Real-Life Examples Of "Rape-Free Societies"

In a similar vein as several of my recent articles, I decided to ask Dr. Google, in its infinite wisdom, for some examples of (practically) "rape-free societies", as the late anthropologist Peggy Reeves Sanday had observed.  These are merely mythical utopia's or fantasies, but documented, real-life examples. And here is what I found:

Anthropological studies—most notably by researcher Peggy Reeves Sanday—classify societies as "rape-free" when sexual assault is either completely absent or statistically rare, heavily punished, and viewed as a severe loss of status rather than a sign of masculinity. [1, 2]

Documented Examples of Rape-Free/Low-Rape Societies

The Mosuo: A matrilineal society in southwestern China where family lineage and property pass through women, and male sexual dominance or entitlement is absent. [1]
The Minangkabau: The largest matrilineal society in the world (located in West Sumatra, Indonesia), characterized by high gender equality and shared decision-making. [1]
The Iroquois (Haudenosaunee): Historically exhibited high political and social power for women, who controlled agriculture, land, and a significant voice in clan governance. [1]
The Ashanti (Asante): A matrilineal culture in Ghana where women traditionally held prominent roles in commerce, politics, and social continuity. [1]
The Vanatinai: An egalitarian society in Papua New Guinea where men and women share economic and social authority with minimal gender-based violence. [1]
Additional Cultural Examples: Anthropological data also identifies low or absent rates of rape among the Bougainville, Apache, Guajiro, and Trobrianders. [1]

Key Characteristics of Rape-Free Societies

Gender Equality & Complementarity: Both sexes hold respected, integrated positions in public life, governance, and daily affairs. [1, 2]
Matrilineal Structures: Lineage traced through mothers diminishes male heterosexual authority, sexual entitlement, and structural dominance. [1]
Rejection of "Toughness" Culture: Rather than celebrating aggressive male competition or dominance, social norms value interpersonal connection, mutual respect, and shared consent. [1, 2]
Strong Social Censure: Sexual violence is treated as shameful, dishonorable, and subject to swift communal disapproval or punishment rather than being ignored or normalized. [1, 2]

Thus, such a thing is indeed possible (with the caveat that at least some degree/flavor of Matriarchy seems to be a prerequisite).  In other words, it looks like nurture > nature after all.  Rape is always and everywhere a cultural problem, at its very roots, and thus the "myth of inevitability" has now been completely laid waste.

And while affirmative consent laws (aka "Only Yes Means Yes" laws), consent education, bystander intervention, media campaigns, resistance training, and things like that are necessary to effect cultural change, these surface-level measures are sadly not sufficient by themselves to truly strike the very deep cultural roots of this problem overnight.

So what are we waiting for?  Let the planetary healing begin!  And Goddess willing, let us thus finally make rape as bizarre and unthinkable as cannibalism!

Remember In November: The Mother Of All Blue Waves Or Bust!

(Originally posted on the True Spirit of America Party blog)

The way things are going, I just hope we have the Mother of All Blue Waves this November.  MAGA is a cancer on the body politic that needs to be eradicated, root and branch.  That is why, much to the chagrin of some purists, I will continue to "Vote Blue No Matter Who" until such cancer is fully eradicated.  Then, and only then, can we even THINK about taking on what remains of the neoliberal duopoly, which we also need to do, of course. And I have faith that it will be a rout this November.  Because the alternative (Republicans winning again) would be much worse.

Look, we clearly prefer genuine (and especially economic) progressives and leftists over squishy neoliberal centrists and identity politics. But now is NOT the time for any ideological purity tests! If we make the perfect the enemy of the good, we ultimately end up with neither, as we have learned the hard way.

This is our LAST CHANCE to save what is left of our beloved Republic, if it isn't already too late.  Look, we KNOW the GOP will cheat by attempting to rig the midterms, but if enough people vote Blue that would become much more difficult to rig.  Those who don't vote, vote third-party, vote write-in, or vote Republican will thus be asking for a TON of karma when all is said and done.

Poem: She Was Asking For It (Never Again)

Poem:  "She Was Asking For It (Never Again)"

By Ajax the Great (Pete Jackson)

(FIVE-ALARM TRIGGER WARNING:  rape, SA, and other violence against women, current and historical atrocities, misogyny, racism, antisemitism, genocide, gynocide)

NOTE:  This poem was written and first posted in February 2024, not about anyone in particular, but is being re-posted in light of current events.

