"The Bible of Male Inferiority: Digging the Taproot of Patriarchy, up to Global Warming" explores the origins of patriarchy, proposing that male inferiority, not superiority, is the core driver of patriarchal systems. Through historical and cultural analysis, the book shows how male insecurity led to the establishment of male dominance in society, shaping religion, politics, and law. Examining ancient texts like the Epic of Gilgamesh and figures like Lilith and Pandora reveals how these narratives were manipulated to justify male supremacy.
The book also delves into the psychological underpinnings of male dominance, drawing on the theory of learned helplessness and its impact on women. It contrasts patriarchal societies with matriarchal ones, such as the Minoans, which promoted equality and environmental harmony.
In modern times, the book connects patriarchy to capitalism, warfare, and environmental degradation, arguing that global warming is a direct consequence of male inferiority. The patriarchal drive for dominance over nature and prioritization of profit over sustainability are key factors contributing to the environmental crisis.
The work calls for a radical shift in thinking, urging the dismantling of patriarchal systems and embracing inclusive, egalitarian models of society and environmental stewardship. By addressing the root cause of male inferiority, the book argues, humanity can achieve not only gender equality but also the survival of the planet. The book offers a transformative vision for a more sustainable future by combining historical research, psychology, and environmental advocacy.
