Anonymous C'mon, Vixen. You can't be serious... what about every other homo species before sapiens. Males also being stronger and with a body structure more prepare for powerful and intense activities. Was this also result of patriarchy?

Ah yes, I did read about some pre-homo sapiens hunter skeleton findings in one of my science magazines just last week. It was real interesting! The hunters skeleton couldn’t tell much about he physical fitness of the day, nothing we have can do that, alas we can only guess.

Did I mention that the skeleton was female?

You know what is the result of patriarchy? Modern day anthropology, paleonthology and archeology. Believe it or not, it’s actually pretty hard to discern male and female skeletons (they don’t actually come with a mammoth imprint on the forehead for males and berries imprint on the forehead for females, as many of you evo-psychs probably believe), and most sex-determination of skeletons has been done by males and the reasons used for judging sex has been simply because they thought it was male/female based on their death/burial. Skeleton got damages caused by claws? Probably male. Skeleton got buried with jewelry? Probably female.

The only reason that particular female hunter skeleton was deemed as female was because it still had intact teeth and was in overall in such a good shape that sex could be judged in actual scientific ways other than male guessings and wishful thinking. If the skeleton had no reliable way of determining sex, it would have been classed as a male skeleton.

More and more discoveries like this is being made as reliable determination methods are being developed. Men have done their best to shape history to fit their wishes and delusions as well as justifications for their oppression of women.

Furthermore, males are also fond of proving their superiority based on solely what they choose to be signs of superiority. Physical strength, violence, aggression, what have you. All traits that men call superior and also all traits that men really favors in themselves. Kinda hard to lose if you make up the rules, don’t you think? This has been used to justify oppression against women, because women tend to lack those traits.

Meanwhile, did you know women can fucking create life??

But that’s according to men, a weakness. Because men can’t. To make up for it, they imagine male gods that create all life instead. That’s the only way life creation is deemed powerful, all-powerful even.

Men are so invested and wrapped up in their own self-delusion of power that they completely disregard the facts that they made up the rules for what constitutes as power and furthermore manipulates the world so that it suits their beliefs. One of the beliefs being their birthright to oppress and rule over anything they deem to be weaker, and again, as they decide is weakness.