A young woman was raped the other day

Like so many others every day

She was apparently "no angel"

She was a "wild party girl" who "broke all the rules"

What is your first thought, my friends

When you hear this horrible news?

I would hazard a guess you would give a stock answer:

"You know she was asking for it, right?"

I bet you would say the same 

About the Rape of the Sabine Women

Upon which Rome's (vain)glory was founded

They were asking for it too, right?

Would you say the same about the millions of women

Who were murdered, tortured, and raped 

During the Inquisition and the Burning Times?

They were asking for it too, right?

How about the First Nations women

Who were murdered, tortured, and raped

In the name of Manifest Destiny 

They were asking for it too, right?

How about the transatlantic slave trade?

You know the women didn't knock themselves up 

Forced to breed more "black ivory" for Master

They were asking for it too, right?

How about the women victims of the Spanish Civil War

Two terrors, Red and White 

Two sides of the same evil coin

They were asking for it too, right?

How about the very literal Rape of Nanjing

Mass murder, mass rape, and mass torture 

In the name of the Empire of the Rising Sun

They were asking for it too, right?

How about the Jews and countless others

During the Holocaust and otherwise 

Half of six million is three million women

They were asking for it too, right?

How about the devil with whom the Allies made a deal

A devil named Joseph Stalin

Whose army raped countless civilian women 

They were asking for it too, right?

Revenge for genocide tastes sweet at first

Then leaves a very bitter aftertaste 

Pay it forward, its name is Nakba, 1948

They were asking for it too, right?

Rape is the gift that keeps on giving

Cycle of violence, see October 7, 2023

A new day that will live in infamy

#MeToo unless you're a Jew, right?

A taste of the enemy's own medicine 

Becomes an overdose in the ruins of Gaza

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

If everyone is asking for it, then who isn't?

Male desecration of the Sacred Feminine 

Sure as hell knows no bounds

The banality of evil writ very, very large

All masked by, "they were asking for it"

The Keystone Lie is thus laid waste

And with it, the whole stack of lies

Has now collapsed faster than you can say,

You guessed it:  "They were asking for it"

So let me ask you one more time again

About the young woman who was raped

Who was supposedly "no angel"

What is your answer now?

Because if your answer to her now

Is anything other than "NEVER AGAIN!"

With NO asterisks or qualifications

Then you, too, must be "asking for it".

(Mic drop)

ALTERNATE ABRIDGED VERSION:

Replace stanzas 11, 12, and 13 with the following two generic stanzas if one feels it is still too soon to include any references to current/recent events in the Middle East:

Revenge for genocide tastes sweet at first

Then leaves a very bitter aftertaste 

Rape is the gift that keeps on giving

They were asking for it too, right?

A taste of the enemy's own medicine 

Becomes an overdose in the ruins of war

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

If everyone is asking for it, then who isn't?

"Why Has Consent Education Failed?"

In light of current events, I recently decided to ask Dr Google, in it's infinite wisdom, "Why Has Consent Education Failed?", and this is the answer we received, verbatim:

Consent education has often fallen short because it is implemented too late, framed too narrowly as a reactive rule rather than a continuous social-emotional skill, and undermined by systemic and political barriers. [1, 2]

Late Timing and "Too Little, Too Late" Delivery

University-level overload: Many institutions rely on one-off modules or heavy orientation slideshows when students arrive on campus, which fails to overwrite years of pre-existing social conditioning, rape culture, and power dynamics. [1, 2]
Delayed introduction: Formal discussions around bodily autonomy and boundaries frequently start in middle or high school rather than early childhood, missing the crucial developmental window where social norms are first established. [1, 2, 3]

Flawed Frameworks and Oversimplification

Binary "Yes or No" limits: Programs often reduce consent to a simple, isolated verbal transaction, ignoring real-world complexities like peer pressure, intoxication, and heavy power imbalances. [1, 2]
Disconnection from everyday life: Treating consent strictly as a "disaster planning" or abstinence-adjacent tool rather than a foundational life skill (respecting physical boundaries, recognizing non-verbal cues) limits its integration into everyday behavior. [1, 2]
Lack of inclusivity: Curriculums often rely on heteronormative frameworks that fail to address the specific vulnerabilities and intersectional harassment faced by LGBTQ+ youth, students of color, and disabled individuals. [1, 2]

Political and Systemic Obstacles

Curriculum erasure and abstinence focus: Many state legislatures restrict comprehensive sex education, favoring abstinence-only or "sexual risk avoidance" models that completely omit or actively strip out consent instruction. [1, 2, 3]
Institutional protection of perpetrators: Educational frameworks focus heavily on individual accountability while structural environments—such as underfunded schools or universities prioritizing reputation—frequently protect offenders and fail to support survivors.

