Silent3, The author of the message is not saying what you suggest.

His favorite quotes from the Bible are these:

According to the Book of Wisdom: "Wisdom is beneficent and kind. She is the aura of the power of God, the radiance of the eternal Divine Light, a spotless mirror of God. She renews all things, and passing into holy souls from age to age, She produces friends of God and prophets. She is firm, but Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all Her paths are peace. She is a Tree of Life to them that lay hold upon Her. And Wisdom is far better than weapons of war."

The great and wise Solomon in Proverbs 9 wrote: "Wisdom has built Her house and she calls to all: Come, eat my food and drink my wine and you will live abundant life and walk in the ways of understanding. Forsake the foolish, and live. Go in the way of understanding."

The author of the message is against the abuse of power, whether patriarchal or matriarchal. And a verse from one of his songs, It Takes Two, states: "It takes two to make a union; Like the Yin and Yang, and the man and woman. There is no positive without the negative. But when our eye is single, we can truly live."
