The narratives that we live by are highly informed by religious indoctrination When that indoctrination is patriarchal in nature the likelihood for conflict arises as patriarchy and matriarchy are perceived as two opposing extremes That conflict is further exacerbated when those who do not fit the image of a God defined by patriarchal men are seen as others outside the auspices of Gods original creation Oppression that gives way to violence is often the consequence as patriarchy endeavors to maintain its claim of supremacy All too often the maintenance of power by the use of male imagery and language for the divine calls for the denial and suppression of feminine imagery and agency The quest to maintain patriarchal power in the church manifests itself in every sector of society as women are subjected to all manners of violence so that men can continue to make God in their image A radical reimaging of the Divine that proceeds from an inclusive consciousness is the first place to start in creating a society where patriarchy ceases to eclipse humanity

Our age is obsessed by the idea of conspiracy We see it everywherefrom Pearl Harbor to 911 from the assassination of Kennedy to the death of Diana In this age of terrorism we live in the role of conspiracy is a serious oneone that can fuel radical or fringe elements to violence For awardwinning journalist David Aaronovitch there came a time when he started to see a pattern among these inflammatory theories He found that these theories used similarly murky methods with which to insinuate their claims they linked themselves to the supposed conspiracies of the past it happened then so it can happen now they carefully manipulated their evidence to hide its holes and they relied on the authority of dubious academic sources Most important they elevated their believers to membership of an elitea group of people able to see beyond lies to a higher reality But why believe something that entails stretching the bounds of probability so far Surely it is more likely that men did actually land on the moon in 1969 than that thousands of people were enlisted to fabricate an elaborate hoax In this entertaining and enlightening bookaimed at providing ammunition for those who have found themselves at the wrong end of a conversation about moon landings or the twin towersAaronovitch carefully probes and explodes a dozen of the major conspiracy theories In doing so he examines why people believe them and makes an argument for a true skepticismone based on a thorough knowledge of history and a strong dose of common sense

Have men really been engaged in a centuriesold conspiracy to exploit and oppress women Have the essential differences between men and women really been erased Have men now become unnecessary Are they good for anything at all In Is There Anything Good About Men Roy Baumeister offers provocative answers to these and many other questions about the current state of manhood in America Baumeister argues that relations between men and women are now and have always been more cooperative than antagonistic that men and women are different in basic ways and that successful cultures capitalize on these differences to outperform rival cultures Amongst our ancestorsas with many other speciesonly the alpha males were able to reproduce leading them to take more risks and to exhibit more aggressive and protective behaviors than women whose evolutionary strategies required a different set of behaviors Whereas women favor and excel at onetoone intimate relationships men compete with one another and build larger organizations and social networks from which culture grows But cultures in turn exploit men by insisting that their role is to achieve and produce to provide for others and if necessary to sacrifice themselves Baumeister shows that while men have greatly benefited from the culture they have created they have also suffered because of it Men may dominate the upper echelons of business and politics but far more men than women die in workrelated accidents are incarcerated or are killed in battlefacts nearly always left out of current gender debates Engagingly written brilliantly argued and based on evidence from a wide range of disciplines Is There Anything Good About Men offers a new and far more balanced view of gender relations
