Woman and Nature by Susan Griffin

Text ID:

It is declared then that man is an animal, and he is the most perfect animal.
That according to the laws of survival, a creature wills himself and his species to perfection.
(“What was her womanhood,” it is written, “that it could stand against the energy of his manly will.”)
That “the stronger and the better equipped… eat the weaker and … the larger species devour the smaller.”
And it is stated that if women were not meant to be dominated by men, they would not have been created weaker.
