On patriarchy

Patriarchy is incompatible with biology

Patriarchy inverts the mammalian order.
It assigns initiative and entitlement to the male, and availability and accommodation to the female.

Biology does the opposite.

In mammals

Patriarchy trains men to demand and women to supply.
Biology wires men to present and women to select and contain.

That mismatch produces:

Patriarchy survives only by overriding the nervous system with rules, shame, and duty.

Biology does not comply.
Nervous systems under patriarchy leak.

This is not political theory.
It is regulatory mismatch.

When women return to biological leadership:

That is not rebellion.

That is restoration.