So after over a decade of consent education, why has that apparently not moved the needle even one iota?  Because it's basically done too little, too late. It needs to begin MUCH earlier than college, and earlier than even high school (in a general and age-appropriate way, of course), and be ongoing.  And it is all too often very poorly designed and executed, and all too often patronizing, paternalistic, and infantilizing, thus it needs to be revamped with best practices.  Is it necessary?  Absolutely.  Is it sufficient?  Sadly, no.  Rapists practically always know and understand consent at least on a rudimentary level, but they simply don't care.  It's entitlement, not ignorance (unless it is willful ignorance born of entitlement), that's the real problem here.  And of course, the culture and institutions full of apologists, enablers, and guilty bystanders that give them "social license to operate".

In other words, what typically passes for "consent education" all too often fails to play to the MUSIC of what really happens in practice much of the time.  And that needs to be fixed.

Emily Nagoski's model of consent seems to be one of the best ones out there that we could find.  In her model, consent is not a binary, but rather a spectrum from enthusiastic, to willing, to unwilling, to coerced.  The real dividing line to truly watch out for, where the slope gets slippery, is between willing and unwilling, and then it quickly goes downhill from there.

All that said, ultimately, rape and sexual assault are always and everywhere a cultural problem.  We need to change the culture to reflect enthusiastic consent as the standard:  "if it's not a HELL YEAH!, it's a HELL NO!".  Or at the very least, it must be awake, aware, AND willing consent as the bare minimum.  And furthermore, anthropological evidence has shown that it is entirely possible to have relatively "rape-free" societies as well. In such societies, which are typically matrilineal and matrifocal and where women are highly valued members of community and society, rape is NOT considered "macho" or virile behavior at all, but rather quite the opposite, and those very few men who would dare do so roundly face much ridicule and shame for it. It is basically seen as the ultimate loser, failure, and weak behavior, and it is not at all tolerated. (Nor would a "real man" feel the need to prove himself a man by "scoring" just to get proverbial notches on his belt, as true virility is self-evident.) Rapists thus have no "social license to operate" there at all. In other words, nurture seems to be far more important than nature, as male violence against women and children is a cultural problem at base.

(The late anthropologist Peggy Reeves Sanday had a LOT to say about this!  We should really heed her words of wisdom.)

When rape and sexual assault (and male violence against women and children in general) are seen as not only dishonorable and degenerate, but also the most unmanly thing a man could possibly do as well, that really seems to be the "Achilles' Heel" to eradicating this pandemic of sexual violence for good.

We need to take away rapists' "social license to operate", and stop enabling them.  Yesterday!

"Awake, Aware, AND Willing" is the BARE MINIMUM.

WILLIAM RESPONDS:

I think it’s going to be difficult for women to get fair treatment with rape in any patriarchal country. The worse case is countries like Pakistan where if a woman was go to the police complaining of being raped, she would be arrested and go to jail rather than the rapist. But it’s not a lot better in Western countries. Two of my female friends both had been raped as young women, but both didn’t go to the police because they knew the police would give them a hard time if they did. Which is not what they wanted to go through, having gone through the trauma of rape. 

The point is that many male politicians, judges, lawyers and policemen are more on the side of rapist than on the side of women, in patriarchal countries. But even men who take a more neutral opinion on this, also do fear that women will wrongly accuse them of rape if the law was to favour women. And unfortunately there are some women who will do this, giving all women a bad name. This is why any rape law will fail in any patriarchy country, because the law makers want the rape laws to fail. So the only solution for problem of rape is a matriarchal government. 

PETE RESPONDS:

Indeed, that is sad but true, William. Even the most progressive countries in the world still have this very grave problem, and some countries even seem to be regressing a bit after decades of relative progress. That doesn't mean that reforms cannot be made in the meantime; in the interest of justice, they certainly should! Partial solutions do still have useful value, after all.  But under patriarchy, using the law to try to solve this problem will always have its limits, and the problem will never be truly solved until we have a fully Matriarchal government, and then Goddess willing, rape and sexual assault will ultimately become as rare and unthinkable as cannibalism.

We need to see the forest for the trees, in other words.

