Still Chained

Mary Malone writes:
Many societies recognize that Woman has a greater sex drive than Man, seeking pleasure where he can only seek relief, wishing to express her creativity with the birth of children and the nurturing of the young.
Consequently, in the past, a girl would be married off young and given a husband to provide for her.
Boys, being peripheral to the life of the group, have always been allowed to play out for a bit longer.
But, in the twentieth century, the century of rape, the erotic nature of Woman was denied.
The notion that 'good' girls don't do it, still prevalent in Moslem societies, was alive and well here in England too.
A woman was judged by her sexual activity.
Girls were allowed to think about romance, but not sex.
Man, not Woman, became the active sex partner, his aim being to 'conquer' the woman, one way or another. And if she defied this imprisonment of semi-frigidity, she was deemed worthless.
All this has changed in recent years.
The invention of reliable contraception has released the sexual activity of women. It has enabled Woman to take her place as a sexual consumer, and as a drone within the bureaucratic hierarchy. It has been a factor in the breakdown of the family and the collapse of social solidarity.
Contraception has released women from the worst consequences of living in a Patriarchal society, but it has not changed the nature of that Patriarchal society.
Woman is still chained, she is still denied.
She has been assimilated into Patriarchy, her nature denigrated, made to ape mere men, her value still defined by patriarchal values.
Only by a return to ancient matriarchal values can women free themselves, for freedom is not some nebulous patriarchal idea about career choices, threesomes and piercings, but freedom is about a woman  being who she is.
