How men assure themselves their power will continue into the future after death is through demonstrations of control of women’s bodies. Think of this when you see harems in music videos, read about Genghis Khan, Henry the 8th, or Hitler, or the dress codes for any religious sect.

@Exacerbati what’s the key feminist text for this idea?

Did not expect ppl would respond to this thread so strongly! Guess we’re hungry for some materialist incentive analysis in our feminism. I totally get why- w/o it the subjugation of female ppl across cultures can make you feel insane. We make people. That gives men big feelings.

The Creation of Patriarchy by Gerda Lerner is a decent start.

Got that; any other recommendations much appreciated

I’m kinda stunned at how hard this is to answer tbh! Bc like you say... it’s the core. Talked about it for a while & settles on both Women as Wombs by Janice Raymond & Pornography: Men Possessing Women by Andrea Dworkin. Creation of the Patriarchy is a good rec too
-
Neither of those really feel TRULY sufficient though!! Gonna think more on it

I’ve been trying to remember if there was a book that made this idea cohesive for me, and this was the closest one. Super trippy, a lot like poetry, and very good for grokking.pic.twitter.com/VjYLh7VPo3

The Creation of Patriarchy by Gerda Lerner is what you’re seeking. Everything else is either dependent on her scholarship (which in no way devalues it) or is Friedrich Engels, upon whom Lerner built. I got to hear Lerner speak, late in her life, & count myself lucky.