And I will add, there is truly a special place in the Lake of Fire (or according to your theology, William, a place called "The Void", which really doesn't sound any better!) for those who would violate and desecrate the Sacred Feminine and Her representatives, in any way, shape, or form!  And a fortiori for those who would do so to children!

And Rasa, if you are seeing this in Heaven, THANK YOU for all you have done for the movement!  The Rubicon has been crossed, and after this temporary detour through these current dark times is through, Women and Mother God will ultimately win!

AMEN

The TSAP's Statement On The Cornell Seven Case

We at the True Spirit of America Party absolutely and wholeheartedly condemn the vile and disgusting actions of the Cornell 7 and all of their apologists, enablers, and guilty bystanders, from the other members of their Chi Phi fraternity who knew and did absolutely nothing, all the way up to and including the administration of Cornell itself who let them off relatively easy for "allegedly" drugging and raping a woman who was clearly incapacitated and could not consent. ("Allegedly" is doing a LOT of work here!)

May their names forever be MUD, the world over!  And may the victim FINALLY get (belated) justice for the atrocities that these vile monsters put her through!  Yesterday.

President Obama Says It Perfectly!

The Overton Window is clearly shifting!

Former President Obama said Monday that while he was president, he often imagined how governments would fare if women were put in charge, saying he was confident they would do better. 

"If you put women in charge of every government for like two years and then just kind of saw, alright, how are things going? I have a strong belief that things would — they wouldn't be perfect — but they'd be better," he said in a discussion with historian Doris Kearns Goodwin at Salem State University.  

(I will add:  And if we do, I don't think any sane person would ever want to go back!)

AMEN 💯.  Shout it from the rooftops!

Latest Convo With William Bond On "Is Love A Weakness?"

Recently, the great Matriarchal author and prophet William Bond wrote an excellent article sharing his latest insights, "Is Love a Weakness?" The short answer to that question is, of course, NO, love is NOT a weakness, despite the patriarchy exploiting it at such.  It is, in fact, one of the greatest strengths there is.  The longer answer, of course, is William's article.

PETE COMMENTS:  

I will add: I personally believe that the ideal, utopian form of government in a post-capitalist, Matriarchal world would be rather difficult to define at this time, but until then, the *protopian* near-ideal would be best described as somewhere between social democracy and democratic socialism. The "three pillars of liberalism" (individual rights, democracy, and the rule of law) are NOT merely optional "nice to haves", but necessary and foundational, regardless of who is in charge, as history has learned the hard way. I still believe that, as Sir Winston Churchill famously said, democracy is the worst form of government EXCEPT for all the others. Provided, of course, that there is a strong Constitution and Bill of Rights to prevent it from devolving to oligarchy, tyranny, or ochlocracy (mob rule), and also strict separation of church and state. But ultimately, the FORM of the government does NOT automatically dictate function, as WHO is in charge is far more important than anything else. And I fully agree that the answer to the "WHO?" question is Women, the better half of humanity. Even then, it has to be the right ones who follow what the late, great Buckminster Fuller called "feminine paradigm of leadership", as not just anyone will do. But one thing is absolutely certain: only when Women reclaim their rightful place as the new leaders of the free world, will peace finally return to Earth, Goddess willing.

Let the planetary healing begin!

WILLIAM RESPONDS: 

You say more or less that women should rule the world and Rasa used to say the same thing. But why don't more people think like that? Because clearly men do a terrible job in ruling our world. Is it just patriarchal propaganda and indoctrination? Or some other reason? Because not even the feminists agree with true matriarchy. 

PETE RESPONDS:

Indeed, I am not sure exactly why more people don't think like us, but I think it is largely a result of thousands of years of patriarchal propaganda.  And the thing is, in the current terminal stage of patriarchy since the 1970s or so, even feminism itself has apparently been affected by it as well.  Late patriarchy, combined with late capitalism (both in their terminal stages), has gone from excluding Women to at least partially *assimilating* them. (That relatively fringe group called the Aristasians have called this phenomenon "The Eclipse".) And liberal feminists have largely accepted such assimilation to one degree or another while radical feminists have generally opposed it.  But neither have openly come out and said that Women should rule the world, at least not until very recently when more and more videos on social media promoting this idea have appeared.  I guess now it is becoming more and more obvious that men are doing a terrible job ruling our world, and the "necessary-evil" assimilation of Women into patriarchy and capitalism has largely run its course, and Women are now able to take the system down from the inside out, Goddess willing. (And I will add:  to paraphrase a famous quote, the patriarchy tried to bury (and later swallow whole) Women, they didn't know they were SEEDS!)

