what do you think |
This is only a personal opinion, but I think female dominate cultures were replaced by male dominate cultures from regions with harsh envioronments where cultures evolved differently. That is a harsh environments favored aggressive males, and gentle environments favored cultures with more passive males and more dominate females.
Those in the seats of power will be the ones who get to define reality, so once the agrressive males came to power, of course they created a concept of reality that favored their ego's making their male dominence the most desirable social characteristic, and justifying subjecting females and others (including slaves or low wage workers) to their domination. There is a whole lot wrong with this value system. Iraq is the most recent example of what is wrong with this value system.
The Christian bible most definitely favors aggressive male dominate cultures. The story of Able and Cain tells us God favors the hunters who provide animal sacrifices to farmers who give the fruits and vegetables of their labor. It goes on to tell us the people of God are doing God's will when they extreminate others and take their land. The rightness of this has been carried on by Christians and Muslims.
Of course feminine, weak and neurotic, must mean inferior according to this value system, making it okay to exploit women and others. Men who are effeminate have the status of women. Manly is proven by fathering male children. Sterilization makes a man less of a man. These are perfectively rational concepts. :rolleyes:
