The History of Patriarchy"

   Once a long time ago, in a past made up, boys and girls wern't

judged by what happened where their legs met. For a brief period of

time, people experimented with a Heirachy based on what happened when

their arm and torso met...behold the power of my hairy armpits!                                       But Pitarchy never really caught on.

    One day some guy named Pat had the not-so-bright idea of a Heirachy based on what was between people's legs. He called it Patriarchy.                                                     "Hey Pat, you just named this after yourself, didn't you?"

"Hmm...No?"

     At first Patriarchy seemed just a dumb as Pitarchy, but then half the people realized they could be better off than the other half and soon Patriarchy ravaged the Country side...                                                                                                                                                "Uh! Run! It's the forces of domination culture!

     Since only men got to write books and teach higher education,as time went on people thought it was a good thing. Males would write "Feelings, (like Love), makes me feel weak."                                                                                                                                         A wimmyn said "I'm too ruled by emotion to understand complex thought."...

     Eventually a group of wimmin realized that contrary to popular vernacular, they didn't need any balls to be brave, and started a movement called feminism, almost 200 years have now passed and although much progress has been made, Patriarchy remains, unfortnatly.

Most men just don't want to give any power back to women.

     Woman says "I'm not a doormat" and males yell back "feminazi".

Some wimmin wanted radical change. They wanted Equality and continued to say "I'm still not a doormat"..." males continue to claim "Feminazi".

     So they got the mass media to spin "equality" to mean "anti-man".

Comedy shows would boast, and talk show host would preach "And these women are going to leave their husbands and become lesbians, and go to practicing witchcraft".

     When in fact, most radical feminist don't hate men...they just hate what many men do to what they consider their property, women, and children. "You act like your opinion is more valid than mine". Also you keep referring to me as a child, and as a "sexual object". Maybe you should seek counseling...

     Around this same time, when women began to see this, some of the other men began to see how it was affected them too and another movement began evolving, Anarchy, which claimed to be against all Hierachy. But in this movement Patriarchy was still present like "I thought that dishes could just wash themselves", "I don't care if the floor gets swept, if your thinking I should take my time and energy to do it...

     So anyway, think about these things...The End
