("Was Patriarchy a Women's Scheme to Control Men?")

On this theme: The feminazis screeched about "womans roll" as a thing that women were locked into but they never pointed out that MEN had roles that they were just as "locked into". Now men have no cultural role to speak of and women do more work and carry more responsability than they ever did.

Matrichal(sp?) societies are based on enforced equality. That is why when women get in control of an industry or disipline or profession they immeadiately banish hirearchy and form a circle. (everyone has an equal voice)Men tend to form a rank in a meritocracy, this FORCES excellence. As Maggie Gallagher observed in the NYPost: when women enter a field the field loses prestiege.

Once society controlled male aggression by defining manhood. Watch any movie or TV show pre 1968. The males role was clearly limned, over and over and over, and any violence indulged in had VERY strict rules governing it.

Now the individual male defines manhood for himself. Not a good plan. Society has LOST control of the male.

Not quite. A circle is a womens hierarchy which can be just as rigid as a male hierarchy. Rather than having decisions being made by whoever has the best track-record, decisions are made by whoever has the temperment to argue, and argue, and argue, until everyone else gives in. This gives women a big advantage. (I work in an environment where I can observe this close up)
