But we do not have to have sex with men to perpetuate the species. (I plan on writing about this soon).

When we look at the other animals, we can see the biological arrangements they’ve developed come not just from environmental conditions, but from actual political agreements. (The female mantis eating the male, for example, shows how political and biological arrangement coalesce). Meaning we human females — The Makers and Admins of the Species — currently have this shitty arrangement with human males because unfortunately, most females have accepted it — both politically and biologically.

Acceptance goes down to the biological level. For example, genetic imprinting by men blocks our ability to do parthenogenesis (males shut down and “replace” about 2 of our genes — a LOT of conflict between males and females takes place genetically and chemically under out skin! — it’s astonishing!) — but our bodies have not yet figured out how to counter this block. Yet we women have the potential to make the species entirely female. And we carry that potential with us everywhere.

Men of course keep most women in a state of non-consciousness, largely by what you describe so clearly and devastatingly here, RK– and it is that non-consciousness that has to change before we can move into new biological arrangements. Consciousness feeds the political agreements which feed the biological arrangements, which reflect the consciousness and political agreements. They feed each other. The ability to transform — This is what being alive means. Life is transformation over time. Men want us to think life is static, set, fixed — that the entire biological arrangement currently accepted by women is static set fixed — — — but nothing could be further from the truth.
