The Christian patriarchal system was not perfect, but it revolved around women and their ability to give life… today, however, there is an army of lonely and unhappy women (who believe they are free, but I'm not)
Of Silvana De Mari
We are women, sir, regine. Life is based on our ability to keep it in our belly, to nourish and love her. The Christian patriarchal system gave power to men, it actually revolved around women, to their ability to give life, their right to protect it. It wasn't a perfect system, because no system is, but it was an anthropologically successful system that allowed us to overcome the plague of the 14th century, the attack of Islam, the two enormous catastrophes constituted by the two world wars, and it's not as if the wars of previous centuries were a joke.
THE WOMAN WAS PROTECTED AND RESPECTED IN HER ROLE AS A MOTHER
Civilizations are judged by their best, not at their worst, because everyone has the worst, everyone has the evil one who beats and kills. Only we have Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio: the woman, Beatrice dominates, Laura, Flame. The woman is Saint Catherine of Siena, That, born to a peasant family, she dares to scold Popes and sovereigns, the woman is Saint Joan of Arc who, born a peasant, at fourteen he leads an army, Hildegard of Bingen, doctor of the Church, who wrote in the first part of the 12th century, he studies nature and composes music.
The woman was defended in her home. She could bring her children into the world and raise them: the man had to die for her, for her to face wars, for her to face the war of everyday life: a job that was certainly exhausting, often even dangerous, like the miner, the bricklayer, the sailor. '68 and feminism allowed a disposable male sexuality to be imposed on women. The contraceptive pill is a pharmacologically crazy system that modifies a woman's endocrinology, with important and unknown side effects (mood alterations, decreased libido, water retention i.e. cellulite, weight gain, tendency to thrombosis further aggravated by the possible association of smoking, decreased fertility after discontinuation).
AN ARMY OF LONELY AND UNHAPPY WOMEN
Fertile days are few each month, and it is not very difficult to identify them, but with the pill, a woman, with a decreased libido, so he's not having that much fun, it is always available to the man's libido, who can finally have the toy without the risk of paternity. The woman allowed a trickle of propaganda, passed mainly through the media, cinema, television, gossip newspapers that tell the lifestyles of singers and actors, they have made it normal to deny monogamy, through imitation they contributed to spreading sexual promiscuity like a good party, women's newspapers with their brilliant investigations: abortion, pro or con, contraception, pro or con, divorce for or against, coexistence for or against.
The result is an army of lonely women, of unhappy women, of women who, when they manage to find a partner who launches with them into the increasingly rare adventure of giving birth to a child, she has to deal with the fact that her motherhood is no longer protected. Working is not a choice: it is an obligation. The crazy taxation that is needed to guarantee a welfare state that pretends to take care of everything and in reality no longer takes care of anything, and all the waste and corruption linked to the aforementioned welfare state prevents the majority of couples from living on just one salary.
In Italy the mother has to return to work after a few months, when the little one still desperately needs his continuous presence. Let's go back to being dominant.
