these images are making me emotional lol even just the image of the hands. kind face strong hands. it is interesting to me that patriarchy is predicated on the idea of women as weak and also inherent caregivers when ethical, effective caregiving is an integration of kindness and strength. the strength tells the little one being cared for that they don't have to worry about the caregiver and they can focus on processing what is inside. but that strength is not something that can be summoned out of nothing - "to stay bigger, stronger, wiser, and kind, you need to talk with another adult and let them help you"
