Atomic model of patriarchy

Women are massless electrons, who revolve around the father-nucleus, then are transferred from the father's field to the husband's field (Kanyadaan), to form a union (electrovalent bond) between the families (atoms), and then they revolve around the husband-nucleus. Our destinies are decided by the nuclei (males), right?
------------------

Have a careful look at the atomic model of matter, and draw the analogy with patriarchy.

1) Nucleus  =  Male. The nucleus is large, heavy, substantial and important in defining the atom (family).

2) Electron  =  Female. The electrons are extremely light, almost mass-less compared to the nucleus, and are hardly visible compared to the nucleus.

3) Atom  =  Patriarchal family. The father is the head-of-the-house. Our society is male-centered.

4) Several electrons around one nucleus  =  Polygamy.  A nucleus can have several electrons revolving around it, but a single electron cannot revolve around more than one proton. If it does, it is a 'loose electron', just like a 'loose woman'.

5) Electrons revolve around the nucleus  =  a wife's life revolves around the husband.

6) The electron is bound to the nucleus by the latter's electric field  =  the wife is bound to her husband's home/family by matrimony, surname and the traditional society.

7) The nucleus is positively charged  =  Man is resourceful, he can support wife.

8) The electron is negatively charged  =  Women are needy, they need to be supported by males.

9) Number of protons decide the atom's name, irrespective of the number of electrons present  =  males decide the family's identity, irrespective of the number of women present.

10) The proton(s) cannot survive without electron(s) around it = men cannot survive without women as waiters, cooks, housekeepers, cleaners, caregivers, attendants, assistants, bearers, etc.
--------------
Now let us look at an electrovalent bond (Marriage)

Left Nucleus  =  Father
Left Atom = Father's family.

Right Nucleus  =  Husband.
Right Atom = Husband's family.

"Electron is given away"  =  Daughter is given away (Kanyadaan).

 Electrovalent bond  =  Union between the two families.
--------------
Bottomline
The woman is the ultimate/absolute/worst loser in this model.

I support your position and opinion. You have no reason to defend it; history is full of female-oriented societies... the Hawaiian legacy society, for instance - centered on the queen. Mother nature continues to show us her notion of female-oriented social structures through bees and the survival of the hive. If you're getting flak from your social groups, you need to create new ones... (wink)

Until that time. . . Earl J.
