Traditionally, it is believed that science, arts, astronomy, calendar, construction of buildings and cities etc. were invented by men. However, this is not the case. Patriarchy arose after all of the above were created, and they were created by women. The violent male order had it all ready for use – arts, science, cities, human settlements, architecture, religious systems of matriarchal communities. Since it was the woman who was responsible for the welfare of her children (female and male), the woman created everything in order to achieve it.

Patriarchal religions developed on the remains of women's religions, perverted by men; cities under the patriarchy were built on the basis of already existing women's knowledge of construction. Calendar, chronology, astronomy — all this was invented by women, and then appropriated by men. By the way, men are still actively engaged in stealing women's achievements. One of the well-known phenomena is the Matilda effect. Just as barbarian tribes built their civilizations on the ashes of the Roman Empire, the same way, men would build patriarchy on the foundation of a defeated female world. The system of law, scientific and philosophical knowledge on which Europe grew up is the result of the works of the Greco-Roman civilization. Similarly, all the achievements of men are actually those of women.

A man is not a subject, he is not independent, he is part of a woman, he is her child, always in the background. A man does not even have his own identity. Everything that a man could invent about himself comes from a woman. Masculinity, even in its most toxic manifestations, is an opposition to a woman.

The whole male self is built on the foundation: "I am not a woman." The male identity is pretentious, glamorous, deliberate, designed to immediately catch the eye; he wants everyone to see and know that he is not a woman. Despite this, a man would like to be a woman, he envies her, and he is afraid to admit that his dream is unattainable. If you cannot achieve what you want, defile it. This is exactly what men did to women.

No matter how much a man wanted to separate from a woman, he has failed to do so. Even on an existential level, everything he does revolves around a woman. Having no identity of his own, he formed it on the basis of contrasting himself with his creator. Besides, a man did not do it with a real woman, but with a fictional one, the one he wanted to believe in.

He is not a woman - he is physically strong (and a woman, according to his idea, is physically weak).
He is not a woman - he gets more beautiful with age (and a woman gets old when she turns 20, as he convinces everyone).
He is not a woman - he is creative (this trait is uncharacteristic of a woman, that's how a man lies to himself).
He is not a woman - he has the right brain, the right muscles, good legs, the right lung volume, the right center of gravity, and so on (and the female body is wrong from top to bottom, inside and out).
He is not a woman - he does not need to give birth (unlike a woman, he is supposedly free).
He is not a woman - he does not menstruate (after all, periods are filth, as he convinces himself).

Patriarchy is hostile to women, and it may seem that it is built around men, that it is a social system where everything is about men, everything is done in their name, for their glory. But everything in the patriarchy is built not just for men, but, above all, against women. And that says a lot. Not only about men's fear of women, but also about how strong women are. Men have to use the most perverse and terrible practices to restrain women. Without violence, male power is impossible.

Patriarchy is everything looted by men. Men do not produce anything, they do not need to: a man cannot have children, he is not interested in the future, his well-being, justice. And men are so poor and dependent on women that they do not even have their own unique identity.
