In addition to the project, Allebest is best known for her viral 2016 Medium article titled “Dear Mormon Man, Tell Me What You Would Do.” The Breaking Down Patriarchy project uses essential historical texts to better understand the origins of patriarchy and to deconstruct its unjust effects on our minds, relationships, and communities. The project envisions a world in which all human beings are able to flourish and reach their unique potential. We strive to include as many voices as possible, and our work is intersectional and inclusive. We are also firmly committed to the well-being of boys and men, and we enthusiastically and gratefully enlist the help of our non-female allies in creating an egalitarian world where everyone can thrive. - Where To Find Us - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bdownpatriarchy/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@breakingdownpatriarchy Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BreakingDownPatriarchy Starring Amy McPhie Allebest Written by Celeste Davis Script Supervisor: Amy McPhie Allebest Videographer and Editor: Ralph Blair
