My family is too fractured to have a matriarch. My aunt thinks she's it, but no one pays a blessed bit of attention to her. Poor thing - she lives in her ivory tower of Los Angeles life and occasionally checks in on us lost souls.
More to the point, though - I've been arguing the egalitarianism of sexism for quite a while and no one seemed to think I was pointing out the obvious: that by continuing to treat men like they were inherently evil and/or stupid was just as bad as them doing so to women, and contributed to the problem rather than led to any sort of equality. Make it less shameful for men to be stay-at-home figures, you'll see more women become the corporate leaders instead. Stop acting like the man should take care of you if you want to be Ms Independent. Dave Chapelle cracked me up when he joked about how women complained that chivalry was dead. " 'You never take me anywhere anymore.' Bitch, you make more than me, you never take ME anywhere anymore." Stop bitching if a man opens a door for you (I've seen women throw a shit-fit). Stop laying blame and start taking what you want instead. That goes for all races, all religions, all genders - no one has power over you unless you give it to them first.
And in the meantime, don't disparage on those of us who like giving over power either.
