The edifice of feminist theory stands on the myth of patriarchal oppression. In dispensing with this myth, Stephen Jarosek shows that feminism is a bankrupt ideology that has never been substantiated. He factors in emerging developments in the life and cognitive sciences, to show that women never were the helpless victims as promulgated in the feminist narrative. New interpretations in culture, meaning, neural plasticity and the mind-body problem provide perspectives that established life-science narratives cannot. These developments shed a fresh light on women’s agency, and the important part that women have always played in cultural destiny.
In the context of an emerging synthesis in the life sciences, the author demonstrates that feminist narratives are not impartial descriptions of reality as it is, but solipsistic projections of feminists’ own sexism. He describes the different ways in which Matriarchy and Patriarchy contribute to cultural evolution. Feminism has disrupted the balance, and has wrought considerable damage to everything that our cultures stood for. As we bear witness to society in decay, we see that behind it all, it was feminism and its industries occupying the driver’s seat.

O autorze
Stephen Jarosek began questioning cultural differences in his teens, when he first began to wonder why people believe the things they do, and why people from different cultures believe different things. But he found theories about culture lacking. His first degree in engineering reflects his analytical approach, from first principles. The engineer asks, 'Will this bridge stand?’ He asks, 'Does this theory hang together?’ He applies his engineer’s rigor to his published research in semiotics, culture and the life sciences. Questioning why people from different cultures believe different things would invariably bring Stephen to question why men and women believe different things. His book, Tyrants of Matriarchy, is a practical, interdisciplinary application of theories in the cognitive and life sciences, directed at a general readership, with particular emphasis on gender roles. He thus establishes a framework for interpreting matriarchy and patriarchy within the context of biology and culture, in non-technical language that is easy to understand.
