In a nutshell, the thesis of my next book is that the historical role of the masculine was to deal with external reality (think hunting, building, production, science and technology, etc.). Men created spaces insulated from reality (the family home) in which the role of the feminine was to produce, love and nurture children.

When men were generally shamed in the sixties, this subordination to reality was lost from our culture, and we are now controlled by what I call the Matrisensus, which is the shadow side of the family archetype and driven by women (analogous to the way the Patriarchy is the shadow side of the societal archetype). The Patriarchy substitutes power-seeking for service, and so corrupts masculine culture, while the Matrisensus substitutes virtue-seeking for service, and so corrupts feminine culture. Since the sixties, we have been in the grip of the Matrisensus (a feminine consensus) which is founded in a corruption of the values of family, which are identity (you're either in our family or you're not), safety and fairness. The masculiine values of deference to authority, status based on merit, and group formation (teams, patriotism, etc.) are seen as oppressive in the Matrisensus.
