Roots rock reggae and the existential crisis.
There are many existential crises in the world. The most common one is being a cog in the capitalist machine, a drone who works hard for little pay and no benefits while corporations get richer every day by your misery. There is also the crisis of emaciation; having to work on diets or dangerous weight loss methods just to fit into society's standards. Then there is the female existential crisis where women need to decide whether they should continue putting up with patriarchal standards or raise awareness about their issues.
Being a cog in the machine is no fun. I'd rather be the man pulling the levers and pushing buttons than one of those cogs, but it seems like no matter how hard you work as an elite member of society you still have to deal with all these problems that oppress people.
The female existential crises is something that has been going on for a long time. I think the patriarchy was already entrenched thousands of years ago. It's during this time that men began to feel like they were the superior gender and women should submit to their will.
I'm not even sure if men are really superior to women. Some men feel the need to dominate and control everything, but there is another aspect of manhood that allows you to be kinder and more compassionate.
There are two ways to deal with the female existential crises. The first is to continue putting up with it, which means swallowing your pride and continuing to put up with patriarchal standards of dress and behavior. The second is rejecting these standards that have been forced upon you by society.
On one hand, you lose the respect of many people in society. On the other hand, you gain freedom from these social norms that have been enforced upon women.
