When Patriarchy Began: The 5,000 Year Story 베스트 인용

Patriarchy isn't natural or inevitable; it is a specific response to economic conditions that emerged only in the last 5,000 years of our 300,000-year history. Once we understand that these systems were deliberately constructed, we can start to see how they can actually be dismantled.
