The patriarchy is based upon the male ethos of competitive acquisition of rights of access to females to determine genetic survival in the long term, and competitive acquisition of rights of access to scarce survival commodities to determine short term survival. In short, the male ethos is war, domination, competition, scarcity, control, etc. Within the context of the patriarchal system, women are reduced to sexual toys and caretakers of children. The reason for this requirement is obvious, that a man not waste his survival resources supporting a woman who bears him the child of another, to not support a child who does not carry his genes. In short, war, murder, scarcity and suffering are considered justifiable for the end result of genetic determination.
Genetic determination is the highest priority in the planetary game of sexual reproduction.
People regularly choose immediate access to a lifetime of guaranteed mediocrity rather than deal with short term discomfort to have a long term success level greater than the societally provided mediocrity. This is of great importance in looking for opportunities to make money, and is the foundation of the extant patriarchal system. This is an age wherein most of us are deeply lost in MahaMaya, the Great Illusion. We have largely forgotten in our daily lives that the physical world is only an illusion, a dream, which we have made manifest. We have come to take it quite seriously, as if we are powerless to change it, which we are, so long as we refuse to claim responsibility for having chosen it to be exactly as it is.
