from O YE DRYBONES (FEB 2019 - JAN 2025) · host DRYBONES

No one knows when man first domesticated the dog. Evidencesuggests that "man" didn't do it at all; woman did it. In myth, dogs accompanied only the Goddess, guarding the gates of her after-world. Semitic tradition transformed the Goddess into the Angel of Death One of the oldest of these gods was Egyptian Anubis, brought from central Asia at a very early date under the name of Up-Uat,"Opener of the Way." He was also known as Mates, "He of the Mother.  Anubis came to Rome as a leading character in the Osirian Mysteries. We have to find a way to stamp out patriarchy for all women, regardless of their race or income. Sexual harassment isn’t just a problem in the glamorous upper echelons of Hollywood and the Media and Capitol Hill. It’s a problem at fast food restaurants, and hotels, and farms and just about every other underpaid industry across America. Make no mistake, it’s a worse problem in those places. Minority women are more likely to experience sexual harrassement than White Women .white woman like Ashley Judd stands up to Harvey Weinstein, the world pays attention. Tarana Burke, Creator of The #MeToo Campaign,Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/o-ye-drybones-archive--6500709/support.
