Patriarchy only became possible because the Goddess女神 — a woman treated as divine archetype moved into the background allowing men to rule. She has now decided to return and there is nothing that can be done to stop Her.

The Natural Dominance Of Women

By William Bond

If you take a cork and hold it underwater it is very easy to hold it down but it will only stay there while you keep holding it in that position. If at any time you arm gets tied or you get fed up with keeping the cork underwater and let go. The cork will automatically rise to the top. This concept gives a good metaphor of what is happening today in the politics of Female power.

For anyone who has read the history of patriarchy over the last five thousand years what it very striking is the great efforts needed to keep Women powerless. Up until the end of the 19th century, there were laws to ensure that women couldn't own any property or wealth. As the law stated that everything a woman had was either owned by her father or husband and the law also make it very difficult for any woman to inherit property. Women were also barred from all jobs and professions except being a housewife, servant or prostitute. So Women were unable to acquire any wealth of power in her own right. Husbands were also encouraged to dominate their wives, who had to swear to obey there husbands when they were married. The law even gave husbands the right to beat their wives with either a stick or whip.
