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.
