"7000 years" is a selection of radical feminism analyzes, most of them original, written as accessible as possible, with as few bibliographic references as possible. The simplicity of the exposure — a challenge for the author who comes from the scientific academic world — shouldn't have anything to do with the simplicity of the ideas and the conclusions reached by the analyzes stemming from original biological ideas.
This book started from a project conceived as able to push radical feminism further, not only by bringing new critics to patriarchy, also seen from other angles, but also new radical feminist claims. And last but not least, it wants to start the foundation of a new feminist culture, focused on women, on their desires, as free as possible from patriarchal contamination.
I wanted to make this book an exercise of creativity, free thinking, courage. I hope things will also be the same for the readers.
It is a feminist book and we are not in the '70s. .
It's a question they are looking for answers for a long time. With this blog, I tried to find an answer as close to reality as possible. And I'm still working at this. I don't think I will ever stop. But at this moment I want to cry "Evrika" again, actually, I want to cry louder than another time.
And of course, when you start to better understand the phenomena, you feel you are closer to finding solutions. A new feminist revolution might start soon. Why does patriarchy exist? Does it exist in animals? No. Patriarchy doesn't exist in animals. This would be something absolutely impossible. In animals, the society belongs to females, it forms around the animal family, wich consists in one female and/or more females related one to each other, and their offspring. In the monogamous animals, the long-time partner of the female is also included in the family and their offspring live a period of time around this dominant family and they take care of their younger siblings without reproducing themselves (in some Canidae, for example).
But patriarchy has its germs in the animal world. Its germs are found in the relationships we see every day when two dogs meet. There is a confrontation and then a hierarchy is established. Because there is aggression, there is fear. Patriarchy is based on the relationships of dominance and obedience present in animals. Most of the times, this kind of relationships are established separately for each sex. But sometimes they are also established between different sexes. In most species, most of the time, females are sexually unreceptive. Any sexual approach is treated as aggression and the male is abused. When she is in heat, the female adopts what they call submissive postures in order not to scare the males anymore. Submission postures are adopted to reduce aggression.
