- Re: Assuming Matriarchy's existance...

- For me, the issue isn't open to debate.
- Christians have faith that the Son of
- God walked the earth, and I have faith
- that long ago, there was a culture
- oriented around women's values which
- flourished and provided the roots
- for that which was to come. Hopefully
- that culture may manifest itself again.

- it necessary to rebel. If the society
- was totally alienated from violence, where did the sons learn it?

- Here, I'll make statements you don't
- like; men are more hormonal about lots
- and lots of things. Violence and sex
- being two of the more popular. I'm
- not implying that women don't like
- sex or can't fight; it's just that in
- my experience, men seem to have these
- innate, possibly biological urges to
- fuck and break things, as often as
- possible. I'm guilty of it as well;
- it's something I want to learn to
- express in ways that won't end up
- contributing to an oppressive culture.
-
- Where did they learn it? I think it
- was genetically encoded; instinct.
- That doesn't mean that men are "flawed"
- just that were different. When those
- differences are expressed in ways
- that don't opress people, there isn't
- a problem. When they ARE used to
- opress, there is.
