“Have any of you ever studied the origins of patriarchy at school?” Dilar Dirik asks, researcher in Sociology at Cambridge University and activist of the Kurdish Women’s Movement. Dilar tries to summarize 6000 years of humanity on Earth. During the Neolithic, the first “modern” societies were formed in Mesopotamia, India and China. These were Matriarchal organizations, where women carried out internal, social, economic and political functions. Men on the other hand did external, subsistence and defense ones. Women had an enormous prestige then, where they were considered the only procreative members of the group. Their prestige was retracted when the men discovered their paternity…

Patriarchy in Europe
Prominent sociologist Sylvia Walby describes patriarchy as ‘a system of social structures and practices in which men dominate, oppress, and exploit women’*.
The Daily Telegraph did a study recently on gender equality which is linked to patriarchy. This list was extracted from that study. Norway was best followed by Finland and Sweden. Slovenia rolled in 4th followed by Ireland, France, Germany and Denmark. Interesting that the United Kingdom only made it to 9th in Europe (behind Namibia considered globally) and finally Bulgaria then Latvia. Regarding the last two their religions are very prominent and extremely patriarchal which runs through their societies.
Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a comment.
Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t
mind me asking what theme you’re using? (and don’t mind if I steal it?
:P)
I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours– but the
theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.
In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for
“royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate any feedback) – it’s
still in the works.
Keep up the good work– and hope you all take
care of yourself during the coronavirus scare!
Hi Justin, I really appreciate your feedback it is difficult to be objective with things you have done yourself. I have been working hard on it migrating to wpengine. Its more or less the same just on WordPress premium, but faster now and more things to fiddle with. For your information the theme is ‘Maywood’. I would be delighted to check out your site.
Cheers Justin, take care.
Very good blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Cheers!|
Hi Mr Weissert, appreciate your encouragement. There is no such thing as a free lunch my friend. You can start on WordPress.com free but a lot of features are held back and many features are still held back even when you upgrade at a price to Premium. If you have the technical skills I would suggest you go it alone with WordPress.org. If you want to get going quick and easy, go for WordPress.com. I have just migrated my site to Wp Engine (it was NOT at all smooth) because I wanted more speed. Feel free to discuss this further with me, it is no simple matter.
Link exchange is nothing else except it is just placing the other person’s website link on your page at proper place and other person will also do same in support of you.|
Have you ever thought about publishing an ebook or guest authoring on other blogs? I have a blog based upon on the same information you discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my viewers would enjoy your work. If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to send me an email.|
Very quickly this website will be famous among all blogging users, due to it’s nice articles or reviews|
I am really impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it’s rare to see a nice blog like this one nowadays.|
