This is the essence of why I write. Women haven't been given anything else to believe unless they've searched it out on their own. The information is there, but it's obscured, vilified, or out of print.

I believe that the human race is female. Males are an aberration that serve one purpose - to provide variety to the gene pool. (See The Redundant Male written by two male scientists for background on this.) That deviation from the original gender may, in fact, be dying out. (See Adam's Curse by Bryan Sykes for more on this). I believe that the nature of human reproduction was parthenogenesis, and that this is the origin of our obsession with immaculate conceptions, as well as the origin of Old Testament laws demanding that an unmarried woman be stoned if she becomes pregnant while unmarried.

If, as Sykes postulates, male infertility increases, it will still be possible to produce human females without cloning. Scientists have known since 1979 that two human ova, either from one woman, or from two different women, can be combined to form a zygote what will develop normally into a female human when implanted in a womb. Male cells, in contrast, can not be reproduced without an X. The only reason they aren't offering to do this for Lesbian couples that I can discern is that they don't want women to realize that men are expendable.

Most of the people who read this, of either gender, will have a knee jerk reaction against what I am saying. That's your patriarchal conditioning flying in the face of scientific evidence that contradicts the reality you're trained to believe in. This is the basis for the oppression of women. This is what necessitates keeping us down financially, with violence, with hatred. If there were no threat, you wouldn't be conditioned to have such a negative response.

Look at what happens in every field where women are given anything approaching equal access. We excel. Let me use basketball as an example. Women are just beginning to manifest the benefits of Title IX. Yet when they have competitions for shooting baskets, the women beat the men. Women out-perform men on endurance tasks. I'll refer you to Arnold Schwarzenegger's book on weight Training for Women for background on this. Even that old sexist admits that the only advantage men have physically is upper body strength and short bursts of intense energy.

Woman's center of power is in her lower body, and the fact that we bear children has given us great strength and endurance. Our higher fat to lean muscle ratio makes us better swimmers, as well as the most likely to survive hardship or famine. Women's fashions, from burkas to manolos, are ways of hobbling women and making us more vulnerable to attack, and less able to protect ourselves. Reports have said that many more women died in the Tsunami than had to because they wore long saris and/or put the safety of their husbands and children before their own.

Our more active corpus callosum means that the feminine brain is more capable of recovery following a stroke. It better enables us to better access our intuition, and makes us better suited to be astronauts. I can go on for days, but you get the idea.

We are not inferior, and it is our job to get the word out to as many of us as possible that we've been lied to. Intimidation surrounds us in the form of husbands, lovers, fathers, priests and bosses, This very culture is designed to keep us afraid and docile. Don't believe it. Even if you aren't financially independent; even if you aren't safe, know in your own mind that we are more than equal. The more they threaten, the more they intimidate, the more they discriminate, the more they ridicule - that force is in measure to how much better they instinctively know you are. If we were truly inferior, there would be no need to keep us down.
