Anthony,
What you don’t get is that a false dichotomy cannot stand. Matriarchy vs. Patriarchy is a canard. Any culture that was Matriarchal in governance receded into oblivion and economic failure. The auspices have been taken and contrary to your prediction, the social construct that currently stands is but a scaffold. What lies underneath is reality and it is quite hard. When the scaffold, erected by men, collapses—where will the matriarchy be then? Where will the matriarchy be when a foreign or domestic boot marches on our soil, having been prepared for war? They will run behind the men, wailing, lamenting and begging any man to defend them, as gender specific behaviors (so often denied by the female) dictate—and the men this time will take the children while the women, who never appreciated the men or the children that were allowed to live by their capricious ‘choice’ in contravention of the Natural Law, will be raped, maimed, killed and left bereft of those material and physical relations they so coveted and manipulated to keep. No, Anthony, you are the outmoded one, as are the notions that have bewitched your mind. May St. Gianna Beretta Molla, a true feminist, haunt you in your dreams.
