world for the next couple of hundred years. Let's face it, men have been running it for most of our recorded history--they have fucked it up big time. War, Violence, Abuse, Domination --seem to be how men like to run things. Why cooperate if you can kill or take by force?
This is the ongoing legacy of patriarchy--paternalism, racism,violence. Patriarchy needs to be rooted out of our society. Neither sex needs to dominate the other.

(Not a blanket condemnation of all men--my husband to name just one is a very enlightened non-violent liberal guy)
