A Sick, Wounded Monster
The battle of women and their allies against sexist oppression has been the most widespread and hopeful of people’s struggles in the last decades. The vicious oppression of over half of the people of the world had perpetuated itself without effective challenge for thousands of years. It was called into question and much of its foundations eroded in a remarkably short period of time, speaking historically. The main structure of the oppression still stands, its cruelty and viciousness still operate, but it is a sick, wounded monster. It can never recover its domination of human populations in the ways it dominated them for so long.
