For the Women's Day, instead of usual, banal bunch of mimosas, I would like to offer you a praise of the female, matriarch and woman and an exhortation to conquer that role. After decades of feminism and working women, that come out, who live more outside than inside, lesbians in the square and cubists on display, let's take a ruthless assessment. You are truly better, you feel more accomplished, you are happier or more alienated, more employees, more frustrated? A Copernican revolution is needed to regain the lost home and the female dignity that lived there. Without taking anything away from everything else.

1) The woman is queen of the house, man is subject and guest

As the history of matriarchy teaches, from the Mediterranean civilization to the more recent past, and how our grandmothers and mothers also taught, women were the rulers and not the maids of their sons and husbands, how they later became, halving between home and work; and over the years the status of mothers and guardians of domestic traditions, of household goods and man's last refuge, it gave them a power and even a charisma denied to males. When they were old they became almost hieratic, venerated as wise tyrannosaurs or as saints and seers, atavistic wombs from which the family descended, sitting on royal thrones weaving the past and future of their loved ones.

2) The woman is the instigator, the man is his boy

The strategic importance of remote controlling husbands, companions and children from home. Who said that those who stay at home or in the background count less than those who stay outside and get agitated? It is at home that strategies are decided, It is at home that you have the keys to your life and that of your family, and who rules at home, commands outside. Praise of the house as an impregnable fortress and as a headquarters in which to study wars, assaults and conquests, or in which to prepare retreats, ascetic escapes and refuges. Without saying that whoever dominates the house always has two possibilities, to stay or go out; while those who have no home, it only has one.

3) The woman is a pillar, man is a passenger

In the society of mobility and flexible and precarious work, the house acquires extraordinary importance, which instead seemed destined to be deserted due to the nomadic status of global society. Instead, at home today there is a computer that opens us to the world, there is remote working, there is the most advanced technology and the holy trinity of modernity: telephone, internet and television. We communicate from home more than on the street. Who dominates the house, dominates communication. The domestic hearth needs not an angel or a vestal virgin but more...

4) The woman is multiple, man is monotonous

The woman has, compared to man, undeniable additional biological resources. In addition to living longer and being more resistant to many diseases, has a much richer erotic and biological heritage. Can have multiple orgasms and cultivate multiple relationships, also parallel and consecutive, while a man has more limited sexual resources; can fake orgasms while the man is forced to display an erection. In short, women can play on multiple tables and even alternate in the role of woman and man, while man cannot play on two tables and with two roles, he barely manages one.

5) The woman binds, the man unties

The woman has an extra genetic card, motherhood of which fatherhood is only a pale and distant imitation. The abysmal difference between insemination and pregnancy, between father and childbirth, between paternal role and breastfeeding, The dependence of children on women is physical and metaphysical, carnal and biological, food and nourishing; that of the fathers can at most be intellectual and moral, an economic one. A father is wireless, while a mother always has an invisible umbilical cord to her family. Don't experience it as a chain and a deficiency but as a resource and a wealth.

6) Joyful is the feminine, grim is feminism

Feminism brought yes, some important emancipations and some undeniable achievements but overall it ended with an abdication of femininity and a sterile imitation of the male model. The woman has become the hysterical and poor imitation of the male. Hence the need to recover femininity in all its vigorous fullness, for your good, ours and third parties. Let's abolish March 8th and leave the mimosas in the fields: they are more beautiful at home and don't give you headaches, like in home planters.

7) Matriarch, not showgirls

The uninhibited and exhibitionist woman, on TV and in advertising, in everyday life and at work, she has become even more of an object woman than the submissive woman of the past, because her sex appeal is used to sell goods, to seduce with a view to something else, to include new commercial forms of prostitution. The woman becomes an instrument for the market, recess interval, geisha for industrial and commercial negotiations, even a substitute for masturbation. The veiled women of Islam are submissive women but the showgirls of the West are just itches and not people, gadgets and not intelligence. Behind a veil a true face and a living intelligence can be hidden; behind two silicone lips and a lifted face, the face becomes a fiction and intelligence has emigrated illegally.

To finish: the woman is still

Let's free ourselves from the false operatic prejudice that women are mobile, like a feather in the wind. Woman is the axis that does not waver, as Lao Tse put it, the fixed point in family and social structures. His strong point was the unity of the family; earn more today, also from separations, but it's worth less. And then it's also true in sport: those who play at home are favourites. Move from domestic sovereignty to home automation sovereignty. But don't forget the etymology, donna derives from domina and domus, that is, as a lady and a house; take back the lordship and its castle.
(Girls, calm, we joked, even if there is a dose of truth in the joke...).
