Beyond the Myth of Male Supremacy

Beyond the Myth of Male Supremacy

We are not humanity, as Daniel Quinn revealed in The Story of B, just one particularly successful and destructive culture that has devoured almost all other cultures and may not last all that long in evolutionary terms.  The good news is, we can change.  But we have to recognize the most destructive parts of that culture before we can change them.

This week, I start with potentially THE most destructive element of our culture: Male Supremacy, first exposing it for the fraud that it is, and then suggesting how we might move beyond it, for EVERYBODY's good.
