Are there English translations available? I will definitely like to read these.
Although, I find it going too easy on patriarchy.
In oppressive patriarchies, women are:
- servants during the day doing the cooking, cleaning, child-bearing, washing, taking care of the previous generation, etc.
- prostitutes during the night.
