with the 'ranking' of people. And when you immediately rank 1/2 the population (men over women) you have no problem ranking cultures, races etc.

The patriarchal system is an absolute disaster, especially for the times (like now) that we need to understand how to stop destroying our world. The more I see this, the more pictures of our (generally patriarchal) 'fearless leaders at war' the more I see the equivalent of monkeys throwing poo at each other while the jungle burns (with apologies to the monkeys).
