The next step for feminism is not more political power, but less for everyone. Patriarchy is the ideology that males should rule.
Patriotism is the worship of male-dominated states.
Males have created and still create political culture worldwide, so it s no surprise that male values, needs and ambitions dominate. An excellent example of this is the recent war in the Persian Gulf. Two powerful patriarchs warred over territory and flung highly personalized threats and taunts. Young men and women died for the power and pride of two arrogant males. Male-dominated culture patriarchy discourages individual men and women from expressing the mix of assertion and cooperation, independence and compassion that is natural to individual men and women.
