Dr. Amina Darwish gives spiritual insights about re-imagining womanhood when the prevailing thought might be women are better than men in every way and don’t need men at all. Men are misogynistic and just aim to suppress women in every way. Women must live to fight men. Women are only held back by systems of oppression like patriarchy and must live to dismantle them all.
