@Gina I'd take benevolent empress over this any day!

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@goose heck yeah (straight to jail)

@Gina
The female front-runner for the next Japanese prime minister; and a couple of the most prominent female Swedish politicians are all far-right conservatives, with hearty helpings of religious fanaticism in one or two cases.

I'll just skip the matriarchy bit if it's ok with you.

@jannem meh you can't avoid a few sell-outs.

@Gina
Trying to get one or the other is hard enough. Im not even sure socialism exists anymore.

@gina@fosstodon.org When men discover the function of sperm, the transition from matriarchy to patriarchy occurs. This discovery occurs over time, because almost a year passes between the sexual act and the birth of children. So humans wonder whose child will that child be? To ensure paternity, men must subjugate women, thus making women the property of men, and patriarchy and the private ownership of women and children are born. Matriarchy disappears and patriarchy arises in its place.

@piero jup, also why men had to invent religion. Women are the literal givers of life but now a "father" created all of humanity? Okay sure guys.

@gina@fosstodon.org In matriarchy, the function of sperm was unknown, and the deities were female. When the function of sperm was discovered, the transition to patriarchy took place, the deities became male, and God the Father was born.

@piero Correct. Have you by any chance read the book "When God Was a Woman" by Merlin Stone? It's about this exact topic.

@gina@fosstodon.org No, I follow the historian, philosopher, and YouTuber Serafino Massoni. He wrote the book "From Matriarchy to Patriarchy."

@Gina @goose my fear is that a woman willing to do what it takes to get to the top politically, will be no more benevolent than a man in the same case.

But, that said, can't be any worse than what's going on in most places.

I watched Idiocracy the other day, it was more painful than entertaining.
