Can you see the connection between these primitive women and
the modern and well-educated female shoppers?  No!  Then follow
me.

A women in a supermarket, farmer’s market, or department
store is out there gathering.  It’s a voyage of discovery.  If
she finds a matching accessory for that new dress, she is
overjoyed.  The dress and the accessory will quickly be
forgotten.  They are a mean to an end.  She is imbued by the
incredible legacy of her long gone ancestors.  It’s etched in her
genome.  And she’s is responding to that strong impulse by
shopping.  Her weapons are greenbacks and plastic.  She is no
longer nourishing or healing humanity.  She doesn’t need to.  In
the span of less than 50 years, she has escaped male subjugation.
She is the heiress of a formidable grandmother.  And when she
will find her rightful place in the world, we will all – men,
women, and children – benefit.  For, you see, she always intended
to share her inheritance with all of us.
