"Writer Lucy Ellmann calls for a return to matriarchy to fix our broken world." Comic relief in terrible times (unintended of course, the writer means every word)

I'd like to thank this feminist for admitting their ONLY problem with oppressive systems of power is who controls them.

Narcissistic feminists are common. Ignoring all the evidence of women's violence and harassment of "others", is iconic in feminist ideological fantacy

>It's just the most terrible disaster that ever happened

The Banqiao Dam collapse killed over 110,000 people and displaced 10 million more.

>This is a total tragedy for humanity — and caused by men.

Really? Lise Meitner is literally the person who discovered nuclear fission.

So she denies the accomplishments of female scientists while also blaming men, all while ignoring the tragedy of something caused by the failure of a non nuclear boogeyman.

>There is a sort of a break in my brain between the men I actuallyknow — most of whom have always been perfectly civilized and kind to me —and the men I know about who don't seem so nice. I don't think it'sparanoia. Someone who stays indoors too much and reads the news and getstoo scared about being mugged if she goes out of the house. I think menreally are, as a group, behaving very badly.

So she admits she stays indoors too much and doesn't actually know what it's like outside, but then thinks it can't be paranoia.

>But there are things men could do in general. Normal men, inwhatever environment they find themselves in, to — if they only care toenough — to revise this surrender to patriarchy. I mean, they've gotupper body strength. They could really make this happen if they gavethemselves to it. If they gave a damn.

"Anyone who isn't solving my problems for me must not care. The fact I'm not doing anything but resigning to screaming out about it-and admitting as such-isn't an indictment of my sincerity at all."

>We also know something about matriarchy, which I mean, for onething, based on the fact that archeologists, or some of them at least,have suggested that matriarchy lasted for hundreds of thousands ofyears. And it was a peaceful society. It was a stable, healthy societyand there were no nuclear bombs and there was no pollution.

Yeah the Iroquois were matriarchal, and they engaged in wars with the French and other native tribes over game territory. They were no stranger to blood feuds common in the Americas as well.

This is just another dime a dozen out of touch feminist.

Feminists: Men caused all the problems we see today

Also feminists: women contributed just as much to society as men, but the patriarchy refuses to acknowledge them.

"And we know what men can do with money and power, and it's not good. We also know something about matriarchy, which I mean, for one thing, based on the fact that archeologists, or some of them at least, have suggested that matriarchy lasted for hundreds of thousands of years. And it was a peaceful society. It was a stable, healthy society and there were no nuclear bombs and there was no pollution."

She forgot "there was no electricity, plumbing, motorised transport, printing, machinery..." Instead there was...child sacrifice! Yea! Go the matriarchy!

Matriarchal societies don't evolve beyond hunter gatherers...and no one is willing to give up all there modern day conveniences to go back to the stone age...

Author that no-one gives a shit about says something stupid to help sell a book which no-one will read.

how can we have a "return" to matriarchy? i thought women were always controlled by men in a patriarchy?

is she suggesting women DID have power historically??

could it be perhaps that rather than men vs women the struggle was, as is today, of poor vs wealthy? common vs elite?

hmm... interesting.
