It is so insane and intense now because we are at the end of an age and a shift. Total ownership by these mega corporations, nothing is private or free. A world in chains, and not only women and children anymore it is everyone and everything. They won't win though, no way evolution wins if you can hang on till 2022 you will see it all in flames.
25,000 years ago the matriarchy was in full swing, with humanity bonded with nature and life, not in ownership. I'm not going to stay in the basement with my gun and gold, I am gonna say fuck it and enjoy right up to the last minute! I do love that they will lose, the cosmic laugh.

Why figt it?
Because I started out as one of these.

I would humbly suggest looking a lot deeper. The "Matriarchal Paradise of the Past" is largely an eco-feminist fantasy, as is the idea that modern western culture is a patriarchy. The material acquisition paradigm that drives our entire corporate culture is a manifestation of the Feminine; it's no coincidence that the words material, matter and mother all stem from the same root. Ask any male who's ever moved his family how much space in the truck goes for his stuff versus how much for hers.

Try looking at the Middle East for a view of genuine patriarchy...

Joking aside, that's exactly right. This applies right across the board.

(I'm not saying it's a problem ... just a fact of life)

It is not about male or female it's about value systems. If your wife owns a lot of junk, she is invested in patriarchal values. Native American culture was a prime example of the matriarchy.

Corporations in theory are cooperative are based on a feminine principal of shared resources, but it just don't play that way. Ask the CEO of Exxon.

Just wait we are going back to that, if you and your wife do survive the grand chaos she won't have much crap and you won't have to bitch about it.

It all boils down to shoes.

How many shoes does he have.
How many shoes does she have.

That answer tells you everything you need to know.

Here I found a group you can all join so you can bash women together. Go on, make those masculine male alliances so you can put us women back in our place!

Here you go:

Women are Evil

Have fun now guys! And don't show any mercy, afterall us women are the spawn of satan, responsible for almost every evil going down on earth. If it wasn't for us Peak Oil wouldn't be happening or capitalism. I mean if you try hard enough I'm sure you could find a reason to blame us for rape even.

[Raxozanne]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('rwwff', 'L')ighten up. I don't think anyone is suggesting that Peak Oil is the fault of women. Personally, I couldn't care less whose fault it is. Its still funny that women by as many shoes as they do. And its ok that it is funny.

[rwwff]

Jingle goes off in head...

Whats love got to do with it.....

No really, its a forum. And a highly contentious one at that. And half the people here seriously think the world is about to go splat.

Think of it as a great way to practice your stress management.

Women have more shoes because they are conditioned to wear glamour shoes from childhood and they are uncomfortable.

Peak Oil is the result of the industrial revolution which began when Pluto entered Capricorn, it will return to Capricorn Jan 08, the end of the industrial revolution. And the Patriarchal world religions that tell people to have too many children. The public has been brainwashed by corporate media to be mad consumers, this is the source of happiness, shoes, mini coopers, cell phones. Material things are the source of happiness, when it wears off after you drive the car around the block you must shop again. All this will end as Pluto makes its journey through Capricorn.

PLUTO CAPRICORN-BIG BROTHER- WARS-SENDING YOUR CHILDREN TO DIE FOR GOVERNMENT OIL WARS-PATRIARCHY GONE MAD.

But it will be so intense along the way, scapegoating as Uranus and Neptune are in mutual reception. Worse than Hitlers Germany, way worse. Same values, different players.

The giant liquidation sale is in the planning next, everyone is going to get the lesson of releasing all that crap.
The Hopi prohpesies were right on target. Rather than hoard food, guns and hand tools, I would work on my spiritual nature that will serve you better in the comming years.

[TWilliam]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Raxozanne', 'Y')eah it's all women fucking fault.
Hmmm you know what? My male friends earn alot more money than me because they are male and you know what they do with it? They buy a mini cooper, then they buy the best stereo system, the best mobile phone (every other month) and the best plasma screen tv. They also eat out every other night. But I guess they are not really consuming 'because it's practical stuff', no let's blame the whole captialism thing on women.

[Raxozanne]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TWilliam', 'I') never said anything about anything being womens' fault, Raxozanne. My comments have nothing to do with blaming anyone for anything; I was simply pointing out that western culture is not patriarchal, "glass ceiling" notwithstanding. If one examines it closely, one begins to understand that it is based on a Feminine ethic, not a Masculine one.
