Snatch-22!
Society’s vulnerable has always been the victims of catch-22 situations.
For example, for the homeless, a catch-22 is that they cannot get a bank account without an address. But they cannot afford to get an address without a bank account to deposit funds into.
Women are too often the victims of catch-22, with one of the more horrific being the brutal trial by ordeal accused witches were subjected to: If she survived, then she was guilty and had to die. But, if the ordeal killed her, she was innocent and did not have to die.
A contemporary example is to be found in the work environment: A woman has to be nice at work if she wants to be promoted. But the nicer she is the less likely she is to be seen as a serious candidate for promotion.
That is the crux of the problem that this series addresses.
Being the family dog can be attractive.

But dog, or woman, it’s a bit rough if you get a bastard running the house.
The most patriarchal cultures turn their women into representatives of their honour – labelling them defective creatures, which must be hidden away for their own protection.
〰 ⚤ 〰
Men in these cultures consider any woman out-of-doors, unaccompanied by her male owner, to be a slut who deserves to be groped, abused, raped and/or killed.
〰 ⚤ 〰
However, every woman in these cultures must at some time walk unaccompanied, if for no other reason than to collect firewood or water, or to bring comfort to the sick and dying, or to aid in childbirth, or to flee abuse.
〰 ⚤ 〰
The result: Every woman in these cultures has a target on her back.
The Earth has been dying since patriarchal man became its master.

The Patriarchy is a male dominated society which objectifies the “other” – women, BIPOC, minorities, animals, plants, resources, the environment, our Mother, the Earth.
An object is a possession – a toy you are free to use, abuse, or destroy as you please. And if the toy gets broken, why you just get a new one!
〰 ⚤ 〰
The Patriarchy is a “slave” society which produces grown men who are narcissistic egomaniacs, raised as irresponsible, spoiled 3-year-olds: A child who drops his used underwear on the floor, leaves his dirty dishes for others to wash, walks over the clean floor with his muddy shoes.
〰 ⚤ 〰
There has ALWAYS been someone there to clean-up the patriarchal man’s messes for him, to assure him it’s not his fault, to get him a new toy – everything has always been someone else’s problem.
〰 ⚤ 〰
So, patriarchal man is comfortable making a mess of the environment – someone else’s problem. And if the Earth is destroyed, he believes, just as in the past, and as with all his other toys, someone will get him a new planet to play with.

Allowing patriarchal man dominion over the Earth is like giving a wife abuser dominion over a battered woman’s shelter.