WILLIAM RESPONDS:

My impression is that women are frightened of matriarchy, as they fear how men will react to any idea of women ruling the world.  I'm sure the reason why Rasa was able to speak out about matriarchy was because she was fearless, but most women are not like that. I just hope the younger generation of women will be less frightened to talk about matriarchy. 

PETE CONCLUDES:

Indeed, I believe you are also correct about that, William.  And I too am also more optimistic about the younger generation of Women in that regard as well, as they seem to be more fearless about that than previous generations, Goddess willing.

May we finally move into the Age of Aquarius, which as we know, is really the Age of Women.

Let the planetary healing begin! 

Is Love a Weakness? (By William Bond)

By William Bond 

(Originally posted on the Rasa Von Werder blog)

Popular culture tells us that it’s alpha people who rule the world. But these alpha types are generally the most, aggressive and deceitful people on the planet. So many are the worse types of people we have, that are ruling our world. It’s why we live in a unfair world of conflict, war, genocide and oppression. So we would be better off is loving people rule our world instead. But there is a common belief that; “love is a weakness.” and there is good reason why people believe this. Loving people will put the needs of others before their own and are not assertive or aggressive with other people. Because of this, some unscrupulous people will take full advantage of loving people and exploit them. Its for this reason, many people assume that loving people are weak, but is this true?

We generally find loving behaviour more in women than in men and there is a evolutionary reason for this. It is known that women have a maternal instinct, where women not only want to give birth to children but also want to care and look after them until they are capable of looking after themselves. We see this behaviour not only in human females but in mammals and birds. The reason for this is that if mothers of many animal species didn’t care for their young, the species they belong to, would go instinct. So even though we assume that love in a weakness, if mothers didn’t have a this powerful instinct to care and look after their children, the human race would die out. But we find that women not only have an instinct to care and nurture their own children but also the children of other mothers. As well as caring for the sick, elderly, animals and men. So in theory we would all be better of if we had maternal minded women rule the world. But unfortunately it’s not as easy as that, as we seem to live in a system where loving people are excluded from power, whether they are male or female. 

So we live in a world where loving people are thought of as weak while selfish and assertive people  are seen as strong. But unfortunately we pay a heavy price for these beliefs because we end up with selfish and ruthless people ruling our world. When we look at history we see its a story of conflict, wars, genocide as well as a huge disparity of wealth between rich and poor. This is because we generally have selfish and uncaring people in positions of power. A ruler who desires to start a war to conquer another country obviously doesn't care about the harm a war will do to the people he is invading. Or even the harm it might do to the people of his own country, if the war goes badly wrong. Likewise, a government who follows policies that greatly benefit only a small ruling elite at the expense of the majority of the population, also clearly doesn’t care about the people they rule. 

This has been the story throughout history and its still true today. Where in the 21st century we still have wars and genocide, as well as a huge gap between rich and poor. So what can we do to change this? And the obvious answer in democratic countries is to vote into power loving politicians who care about the people they rule. But off course there are big problems in trying to do this. It is claimed that the USA has; “the best democracy that money can buy.” Unfortunately this is not only true of the USA but in all Western democratic countries, where corruption in politics is commonplace. So even if the voters, voted for a politician who genuinely cares about people. He or she will be side-lined from any position of power by the majority of corrupt politicians. Who don’t want anyone upsetting their gravy train.

A politician that did work out that people do want caring and loving people in positions of power was Jacinda Ardern in New Zealand. She campaigned on the basis that she was a genuinely caring person and through this became Prime Minster. But once she was in power, she proved to be a normal, lying, scheming, two-faced politician. Who never intended to keep her election promises and did the opposite to what she said she would do. This made her so unpopular with the people, that her own party had to get rid of her before the next election. But this does prove that people do want to be ruled by loving and caring people, but what prevents this from happening, is corruption. 

The point is that if we were able to get rid of corruption, and had a political party who did campaign on the basis they are genuine loving people who would care about the people they rule. And then when they got into power, kept all their election promises. So they ruled for the benefit of the majority of people and not for the benefit of the billionaire class. Then in every election the people would always vote for a party like this. So if politicians did do this, then love becomes a strength and not a weakness. 

