Uncovers the overlooked realities of women on a global scale: mother-right, female shamans, goddess reverence; patriarchy, slavery, conquest and aboriginality. Fresh and diverse conceptions of who women can be, of men and gender borders. Overturning stereotypes of race and class, and the structures of domination that hold them up. The cultural and spiritual treasures of human heritages around the globe.
About Me:
 
I founded the Suppressed Histories Archives in 1970, to research global women's history, archaeology, goddess reverence, shamanic arts, indigenous orature, mother-right, and the origins of domination. I created a collection of some 15,000 slides and 100 presentations, and show them at universities, community centers, bookstores, schools, churches, prisons, festivals and conferences around North America and in Europe.

I research ancient female iconography, women shamans and other female spheres of power. I'm completing a multivolume book _Secret History of the Witches_. www.suppressedhistories.net

My paintings re-envision bold and spirited women, pagan sacraments and goddesses. See www.maxdashu.net .

Red0660, you are talking social Darwinism, but unfortunately the behaviors you describe (dominance) are maladaptive in the long run. Even the sociobiologists have come around to see the advantage of cooperation. It's like the current economic situation: because it was profitable for dominant groups, the whole thing got run into the ground. This is what happened to the planet. This is _not_ what best supports life. As for American Indians, the warfare they had pre-conquest was far, far lower in scale than what they were exposed to under the European invasion. The Narrangansetts for example who were English allies early on dropped out in horror when they saw the English massacre entire Pequot villages. No comparison. Read Jack Weatherford's Indian Givers. In any case, women had strong input, often veto power, over war in these societies. A very different picture.

There is now conflict between men and women. I think you will enjoy my video on Men's and Father's Rights. It is only by male-male competition for female sexually selective choice that we sustain ourselves and advance as a species. So it is in the animal kingdom as well. Males need an equal opportunity for competitive advantage and this is what brings about a balanced economy. One can not deny that even though these American Indian tribes you speak of were more matrilinial and egalitarian their males still had weapons and conducted warfare for territory and resources. Societies that capitalize on male productive incentive have and always will conquer egalitarian and matrilinial ones as history has shown. It is all about what best supports life, genetic fitness and numerical propagation of the species.

Hello, your video is very interesting. I am very interested in communism and capitalism. I understand that much of feminist theory is based in Marxist and communistic theory. I believe though that on a large scale matrilineal and egalitarianism is not possible because of the deference of power and resources to the state. Such a theory is a interesting thought but can only work on a small scale. When males have individual incentive to produce technology burgeons and these more capitalistic and advanced technological societies conquer the stagnant communistic ones when access to resources becomes a conflict between them. Thus we have arrived at our current state. All matrilinial, communistic societies have been conquered.
