“Family life in Western society since the time of the Old Testament has been a struggle to maintain patriarchy, male domination, and double standards in the face of a natural drift towards monogamous bonding. Young men have been called upon to prove their masculinity by their willingness to die in warfare, and young women have been called upon to prove their femininity by their willingness to die for their man. Women have been asked to appear small, dumb, and helpless so men would feel big and strong, brave, and clever. It's been a trick.” MenFeelsHas BeensBigsFacesYoungDiesStrongNaturalStruggleProveStandardsBraveWesternMalesCleverTricksDumbYoung ManWillingnessWarfareHelplessYoung WomenPatriarchyTestamentMasculinityDominationFemininityFamily LifeOld TestamentBondingDouble StandardWestern Society Author:Frank Pittman
