Who here is a feminist?

[Kiko]

But how did the patriarchy start? That's what I'm asking. Talk me through it. What are its origins? How did it develop? If you don't know the answer to that, is there anyone here who does and who could explain it?

Have you read anything, anyone has posted since you started off on this misogynistic tangent of yours?

The best guess is, men put themselves in power a few thousand years ago, back when sheer muscle was enough to put/keep yourself in power. They also instituted religious dogma that justified their positions of power by saying it was gods will. Those traditions were carried on, from one generation to the next, never really being questioned. Now that people are questioning them, we're finding that they aren't really important anymore.

Ok, so you "guess" that men decided one day to just put themselves in power. I see. What led you to this epiphany? Feminism is based on the concept of there being a nasty, evil patriarchy, and yet all you can do is guess. Ok, fair enough, I suppose a guess is as good as knowing. I guess E=MC2, I guess the earth revolves around the sun.

So, tell me more. How did the patriarchy develop? In which part of the world did it start? Or was it everywhere? Did it all happen at the same time, or over a period of time? Was it planned or did it just happen spontaneously, like a surprise party? Was there initial resistance to this coup? Please, expand on your guess. Was there a meeting? Or did all the men involved just instinctively know what to do? Were any women involved at all, or was it strictly a men's club? Did women not at least make the tea at meetings? Were there any female honorary members?

Another thing I'd like to know, if you don't mind. Why did women never try something similar? Did they not ever think to reclaim power in some sort of sneaky, underhanded way? Did it never occur to any women to do this?

I'm really interested to learn as much about the patriarchy as possible from you, since you seem to have a pretty good guess. Tell me everything you know.

Any other feminists, please feel free to weigh in.
