Is it time for a global matriarchy? Elements of eco-feminism fascinate me (particularly the notion of women's bodies as an exploitable resource), but the discriminatory power implied is surely a danger to prospects of gender equality.
"Historically [man, woman and nature] have been unequally valorized. In particular, the interests of male dominated societies have been served by managing women's bodies as a 'natural resource.' That meant positioning the female sex 'somewhere between' men and nature in the order of things." Ariel Salleh, Austrian sociologist and eco-feminist.
