I brought this idea to a feminist friend of mine, and she totally exploded: mention at your own risk! There are of course many dominant characteristics of womanhood. Here are a few, and how they relate to what I see in the communism of today. Emphasis upon feeling rather than thinking. Though this trait is often a welcomed companion to man's machine-like logic, it is clearly disastrous when the government & media demand that the people act upon their feelings instead of thinkings, since feelings are much easier to manipulate than facts. Everyone gets the same amount of love. It's a beautiful, motherly instinct, but when genuinely applied to society as a whole it results in putting incapable people into positions that they can't handle: as seen in Affirmative Action, or hiring based upon quotas. What about everyone gets the same amount of food - money - resources?. This rule is manageable within a small family, but applying it to an entire country (or world) would require a totalitarian degree of nightmare control. Everybody wins just for trying. What is more gratifying than seeing the mentally challenged kid feel good about themselves? It's great, but what happens to society when this same kid is portrayed to the masses as "the greatest ever"? Does it destroy the motivation of the truly capable, or lower the bar of human potential? Does anyone see any other common traits?

Agreed and have written about this multiple times here. Western civilization ended the minute females got input on the direction of society.
Brilliant analysis, and it goes much deeper than this. Keep digging.
As an aside (is this an aside or a bullseye?)... Judaism began tracing lineages via the mother starting in about 300 AD. So Jews are by definition matriarchal. The origins of Communism. Dig.
Fascinating. Truly.
It also fits with the paganism of the Catholic Church.
All this Mary-worship isn't really about the Mary we think.
It's about the Female.
Some of it is very obvious and very profane. I don't really want to talk about it, but you can see it if you look.
Probably comes from thousands of years ago before humans really understood how babies were made.
They saw where they came out but maybe didn't realize what happened to form them.
They thought that without women, there is no life.
They were half right.
That might also be the hidden reason behind men wanting to become female -- in order to be worshipped.
