The author presents information about societies and religious beliefs from the past, based on cooperation and partnership between men and women, with no 'war of the sexes', in order to show that this is truly possible. Qualities like kindness, cooperation, and compassion are merely given lip service, or sometimes even ridiculed, especially when present in males-recently called "girlymen".Įven in the unlikely event that women were to replace men as the dominant sex, that is only the other side of the same coin. These are the same qualities that have always been valued in heirarchies, where it is believed that for me to win, you have to lose.
Although the women's movement has had some successes, it has mostly been by proving that women can be more like the ideal man: competitive, aggressive, manipulative, etc. Our civilization is founded on domination and heirarchy. Vision of a society based on cooperation instead of competition, developed in part from archaeological evidence of similar societies.
