"My theory of MOTHERISM which is founded on #traditional #African #cosmology sees #gender inequality as a weapon of divide and rule introduced into #Africa by the political and religious colonizers of #Europe and #Arabia to weaken and destabilize the African social and domestic environment, for the woman was traditionally the backbone of all #traditional African societies. Therefore to conquer Africa, the colonizers had to first depose the woman from all the sectors where she held away as the counterpart/partner of the male e.g. Governance,
economy, agriculture, leadership and priesthood."
.
The African woman once enjoyed a dual-sex system of governance where both men and women had equal in leadership and decision making.
.
"Motherism is based on the traditional African complimentarity of the sexes, realizing that men and women are not equals, but opposites."
