Artists as Activists Mention of the Day: The latest from V (formerly Eve Ensler), author of "The Vagina Monologues," and an RFC advisory board member. A powerful take on how societies the world wide have enabled a "severe setback to women's liberation" during the chaos of the pandemic. Just as with "disaster capitalism," V says, disaster patriarchy takes "full advantage of the virus to reclaim power" because, indeed, patriarchy "has never been truly deconstructed, and like an untreated virus it will return with a vengeance when the conditions are ripe."
