patriarchy predominates in most contemporary socio-cultural milieux.

Please, don't interpret this assertion as a 'blame and shame' gambit. As I said before, we are ALL distorted by the patriarchal precepts promulgated by our ancestors.

Although I hesitate to suggest this (because she is incredibly DENSE), please read Dorothy Dinnerstein's "The Mermaid and the Minotaur" for more info regarding our species' predilection toward patriarchy. Her rather pedantic tome will challenge your critical thinking skills, but I feel strongly that such skills are being subverted by our vile Corporate Megalomaniacs, who've usurped our media, our politics, and our global economy. Consequently, ANYTHING that helps us hone said skills SHOULD be pursued.
