9. The control of reproduction
Fri May 6, 2022, 08:52 PM

is the primary purpose of patriarchy. The indoctrination of good little soldiers to "protect the realm" is required, with sexual repression and the allowance of rape and pillage in times of war is its methodology (and with lots of sexual repression, most patriarchies are usually continually at war). The subversion of lust for blissful union into lust for domination. A suppression of the primal sadomasochistic urge.

Hence the obsession with so-called "grooming", or the equating of sexual experiences with someone controlling someone else. Like there is no such thing as mutual consent, let alone allowing those involved to manage their own outcomes of that experience.

God forbid we live in a more egalitarian, matriarchal world, where everyone and everything is actually cared for.
