Much of my content is on the ending of rule by force.
One of the main beneficiaries of the end of rule by force will be women, and children.
It is amazing the depth of the double think that it takes to reconcile a child's first lesson being 'do as you are told or violence', and the child using violence to equalize their power dynamics in their lives.
We all just wait until we are growed up, and it's our turn to dish it out.
I mean, violence does work, and quickly.
It pushes the inevitable down the road quite nicely.
However, it inevitably leads to slave revolts.
As we see playing out in the headlines today.
The Problem: Civilization, Male Supremacy, Women & Radical Feminism
A Brief History of Patriarchy
By Dr. Gerda Lerner

This article was originally a talk given in 2004 in North Carolina by historian Gerda Lerner, who was 84 years old at the time.
Gerda describes the creation (social construction) of patriarchy based on hierarchy and enslavement.
She describes how this system is antiquated and dangerous to men and women.
I’m doing something very difficult today and that is I’m going to talk about 2,500 years of history in 50 minutes.
So, you will have to accept on faith that the facts I’m citing are amply proven by examples, but I can’t give you the examples.
They are in the book, but I think in the discussion next week we will have a chance to go into more concrete examples.
And what I was, what I’m trying to tell you also, is that studying the ancient near East, which is the area around in which all the trouble is going on now – the current day Iraq, Iran, and Saudi Arabia between the Euphrates and the Tigris – which is where Western civilization started – it’s very interesting for a historian because the sources are very much more plentiful than our sources are for say 13th century Europe.
And the reason is that the people there wrote on clay tablets and clay tablets don’t destruct as paper does – and as papyrus does – so we have tens of thousands of pieces of evidence for everything that I’m going to say.
No one is free while any one is still enslaved.
We can't be free alone.
Thanks for sharing great read!
