Gender Relations for an Integral Ecology "The environment, after all, is where we all meet, where we all have a mutual interest. It is one thing that all of us share. It is not only a mirror of ourselves, but a focusing lens on what we can become." (Lady Bird Johnson, 1912-2007) Patriarchy is to gender what whiteness is to race. But personal gender digs deeper than race, so patriarchy is even more ingrained than racism; yet it is crumbling — a sign of the times.

Patriarchal culture? A mix of both? Compare population growth in more developed and less developed countries. Click the right arrow to see the trends unfolding since the Industrial Revolution.
