The patriarchal phase of human history is passing away, and we have to make a choice. The choice is between solidarity and sustainability, or domination and self-destruction. It is time for a cultural revolution, from patriarchal domination to sustainable solidarity. Speak up. Practice nonviolence. Stop buying nonessential things. Protest peacefully.
