Quote "Well, the vast majority of humanity has been under patriarchal control, to varying degrees, for almost all of human history."
I don't think that is actually the case CK. Not only have women regularly been the power behind the throne, but certainly in England's case the two greatest eras where under Queens and not Kings. Elizabeth and Victoria.
As Kipling wrote "The female of the species is more deadly than the male." Also it is not surprising that the Queen is the most powerful piece in chess, showing that someone understood the real power game hundreds of years ago. |
