The myths of patriarchy

Along the history of patriarchy, a lot of myths were created in order to explain the inferior position of women in society, including the sexual restrictions. The Bible and the Greek legends are such examples. Only the modern age, with its “sciences” like Freudian psychoanalysis and socio-biology (evolutionary psychology) dares to claim that this is […]

Covid-19 and patriarchy

For the women here: what is worse, Covid-19 or patriarchy? I think Covid-19 gives you chances. Patriarchy kills more women directly (domestic violence, forced birth, septic abortions when abortions are banned) and alternates their lives more than the isolation or quarantine. Living in patriarchy is like a perpetual fight with an unseen enemy which is […]

The 8 of March

Today is the day of women rights. This day should be the day of the fight against patriarchy. In patriarchy, women are not human beings, but slaves, i.e. talking tools. Even today, women have not full political, economic rights. In the Ancient Athens, slaves had no right to be elected, because any sexual abused person […]

Women and feminism

I will never understand why most women can’t understand feminism. They don’t understand the roots of their oppression: patriarchy. They deny it when feminists show it. They don’t react to misogyny, they are afraid of feminism and feminists and show sympathy to classical, obviously misogynist authors. They even talk the so-called “badly understood” feminism. Opinion?

Lesbianism

Lesbianism is morality, sincerity, courage. Women who made the choice of becoming lesbians when they were very young showed strength, dignity, courage and intelligence. We all should make the difference between the people with real moral strength and the others. The most important values are universal. Conditions may be harsh, but some people overcome the […]

Radical feminism

What is radical feminism? It is a feminist current which states that dismantling patriarchy is the only solution for women liberation. Not specific laws, they are not enough. In order to dismantle patriarchy, we have to know what it is. When did it appear? Why? If we know the conditions which led to its creation, we […]

Question

One question: do you consider a book which tries to warn girls and young women about the danger of het relationships (at least in patriarchy), a radical feminist one? We have to take into account that at least in some cares, sexual orientation, especially in women, may be a choice. Do you consider that saving […]

Discovery when trying to promote “7000 years”. “Feminist” prejudices

People don’t want to find out the truth, as I discovered. What is patriarchy? Why is it possible? What does it support it? Which are the mechanisms which lead to its sustainability? How can we destroy it?No, this doesn’t matter if these analyses imply some nasty ideas about women cooperation, hierarchy in men and women […]

Commitment in patriarchy

Men need time in order to commit to a relationship with a woman. Maybe that time, often years, reflects how much time a man needs in order to consider a woman – a human being. During that time, he discovers and accepts, in a hard and reversible process, a woman’s humanity. Women don’t need so much […]
