Acceptance / Re: Transgender But Not Transitioning
« Last post by Moobzie on Today at 03:10:03 PM »There is also a whole bunch of historico-archeological evidence that matriarchal societies were not all that benevolent - lots and lots of infanticide. Unjust violence is not limited to males (Cleopatra's Egypt, Elizabethan and Victorian England - duh!).
The book you showed the link to has some major historical falsehoods. The author's thesis that patriarchy is the father (pun intended!) of all aggression while matriarchalism is pacific - using monarchial England as an example - is ludicrous (just ask the Scots and the Irish!!!). And claiming that humanity was mostly peaceful until those terrible Jews invented violence and those terrible Catholics "demoted" Christ's Mother is asinine.
Human history - actual history - is far more complex, nuanced, and interesting than the crap-headed bigotry in that book.
