The Colonisation Of Woman

From The Denial Of Woman, Mary Malone writes:

For all his faults Franz Fanon, the great psychologist of colonisation, successfully highlighted the deprivation of personhood suffered by the people of the colonies. They are at best the 'natives' or the 'masses', the passive backcloth of history.
The 'natives' and the 'masses' are deprived of their own history. What they achieve away from the presence of their masters is deemed irrelevant. They only exist in relation to their masters.
We hear endless stories of kings and conquerors, 'men of action', those who 'build', 'change the world' 'create civilizations', as if they did it all alone. These 'heroes' all had servants, they all lived in a world where half of humanity was female.
Somehow the colonised person feels inferior to their master, as if only the reality of the master has any validity, that somehow they, the colonised, are invisible, that their story is of no importance. They are told that they are less worthy than the master, that they must put the needs of the master before their own  -  and most of the time they believe it, for their social and economic situation tells them as much.
Woman is the first and foremost of the colonised. Ever since the beginning of Patriarchy she has been deprived of her personhood. Where once she was served, as nature and God intend, under Patriarchy she serves the man.
Man's endless silly games are given validity, while Woman's essential work is denied.
Woman is only valued in relation to Man. She is his object.
Woman has no history. The history books tell of few women, only those who accidentally take on male roles within the patriarchy, and those who relate to men as mothers and lovers.
As such is Woman valued, like the 'Native', as a service provider, as a sexual object to gratify the master.
And today, how do the Authority endorsed feminists propose to set us free? By assimilation!
Like the African who was forced to speak French or Portuguese or English, to dress like their master, to deny their own language and heritage, to think the thoughts of the master, to deny themselves at every turn, and place the interests of the master above those of their own kind, so the Vichy Feminist proposes to liberate her sisters, by assimilating them into male values, by pressing them to play competitive sports, to see achievement as working their way through the hierarchy, to internalize male values, male needs, male priorities, to deny Woman and to assimilate the very nature of Man.