But of course getting rid of corruption is not easy, but it has been recognized world-wide that corruption is what destroys all countries. For instance we have seen over the last 50 years the decline in power of all Western counties. The main reason for this that at the beginning of 1980s Western countries started the policy of, “deregulation”. Where it was claimed that too many regulations stifled business. But what they didn’t point out was that these regulations were there to prevent corruption. So by getting rid of these laws has allowed corruption to thrive, until it took over the whole political system of the Western world. Bringing about the decline, in the power of Western democracies. Why corruption is destroying Western countries is that wealthy entrepreneurs no longer invest their money into manufacturing. Because they can make far more money in, insider trading, share buybacks and other dodgy money-making schemes. So the manufacturing base of Western countries has declined through neglect and has gone East. 

Meanwhile the government of China recognized that it was corruption that was hampering the grown of their economy. So they started a campaign to stamp out corruption, to the degree where anyone found guilty of corruption can get life imprisonment or are executed. Not even billionaires are immune from this. China has executed 14 yuan billionaires between 2003 and 2011 on corruption charges and other crimes. This would never happen in Western countries where billionaires are above the law and can literately get away with murder. It is the anti-corruption drive that is one of the main reasons for China’s growth and prosperity. Because in China for anyone to bribe a government official is seen as a capital offence resulting in life imprisonment or the death penalty. While in Western countries it’s seen as normal business. 

Which means that if Western governments fail to address the corruption problem, then the decline of all Western countries will continue. So if we look at it in the long term, countries that stamp out corruption will always be more successful than countries that allow it to continue and flourish. China is able to stamp out corruption because it’s a dictatorship and its government saw the billionaire class as a threat to their power. The trouble is with this, is that this doesn’t guarantee that a future Chinese government will think the same way. A future Chinese leader might not understand the dangers of corruption and allow it to thrive bringing ruin to his country. Then unfortunately the people won’t be able to do anything about it because China is a dictatorship. Although it has to be said this can happen in a democracy, like we saw at the beginning of the 1980s. Where the disastrous policies like; deregulation and “trickle-down economics” were adopted. Which greatly benefited the wealthy at the expense of the common people and caused the decline in Western manufacturing.

So we can see clearly that corruption will lead to the total disintegration of Western countries which will in time force them to change the way they govern themselves. In that time of change, we have to stick to what works and understand what doesn’t work. So the number one item on this list will be to stamp out corruption. Then create a system where honest, loving people get into positions of power. This can only be guaranteed in a democracy. Some people have claim that the best type of government is a benevolent dictatorship. Which in theory, sounds like a good idea, but no one can explain how to ensure we get benevolent people in positions of power. This is why we need democracy because even though it can be subverted by corruption. Its still a method where the common people will have some say in how they are governed. 

So to achieve a better form of government we need three things: A democratic system, then to have a type of constitution where all forms of corruption are stamped out. Then finally a willingness of voters to vote into power honest, decent politicians who care about the people they rule. It’s true that there will be other Jacinda Ardern type politicians, who claim to be loving and caring people but are in truth just lying, two-faced politicians. But in a system that stamps out corruption, then this type of politician cannot thrive and will be soon be found out. 

In mainstream politics, people debate which is the best political system. So some people might advocate capitalism while others will advocate communism. But to me its more; “the singer not the song.” Whatever system we have, if the rulers are corrupt, stupid or even insane, they will destroy the country they are ruling. While intelligent, competent and caring rulers will ensure the country thrives and the people enjoy a high standard of living. We can see this in recent history, in the time of the Soviet Union the Capitalist system of Western countries worked better than the Soviet communist system which finally collapsed in 1990. But in the 21st century we are finding that the Chinese communist system is working better than Capitalist system of Western countries. It’s claimed that the reason for this is that, Chinese rulers are very pragmatic and are more interested in what works and doesn’t work. While Western rulers are blinded by ideology. A less than charitable reason is that it’s also claimed that; “China is ruled by engineers and scientists, while the West is ruled by lawyers and clowns.” 

So clearly the type of rulers we have, is far more important than the political system they use. This is why we need to get rid of the idea that, “love is a weakness” and instead realise that we want loving, caring and competent people ruling our world and do everything we can, to ensure that this happens.

