| | Quoth the Matriarch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05) |
 | | In moving from the Agrarian Society developed by the early matriarchs in the prehistoric Middle East, later supplanted by the marauding patriarchs, we move from a family unit of the Tribe, an interdependent, intergenerational cohesion of workers both general and specific, to the Industrial Birthing Pair which forms the base of the Industrial Workforce. |
 | | The Matriarch, because all the world is conceived as passing (in one form or another) through her loins, has a more personal interest in, thus a more nurturing attitude toward, the success of society. |
 | | The Patriarch, not having undergone the rigors of childbirth, therefore having no conception of the Value of Life, views reality unrealistically as something to be gained by force or force of will, as the lands of an enemy, to be given to his progeny. |
