A Man’s World

Abstract

A s God, so Mammon. Man’s wish to control woman arose out of his desire to cheat death by founding a male line. Establishing the importance of that line by the accumulation of power and property, he increased his own importance. Ironically, it was through the accumulation of property, the ability to acquire wealth, that his domination—in the modern sense that we understand through our more recent history—was re-established and confirmed after God lost his immediacy and became less real.