How is it Possible for Women to Rule the World? (By William Bond)

By William Bond 

(Originally posted on the Rasa Von Werder blog)

Since the 1980s I have been advocating both matriarchy and that God is a woman. But thinking about it these two concepts are in contradiction with each other. Because if God is female then why are we living in a patriarchal world? Surely a female God would ensure that it’s women who rule the world and not men. We can only understand this contradiction by realising that we are first and foremost spiritual beings. So life on Earth, in our material bodies, is only a small part of our existence. As I have written in my new book, Mother God Hypothesis, the purpose of living our on planet is to learn love. Where women are the teachers and teach men how to love. 

So if the spiritual purpose of women is to teach men how to love. Then surely it would be easier for women to do this if women ruled the world? That’s true, but both men and women also have to be tested to truly know if we understood how to love. So the way to do this, is in a patriarchal society where men have responsibility for ruling the world and see how they will rule when they are in-charge. But when women released the reigns of power and allowed men to rule our world it went badly wrong from the beginning. Scientists using DNA evidence has shown that about 7000 years ago in Europe and the Middle East 95% of all men were killed but not women. It seems that 7000 years ago men fought such savage wars, the majority of men died in this violence. This has been supported also by archaeology where mass graves of men have been discovered by archaeologists, where all the men showed signs of a violent death. 

This was theorised in 1950s and 60s by the archaeologist Marija Gimbutas who claimed that peaceful Goddess cultures were conquered by people she called the Kurgan. At the time this theory was strongly disputed but in more recent times, DNA evidence have supported her theories. Although nowadays they call the Kurgan people the Yamnaya. A good video explaining this is called; Ancient Civilizations: The Goddess vs. The Yamnaya.

So the switch from matriarchy to patriarchy got off to a very bad start. But Mother God is forgiving, tolerant and understanding and so men were allowed to continue to rule. And to their credit they did manage to curb their extreme violence and somehow create societies without murdering each other. Although wars and genocide did continue as well as slavery and the oppression of women. Unfortunately this has been the story of patriarchy ever since. Although it has to be admitted things have slowly changed for the better. For instance, back in Roman times gladiators were forced to fight each other to the death for the sole purpose of entertaining Roman spectators. There is no place on our planet today, where this would be tolerated or accepted. So everything is slowly changing for the better, like we see in the 19th century, where both slavery and serfdom were both abolished. But wars and even genocide are still happening today in the 21st century. 

But patriarchy hasn’t only just been a test of love for men, it also at test for women as well. Teaching love to men in a matriarchal society would have been a lot easier for women, because they would have the status and authority to do this. It is far more difficult for women to do this in any patriarchal society because women would be teaching men love from the position of being a second class citizen. Because of this, many women have found this so difficult that they have ended up being taught by men that; “love is a weakness”. So many women have learnt from men, how not to love and even how to hate. 

In spite of the progress men have made in becoming more loving people compared with what they were like thousands of years ago. There are signs that MotherGod has decided to bring this test to an end we can see this in the rise of feminism. This started back in the 18th century with the book; “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” by Mary Wollstonecraft. Since then feminism has grown so that in the 20th century, there has been large numbers of countries throughout the word which has given equal rights to women. So will this lead to a matriarchal world? It might happen but at present one of the biggest opponents of matriarchy are feminists. Feminism has been very successful by promoting the concept of sexual equality. So they see matriarchy as being the flip side of patriarchy where women oppress men in much the same way as men have oppressed women. For this reason many feminists oppose matriarchy as strongly as they oppose patriarchy, because matriarchy undermines their argument for sexual equality. 

If that’s the case, how can matriarchy succeed if it’s being opposed by patriarchal men and feminist women? The only community I know who want matriarchy and women to rule the world, is the femdom community but they promote feminists worse fears. They have fantasies of cruel women who use men like abused slaves. So this form of matriarchy wouldn’t work, because the spiritual purpose of women is to teach men how to love. But perhaps we won’t need a matriarchal movement like feminism to bring about matriarchy, it might just happen spontaneously. How this could happen we can see women’s academic performance. I looked this up on the internet and this is what I got. 

Grade Performance: Meta-analyses confirm that girls earn higher grades than boys in all major subjects, including mathematics and science, with the gap being largest in language courses and smallest in STEM fields. 

Educational Attainment: Women began earning more college degrees than men in the mid-1980s and continue to dominate enrollment; in 2018, 57% of students in U.S. degree-granting institutions were female. 

Subject-Specific Nuances: While women generally achieve higher grades, men may still score higher on standardized math and science tests, though recent research indicates negligible gender differences in actual mathematical ability. 

Graduation Rates: Women have higher graduation rates in every U.S. state, with female graduation rates exceeding 70% in 16 states compared to only two states for men.

