Once upon a time, there was a planet on the farthest end of the galaxy. This planet was strange in the strangest of ways. Such is written in the books today.
There lived on the planet women and men. Each woman had an equal of four men to herself. Such was the planet. The women’s brains had powerful right hemispheres that were holistic and iconic. With that power they realized they could control everything and anything on their planet – even their counterparts who belonged to the same species and were physically larger and stronger when fully grown, but their brains’ predominantly masculine left hemispheres were linear and abstract which rendered them very low in emotional intelligence and almost always single-tasking.
The women were queens and stateswomen, the rulers and matriarchs. They were emotionally intelligent, multi-tasking, brave, charming and possessed phenomenal heights of pain threshold. This helped them conquer their planet and rule over all men and animals despite the one fact that they were smaller and physically less strong than their men.

Their men … the men were theirs. The men belonged to the women, physically, mentally and spiritually because the women had argued satisfactorily that every giver of life was female – the earth, clouds, water, and the one and almighty Goddess.
The men were the caretakers of their homes, for that is where they belonged. There couldn’t be any other intelligent alternative. See, the women, who had greater pain threshold and were thus internally stronger, had proven scientifically that they were indeed stronger in mind and body. The weak and unhealthy fetuses that were aborted naturally were in 90% of the cases, male. The male were internally weaker, had greater chances of being unhealthy, and died sooner.
They also could not give birth – a severe bodily handicap on their part. That honour resided solely with the women who were capable of nurturing a child in the flesh and even creating a life-sustaining organ inside their bodies. They were the Inanna.
These people had very strange values. That is what is said today. Their gender roles were based on rules of intercourse. And the ‘doer’ was never male for his prowess was neither complex nor developed. You see, while we today think that power lies with the man who is the ‘doer’ and ‘implanter’, these highly advanced beings thought otherwise. The woman had the power to ‘envelope’ and ‘devour’; she had heightened senses and complex dexterity. Above all, she was the one who carried the magnificent power to procreate. Being the host to the male seed, she was the only one who decided towards whom she wanted to be hospitable and how many times she wanted to marry.
The woman was the matriarch and her consort was always smaller, younger, and weaker than her. He was a lover who was easily dispensable and was often cast off after he had accomplished his duties of impregnation.
Every end of procreation term, she disappeared into the mountainous caves and returned some days later with the baby. The baby that she had created, developed and brought forth. It was believed that her husbands could not witness the birth because they did not even have the strength to watch the mighty act of birthing. While the women stayed in the caves to complete the birthing process, men held vigils praying to the Great Goddess to grant them daughters for obviously every parent wished for the child who could control rather than be controlled. Wishing for a boy meant wishing for life-long worry. A boy had to be infantilized, nurtured, and protected for his honour. His honour meant the family’s honour and if he dishonoured his family, he was severely punished by the matriarch of the clan.
Thus, with her sexual power, high emotional intelligence, multi-tasking capabilities, heightened pain threshold and inner physical strength she calculatingly over-powered, enveloped and devoured the man who was simple and linear. While she went out to hunt and bring home the prey, he was asked to put his outer strength to clean his home and the family’s belongings. She hunted, he cooked. She gave birth, he brought them up. She build the house, he kept it in order. She proposed, he accepted. And when she divorced him, he complied.
But then one day, the original matriarch of the planet made a serious mistake. She allowed one of her husbands to hunt for food and being naïve that he was, he hunted the sacred doe; the doe of Mother Nature. That was a grave sin in the eyes of all the matriarchs and the Great Goddess. It was a sin which could not be pardoned and as punishment he was sent to planet Earth along with a much repentant original matriarch.

On his way to Earth, he was given The Book of Code by the Great Goddess. He had never read a book before. All he knew was images which were mainly understood by the matriarchs. The written word was more abstract but still easily understood by the man. He read it and understood it, but then he interpreted it for his matriarch to be understood by her.
The first thing he interpreted as he pleased was to give himself a name. He called himself, Adam. And the rest is like we say, history.
Images taken from here.


except for the “an equal of four men to herself” bit, i don’t like much of the story!
Of course
Nightmare!
fascinating and engaging vision
wow!! I’m impressed!
A counter clockwise theory of control and controlled,and the history of Adam on earth simply briliant!
Love it.

