Gender bias, physical violence, motherhood punishment, fertility difficulties... Even in the 21st century, women still have to bear these "original sins" and move forward with difficulty. And all of this stems from women's unique body parts and the ancient social mechanism that attempts to control women - patriarchy.
This book cites a large number of cases, traces the history of patriarchy from the origin of mankind, and tells how women's unique body parts gave them power, but were eventually ruthlessly deprived of it. Women who have lost power are stigmatized and downgraded. Inequality has become a social norm and an insurmountable obstacle. Women often encounter injustice as a result. What are the deep roots behind this? In the new era, how will women with awakening consciousness break through the gender dilemma and dismantle the forces of sexism that have repeatedly fought back? This book gives a powerful answer.
Reader comments
A very objective and comprehensive book that brings a lot of thinking (the more I read it, the more I feel that "jealousy" should be next to the word "male")
I watched it for a long time! It's definitely more than 30 minutes, I don't know why it's not included in the time limit
He's jealous of his wife's creative abilities, but there's nothing he can do but urinate everywhere
I learned a lot from this book, which traces the history of patriarchy and reveals the roots of the inequalities and difficulties faced by women. The cases in the book are rich and diverse, and the author's analysis is profound and powerful. I especially liked the book's discussion of women's bodies and power, as well as its dismantling of sexism, which made me understand more about what women go through. This is a book worth reading for everyone, it will allow us to better understand gender issues and work towards gender equality.
Men who hate and fear women. Desperately stealing, cheating, and parasitic reproduction.
Good book. It is the tragedy of all women to be able to have children but not be able to protect themselves. If I have a choice, I don't want a uterus, I want strength.
I hope this book can give awakening girls more goals and strength.
Nice book. It is clear from the numerous references to myths and proverbs from various places that the struggle between the sexes is one of the most primitive struggles of mankind and continues to this day. Furthermore, in a more complex society where class and gender contradictions coexist, how can we strive for gender equality? This is an issue that needs urgent consideration. I am skeptical of the author's view that "using artificial womb technology can promote equality."
The only downside is that reading this book makes me very irritable... I have to calm down after reading a few chapters😓. Fortunately, I finished reading before I got breast nodules.
A very good book
It makes me angry😤The goddess has been missing for too long
I laughed when I saw so many male gods getting angry
Refusing to take responsibility for the consequences of your desires is a sign of weakness
The myths of various regions are fascinating and the ideas behind them make me think.
It's nice to read, but most of the content describes the evolution of foreign myths. But I don't know much about foreign cultures, so it's not very smooth to read.
However, from the evolution of mythology, we can also see the gradual loss of power of women. Men want both
