If you're female and part of the Goddess Movement, get ready to rock 'n roll, sister! Barbara Walker thinks it's Goddess women who will, in the end, rescue the human race:
“Only women who are enabled to sense a female divinity within their own spirit can bring about the profound changes that need to be made if humanity is to last much longer as one of earth’s life forms. Male aggression in the wild is created by nature to sort out the stronger healthier males, to improve the breed…. Male aggression is civilized society is a useless anomaly…. The survival of any species depends on the nurturing behavior of its females, not the aggressive behavior of its males. And even animals know better than our patriarchal gods, for among animals the males do not usually attack females or their young.” Barbara Walker, p. 81, Restoring the Goddess: Equal Rites for Modern Women, Prometheus, 2000.
