.
Thank you for your valuable contribution to girls and women, assisting the gender to excel the #Me Too movement.
