Patriarchy

Some brief thoughts about patriarchy.  I don’t think it could ever work at this point in time to push women back into a more patriarchally controlled existence.  Women on the whole are too enlightened.  Anything that tries to move itself into the realm of patriarchy will ultimately fail.  And if men attempt to push women into it through channels of power and control, they won’t truly be loved.  Is this what men who know better would ever really want?  I think men on the whole are also more enlightened at this point in time.  They understand.   It is the men who respect their partners as equals who will be the most cherished and loved and it is also the most loving and right thing to do.

I personally don’t think that attempts to push our society backwards in time, in this regard, could stand much chance of making any lasting progress.  Progress is a force that moves forward.  You can’t really make progress in moving backward.  You will inevitably just get swept back in the direction of the changing tide.
