Bulls - A Matriarchal Perspective

Mary Malone writes:
There are famous depictions from Ancient Crete of Minoan women running bulls.
In these modern sterile times, bull fighting, like many animal based sports, is frowned upon by the hyper-Patriarchs, and the ancient cult of the bull is viewed with puzzlement.
Long ago the Bull was everywhere, a symbol of strength and fertility. Even the Israelites, in their sins, would represent Jehovah as a bull.
Because the bull is a male animal it is often assumed that the Sacred Bull was a symbol of Patriarchy. But this is to see the past through the eyes of the present.
Queen Pasiphae of the Cretans disguised herself as a cow so that she could be served by the great Cretan Bull, the Taurus Kretaios. In this she was expressing her feminine sexuality.
The Greeks to the north were Patriarchal and warlike. Many of their myths are concerned with the crushing of Matriarchy, autonomous societies based on service, societies that had no concept of adultery, because they had no concept of ownership.
The Greeks sent their 'hero' Heracles to kill the Cretan Bull, an animal that served the women of the island. The bull represented the male sexual function, which was to serve  the women.
With the death of the Bull, the Greeks introduced a new concept with regard to male sexuality. Greek military society demanded that the male sexual act was no longer an act of service, but one of domination.
