Don't know about the patriarchy... but in the use of weapons, yes things have changed since the weapon of choice was a spear. With melee weapons, a man has a huge advantage over a woman due to their size and strength. Guns are a great equalizer. With a little bit of training, any woman with a gun is no longer at a a disadvantage in a fight against a man.

In the past 20+ years, approximately 2 million to 3 million soldiers served in the Global War on Terror. Approximately 10% to 20% of those soldiers were women and all of them were trained in the use of fire arms. Which leads back to my original statement regarding my thoughts on the founding of Gilead: I find it implausible. Are all of these women going to just docilely submit to become property?