Ofcourse
Strange thing is that I know of only one matriarchy where the men are really dominated, more like a turned around patriarchy.
This is the sort of matriarchy which is really a turned around patriarchy you always see in SF-movies… Men’s ultimate nightmare!
Matriarchy on Earth is always fair to men.
I have been thinking a lot about that and maybe that is the reason almost all matriarchies have turned into patriarchies.
Time I write a post on that…
Sounds very interesting! Never thought they existed for real.
I didn’t make all this up. In ancient societies that didn’t have the written word and only worked with visual art, women were matriarchs and goddesses. Yes, they were not controlling and that is all the fiction there is, written to bring out how controlling patriarchy is in its most tribal form.
It is argued that controlling patriarchy is the result of the written word that even twisted Adam’s exile from Paradise blaming Eve for it.
90% of miscarriages are proven to be boy fetuses because they are weaker. Women have higher pain thresholds, are multi-tasking and have higher emotional intelligence. But their brains are not better equipped to understand abstract notions like men. They are holistic, nevertheless.
Ancient goddesses were often also depicted to have younger and smaller consorts who were believed to be dispensable.
But still matriarchy was nurturing rather than suffocating, if it was otherwise, patriarchy would have never spread.
Welcome back.
Thanks darling
What an amazing post! LOVE IT!
Thanks Sara! And welcome to my humble blog
Wow, amazing post! This is beautifully written and embedded with excellent points
Thank you, Jehanzeb and welcome to Achelois
I just finished reading your post on shared worship in mosques and loved it. Will comment after re-reading, iA.
LOL. @ “It was believed that her husbands could not witness the birth because they did not even have the strength to watch the mighty act of birthing.”
Boy, could I tell a story or two of my own, just based off that one sentence…..
Haha. I’m all ears!
My husband thinks I take great pride in my heightened pain threshold because he did all the fainting
Of course, I do!
Yaay, I found you!
And great post.
Wow, at the end of it I was fully expecting it to be copy+pasted from some mythology textbook! And this sentence alone has given me something to think about “for obviously every parent wished for the child who could control rather than be controlled.” It’s such a different angle to think about…
with baby #2 I broke down and had an epidural. After it was done, I laid back down and the midwife said “Oh, you are at ten! You can push now!” so there I am all ready to push and all of a sudden my husband leans into hug me.
wrong.
He faints on top of me, falling on me and then proceeds (in perpetual slow motion) to roll off me, off the side of the bed landing straight on his back on the hardwood floor with a resounding “thwack!”
he was out cold for a solid minute as a whole medical team rushed to his side.
He woke up finally and said “i can’t feel my arms!”.
I remember thinking right there “great! How am I supposed to take care of a baby AND a paraplegic?!”
Thankfully, with lots of accupuncture, he recovered within 3 days. But he missed the birth. they had to wheel him down to xray before my baby was born and he got to see the birth photos on his sister’s cell phone while waiting on a gurnee.
I swear I couldn’t make this up if I tried (as well as many other of my life stories).
LOL,
Maybe his anxiety kept him away from eating for the day! That was hilarious,Sabiwabi!
Wow! It’s all true and a man has to witness a birth of a child and all that a woman goes through before he can truly argue who is the *strongest*.
Sabiwabi, hehehe, that was really funny. I know a friend’s husband who threw up and she had to scream at him to stop being a *wuss* (well, she called him some names that weren’t really nice)
That was funny, Sabiwabi.
I think it has to do with epidural because my husband collapsed both times during my epidural. The third time I got him kicked out before it
I requested it all three times and even after numerous poking it never once worked.
Imagine they pass out even before the real thing and it just makes us so much angrier. Wusses indeed!
Great story! Made me think of the Amazons, though they didn’t keep men around, other than slaves (possibly?).
Great story! I’m still thinking about the consequences.
laura, the Amazons were made up by ancient greeks, Herodotus in particular. He based his Amazons on rumours of the Sarmatians, a neighbouring people to the Scythians.
The Sarmatians seem to have lived a very normal life for the times, (not keeping all men as slaves) but Sarmatian women have been found buried as warriors, with weapons and horses, like male warriors.
The Celts also buried some women with full warrior regalia.
There are some very traditional Dutch girl’s names which to my surprise originally meant things like ”Warrior(ess) for the people” or ”Warrior(ess) with the grey hairs”
German names are often very warlike in their original meaning, like ”Victory in battle” ”Shield from the snake tree”
My own mother’s name meant ”Courageous and compassionate in battle”
A proper name for her btw.
This is so interesting! Never knew all this.
Lat, funny, my daughter was actually born on Layltul Qadr..so he WAS fasting! The doc said he was extremely dehydrated too!
Achelois, it isn’t funny. With my last delivery, the nurse told us a story about how they now kick all the men out during epidurals because one man actually collapsed and DIED ON THE SPOT during his wife’s epidural.
Can you believe that?!
the stories of men fainting on the spot are funny, but the man dying is very sad! :’(
That’s bad and sad
I once read a study in which four men were given pain through artificial means in their groin and lower abdomen to resemble labour pains and three of the four had a heart attack! Men can’t bear that kind of pain that little girls who are married early often have to go through.
Stronger indeed!
