RE: EcoTrain Question of the Week: What is patriarchy? Is a patriarchy the same as a society led by men, or is it more, a society led by fear and a feeling of scarcity, that happens to be an environment in which the masculine takes charge?

wow! You've picked a challenging topic. I love when you read something that fires up your brain. Excellent post!

This I agree with fully.

I believe in equality and recognizing the strengths and inherent worth in each being.

We debate this often at our house, and I am still working out what I really think and feel about it. As a mother of a son, a wife, a woman ... it's really profound.
