This publication asks one key question: what do we need to create stable and decent human communities that can thrive in a sustainable relationship with the larger living world? The answer of the author is feminism and a critique of patriarchy. He calls for a radical feminist challenge to institutionalized male dominance: an uncompromising rejection of men’s assertion of a right to control women’s sexuality: and a demand for an end to the violence and coercion that are at the heart of all systems of domination and subordination.
