Dismantling the Patriarchy in Dog Culture
The Patriarchy, capital P, is fully present in dog culture, from the language we use to talk about dogs to how we interact with them. There are a few reasons I want to address this topic, and why I thought it would be useful for dog moms. One, the Patriarchy is damaging. It hurts us (humans) and it hurts our dogs. Two, Patriarchal influence in dog culture limits our relationship with our dogs, and my goal is to always help you live your fullest dog mom life. Lastly, any area where we can begin to dismantle the Patriarchy weakens the system as a whole, and that’s a win in my book.
