Abstract

In the tradition of the Bielefeld approach (subsistence theory), Miriam Irene Tazi-Preve attempts to substantiate the claim that the Patriarchy is attempting to appropriate female parity and to exchange feminine corporeal fecundity with masculine mental creativity. She sees an escape from patriarchal exploitation in the turn towards or return to Matriarchy. The author’s arguments are scientifically chaotic in her attempt to hermetically seal herself off from critique, rendering a serious engagement with her thesis impossible.