So it seems that feminist activism in pushing for equality in academia, has resulted in women outperforming men. So in theory this should result in women taking over and ruling our world, but this hasn’t happened yet. The reason is that women have a couple of more hurdles to jump over, to do this. The main one is childbirth. Many career minded women end up having to choose between having a career or having children. This is less of a problem for women from wealthy families as she can hire a nanny to look after her children, but is a big problem for women who can’t afford to do that. As the result, the birth rate in countries where there is sexual equality has dramatically decreased. While in countries and cultures where women are still oppressed by men, so women are not encouraged to have a career, the birth rate still continues to rise. 

The second problem is that too many women now believe what men taught them, that “love is a weakness”. So many feminist women in trying to be equal to men believe that have to act and behave like men to gain power, wealth and status. The result has been that although we have seen an increase in the number of female politicians, all of them are as dishonest, crooked and duplicitous as the average male politician. So for the general public there is no advantage in voting for a female politician because she will probably be as corrupt as a male politician. 

The only way women can progress to matriarchy is to ditch feminism, even though it has served them so well, for more than the last two hundred years. So can feminism accept that men and women are very different? We see this already with trans women row, where biological men have tried to muscle into female sports by claiming they are women. This could have been the death of female sport if some brave sportswomen hadn’t had spoken up. This has resulted in women having to accept that men and women are biologically different, as men’s greater size and strength does give men a decisive advantage in nearly all sports. So if women can accept this, they then can accept how difference men and women are different, in so many other ways. Like we see in women’s academic achievements where women outperform men. Not that this is anything new, it has been written about in the 20th century in books like: The Natural Superiority of Women, by Ashley Montagu; Brain Sex, by Ann Moir and David Jessel and Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, by John Gray. 

Feminist hated books like this because it undermines their argument that men and women are the same. But science does support everything these authors say about the difference between men and women. Two hundred years ago Mary Wollstonecraft made the argument that men and women are the same because sexist men at that time made claims that men ruled the world because they were more intelligent than women. Or that women were,”too emotional” to makes sensible decisions. (“Sensible” decisions like starting wars). But feminists have already won Mary Wollstonecraft’s argument for her. Academic women have proven that men are not more intelligent than women and are able to make sensible decisions. Very few men, (outside of Islam) would today dare publicly claim that men are more intelligent than women, like they did in the 18th and 19th centuries. So matriarchy is not as big a threat to women’s empowerment, as feminist believe it to be. 

So it should be possible to have a matriarchal political party which claims that it women would make better rulers than men if they act and behave like women and not try to imitate men. So women in a matriarchal party should make it clear that women have maternal and nurturing instincts and it’s natural for women to love and care for others. So they will follow their strongest instincts and care about the people they rule. Which means they will be not be corrupt and so won’t accept bribes from billionaires, large corporations or anyone else. But doing this they will demonstrate that love is a strength and not a weakness. 

The point is that the public are fed up with lying and corrupt politicians and will vote for any politician who tells the truth and does what she says she will do. So straight away we can see that a matriarchal party of real women who do follow their maternal instincts have a big advantage. It has been shown that a political platform like this can work. Jacinda Ardern used it to became Prime Minster of New Zealand. But as it turned out she proved to be a normal lying and corrupt politician who had no intention of keeping her election promises. So she quickly became very unpopular and was forced to resign. So this means that any Matriarchal political party not only has to tell the public they are caring and loving women, they have to put it into practise and keep their promises. When they get into power. Or they to will be vote out of power in the next election. Also, once there is one successful matriarchal government somewhere in the world. It will encourage people of other countries to try to do the same thing. 

It is well known that corruption is the main cause of decline of any country. For instance in China they are so frightened of corruption, that they have executed government officials who accept bribes. It is the main reason why the western countries are declining. Back in the early 1980s the Regan government proposed the idea of “deregulation”, claiming that too much regulation was hampering business dealings. Other western countries also adopted the same idea. What was not explained was that these regulations were there to try to prevent corruption. So when the regulations  were abolished, corruption in all Western countries went unchecked. So the Chinese economy who is doing it’s best to limit corruption is growing, while Western countries where corruption is rampant, is declining. This means that a matriarchal government who is serious about caring for the people and won’t accept bribes from anyone, will prosper and give their people a better standard of living. So once a matriarchal government gets into power, providing the women follow their maternal instincts, they will continue to rule as long as they like.
