A film by Anne Henderson
Human nature is not fixed. We can and do reshape ourselves
every time we change our culture. Nor is there anything
natural or innate in male domination. In ancient Egyptian
villages along the Nile, this video explores the evolution of
patriarchy as one effective way of organizing mass societies.
The patriarchal order was not inevitable, it was merely
functional. But the world is a different place now, and it's
time to find alternatives to hierarchies and militarization.
"Male domination is not natural, and neither is equality of
the sexes - it all depends. Same goes for whether we are
warlike or peaceful, democratic or authoritarian. Change the
way we live, and you may also change the way we behave toward
each other." Gywnne Dyer
