How Men Took Power Over Women and Why This Is Now Coming to an End

In nature, females control access to sex. Biology refers to this as female choice. This was also true for humans until the advent of settled life. However, men then created a civilization that excluded women. Now, women are slowly returning to their natural strength. Ancient gender relations are finally in motion. The time has come to rethink the coexistence of women and men.

Where and when did gender inequality begin? This book will spark debate and discussion! That's a good thing, as it means many people will have to read it!

Female choice is a technical term from biology that describes the reproductive strategy of most living beings. In this context, males must demonstrate a performance to mate with a female. For the female, reproduction is much more demanding. She is selective, while he is not. He focuses on quantity, she on quality. He competes, she decides. However, throughout the history of our civilization, women have had little choice. With the advent of agriculture, people settled down, and women were pushed from the public sphere into the private home. Only in the very recent evolutionary past have women been able to shape the world. Now, the male order is beginning to falter. Male resistance, sometimes violent, is forming everywhere. What now? Meike Stoverock cleverly, provocatively, and vividly describes not only where humanity took a wrong turn over 10,000 years ago but also what needs to change for men and women to have a shared future.
