RE: EcoTrain Question of the Week: What is patriarchy? Is a patriarchy the same as a society led by men, or is it more, a society led by fear and a feeling of scarcity, that happens to be an environment in which the masculine takes charge?

I have finally gotten to reading your article about our question of the week. It was a wonderful read. Made with so much dedication to explaining it properly without hurting anyones feelings, the way you see it. I feel you have a very clear view on it from the interpersonal point of view and it helps me give my lingering thoughts a place. So thank you.

So glad you enjoyed the article. It can be tough to highlight issues such as patriarchy without stepping on toes. It's so nice to have lingering thoughts find their place ;). Your appreciation is so well received, thank you.

You very welcome. And I was thinking last night that the root to the white supremacy problem is actually the same one: over-appreciation of masculine qualities. I feel that black people have more feminine qualities in general then white people. I know this is maybe a dangerous thing to say, but it is not a judgement of value that I'm making here. It's just my observation.
