...like walking at night, saying no to a man, flirting, not flirting, etc.
There are tons of other reasons for practicing #jiujitsu, but i felt a familiar thread in this book. Even if we haven't experienced the worst trauma where you end up in a hospital clinging to life, we can relate - it's all around us. Still we find ways to exist and thrive.

I'm going to bring up #jiujitsu here, if i may. I'll put a quarter in the jar. I wonder if that's why some of us women are drawn to #bjj. I have heard that women who have endured trauma are likely to turn to #selfdefense classes or #jiujitsu. This is simulated violence in a controlled setting. There are risks there and we are fully accepting/consenting - unlike the risks in daily life...

Most compelling is the idea presented that the danger of #arctic survival is preferable to living in the violence that comes from the #patriarchal #racist #capitalist systems (rather than a system that values all people equally). In arctic survival, one consents to the activity/risk. Nature has no agenda, doesn't desire power. I get it. I don't like being cold, but i get it!

Highly recommend.
I read this one in two days. Literally couldn't stop reading. Adventure, travel, dogs, quirky people. Perfection. It was also like the TV show, Life Below Zero about life in the #arctic, but with the added and necessary critique of the #toxicmasculinity often associated with the attraction of going north after survival classes with an air of superiority and living in the cold away from city comforts.

Ignoring some terrible amateur political punditry on FB, so I'm indulging some #reading obsessions via #usedbooks.
