the Death of Patriarchialism

After some 5000 years of male-centered societies evolving.....from & in........our quest for self-realization.......I believe we are staggering towards a very real possibility of gender-unity. Current research, for example, is pointing out that women's numbers are steadily exceeding men in university level education. This supports the feminist movement's goals which were initially established in France in the 1800s.
In a retrospective point of view, it could be philosophically postulated that the great period of man's anthropocentric self-portrait thru physical size and strength........is finally coming to a close.....though it may take a century or two.....if we don't self-destruct.....to accomplish such.
Whether or not you realize it......male-dominated societies created all current industrialism on earth. It is the primitive nature of mankind to build security....by increase.....rather than by comprehensive balance. The result is all current dilema including war, pollution, species extinction, etc etc etc.
I am not removing women from equal responsibility in my statement.....regardless of about 30,000 years of female-ruled societies pre-dating male........for women of the last 5000 years have to share the responsibility as a matter of evolutionary principle since they chose to support these traditions....and suffer at the hands of patriarchialistic autocracy.....and finally begin to collectively recognize that the only permanent solution to modern problems is a balancing of creative force in both genders. It is my belief we are in a time of avail-ability if we seek to understand the problems we've created on global scales.........as a period of evolutionary change. Anything less won't work.
It is speculative as well.......whether or not we can orchestrate the needed changes in attitudes both personally and collectively to meet these global challenges. If we can't............the future we face is not a prosperous future for humanity....................and it is my personal belief.........we've all been at this point before........and missed it.

Breeze....I've a bit of a pet-peeve when it comes to prophecy....I must confess....its kind of like a psychic. Once you understand 'infinity' swallows everything and then spits it back out....the circle ain't so difficult to recognize.

Wonderful post hon...I tend to agree..not because I am a woman..just more the study of history. We would do well to go back to more balanced living of life as in centuries past..in tune with the earth rather than against her.
