"The shrieking of nothing is killing." - David Bowie.

"in identity politics, there is always talk of race, class, gender, religion, etc... but if there is one dominant identity that is just a given, that is never talked about, and therefore never questioned, it's masculinity and the masculine state; during each second of a day, the default male identity promotes male self-worth and egos at the expense of women and nature; until and unless ordinary men begin to see the need to challenge their macho identity and how it helps to prop up the violent patriarchal state, nothing will change" ~ Moses Seenarine

There is a Taoist story of an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years.

One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. "Such bad luck," they said sympathetically. "May be," the farmer replied.

The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. "How wonderful," the neighbors exclaimed. "May be," replied the old man.

The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune. "May be," answered the farmer.

The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the son's leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out. "May be," said the farmer.

'Women's minds weren't colonized overnight. It took thousands of years of rape, beatings and murder. however some women still would not be conquered. Hence the "gods" men invented to grant themselves spiritual authority over women. Spiritual bullying was needed. For example: “Wives, submit unto your husbands, the husband is head of the wife as Christ is head of the church.”— Ephesians 5:23-24. "Men are in charge of women because Allah made one excel the other“ — Quran Sura 4:34. "A woman must never be free of subjugation." — Hindu code of Manu V. "In pain shall you bear children, yet your urge will be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.— Genesis 3:16. so men's abuse follows women into the "afterlife"' ~ Elaine Charkowski
