FEMININE RILES

Patriarchy is a dysfunctional social system which originated a brief 3 to 5 millennia ago. It is a human artefact built on the concepts of male superiority and misogyny, militarism, slavery, the dominance of a few, the expendability of the many, the objectification of "the other", including our Mother the Earth, and the hatred of anyone not of our tribe, as well as those of the tribe who do not slavishly and mindlessly follow its rules for behaviour.
