I'm studying mythology and have learned about
patriarchal societies and matriarchal societies..

It's interesting to note that before pa and ma societies were created there was a stage of hetairism, aka barbaric stage. In this earliest stage, either males or fems were dominant, this was a period of widespread sexual promiscuity when children did not know their fathers, women were defenseless, rape took the place of marriage, and family life was citually nonexistent. The characteristic goddess in greek mythology during this period, was aphrodite, goddess of love, with no aspect of order or morality.

Next, women banded together for their own defense, leading to the development of mat society that replace the chaos of hetairism. THis phase saw the first blossom of civilization, laws, agriculture, and the arts. Love of the mother and worship of a mother goddess were also characteristics of this age, which was symbolized for demeter, the goddess of crops. In an important greek myth, demeter's daughter kore is seized by force from her mother by hades, the lord of the underworld.

The greek myths of fierce female warriors, the Amazons, are an ancestral memory of women banding together for protection. If you interpret the myth of Oedipus you get three phases of this struggle: The sphinx, who was hermaphroditic, having both f and m genitalia, Oedipus then marries his own mother, who is the ruler of Thebes, the tragic events describing her downfall were interpreted thus as a thinly veiled account of the transition from ma to pat society. Another belief is that the oppression of women by men as adults was an overcompensation for the dependence felt by male children toward their mothers. This maybe a conscious persistence of an unconscious ancestral memory of a time when adult men were ruled by women.


It's also interesting to note that in our "own time" during the fight for the ratification of the U.S Equal Rights Amendment, the opponents of the bill warned of a type of hetairism (although they never used the word) that would result from the equality of the sexes.

Interesting...........

This thread is unbelievable! That pic of that statue of the chick dominating that man? Ya, that woman is UGLY! Just look at the face! It looks like a man's. The shoulders and arms are also a bit too beefy. Seems to represent a hermaphrodite or something. So it was hermaphrodite instead of aphrodite.

And Nans, are you being serious with all this stuff you're saying? If you are, I hate to say this, but you're OFF YOU'RE ROCKER! Women are NOT or never were physically stronger than men. It's just the way it is. Why do you feel the need to bash men and puff up the reputation of women? This only suggests that you're ashamed or insecure of females. If you were truly comfortable, you wouldn't feel the need to glorify women because you would see that they don't need to be. They are great as they are! YOU are the one putting down females because you feel that they need help by exaggerating things. I guess simply being woman is not enough? Believe me, I think 99% of men are very AWARE that we need women in life to be happy and survive as humans, so I don't know what you're trying to prove.

And for everyone who thinks that men and women have to be identical to be equal, you're CRAZY! Men are stronger, women are more comforting. Women are not as rash as men. Men are better at navigating, women are better with other things. So stop getting hung up on things like strength! Strength doesn't prove superiority. We are different but equal!
