peace and hotep,
the difference between Euro and African patriarchy is 25,000 years of ice.
iyah360, if a patriarhal system is displaced and mutated into something not recognisable as patriarchy but more akin to barbarism , would it be accurate to refer to it as the same ole patriarchy or could you describe it as patriarchy anymore. everything that devolved during the eurasian ice age beginning 35,000 bc became barbarism, even patriarchy carried there by africans.
i would say that a rose by any other name is not still a rose. a rose is what it was originally.
patriarchy in africa may have never changed but it was infected by a 'new patriarchy' and change from what it originally was.
that is why i see the patriarchal faith of the bible, for instance, as foreign to africa and essentially barbarian.
