Read moreDisbanding the Patriarchy: Sex Policy and Power presents evidence from Australia, Europe, India, the UK, and the USA, revealing the calculated efforts to impede progress, dictated by oligarchs, the media, religious dogmas, and androcentric leaders. Patriarchal forces are deliberately accelerating the regression of equality. The decline of democracy and human rights threaten health services, political frameworks, financial stability, and education systems.
Celebrating the remarkable triumphs of activists, feminists, and advocates, their strength, courage, and perseverance exemplifies how united successes are possible. The four feminist waves, along with the current tsunami, are recognised as powerful demonstrations of collective voices disrupting corruption and exposing the reality that wealth does not equate to intelligence or capacity.
Incorporating academic research, personal experiences, and a practical toolkit in every chapter, this book presents a comprehensive assessment of both contemporary and prescriptive norms that suppress autonomy, marginalise the majority, and distort reality. Readers will gain a critical, evidence-based understanding of the barriers to equality, alongside practical strategies to disband phallocentric principles and influence the implementation of sustainable, meaningful social reforms. Proportionate representation, reinforced by inclusive leadership, has been proven to deliver financial prosperity, effective governance, and social advancement, presenting a compelling case for disbanding unacceptable power structures in the pursuit of a fairer and more balanced world.
For those who wear one or many hats — feminists, policymakers, educators, caregivers, researchers, advocates, activists, journalists, students, academics, lawyers, jurists, healthcare professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, artists, NGOs, and politicians — note the United Nations calculates that at the current rate, achieving legal parity could take another 286 years. This alarming reality serves as a call to action, reminding the reader that transformative positive developments are within reach. Neutralising regression demands deliberate, sustained, and collective efforts to transform suppression into equal justice — one decisive action at a time.
