Iranian / Persian Women - Matriarchal Rule
- By Bahram Maskanian
This page is dedicated to the brave Persian / Iranian women whose ancestor’s had wisely rule and ran the Persian Empire, under the Matriarchal system, for over eight thousand (8,000) years. Matriarchy is a social governing system, in which there is gender equality and balance of power, equal representation of women and men 50% - 50% guaranteed.
Under the Matriarchal rule in Persian Empire, women enjoyed a level of gender equality unmatched even to this day! - Female Emperors ruled over Persian Empire. Many ancient Persian cities and states were ruled by women and had their army under control of female commanders to insure loyalty.
The significant role of women in Ancient Persia / Iran both horrified and fascinated the ancient Greek and Roman Patriarchal male-dominated societies. Women in Persia were honored and revered. Persian women often had important positions in the Courthouse, Ministries, Military, State and Treasury Department, and other official administrations.
It is essential for the Persian Women to know and understand their glorious past history because those who do not learn from their true history are doomed to repeated. Iranian / Persian women shall rise again.
The future of Iran / Persia belong to the young Iranian women and men. Young Persian women and men must learn and realize that women were not born as second rate citizens. Persian women enjoyed the highest rank and respect in all of Persian society and were treated as symbols of courage, love and compassion, before the imposition of the Arab barbarism, backward, pernicious and idiotic patriarchal ideology of Islam upon Persia, which destroyed Persian system of Federalism, Equal Rights, Freedom of speech, Freedom of religion and Democracy and replaced those precious principles with barbaric and brutal male sultan rule, coupled with prejudice, murder and slavery.
Since the overthrow of the thriving matriarchal governing system rule of 8,000 years, by the barbaric patriarchal Judaism and its two derivatives: Christianity and Islam, beginning less than 4,000 years ago, the criminally minded political hustlers and the religious mullahs have been exploiting women; mandating the prescribed cruel, dehumanizing and highly barbaric treatment of women in their religious manuals as divine rule of law, ordered by a nonexistent misogynist (man who hates woman) male god. Furthermore, humanity has suffered a huge scientific, creative arts and generally cultural reversal and setback ever since, due to the very same manmade crap.
According to many existing historical facts and evidences, beginning over 12,000 years ago the early Persian Empire has been recognized as a peaceful advanced civilization ruled under matriarchal social governing system, governing Asia, Europe and North Africa, up to little less than 4000 years ago. - Under the matriarchal rule Persian people have developed a flourishing civilization, language, the arts, music, dance, poetry, philosophy, sciences, mathematics, agriculture and much more.
The Persian’s highly rich culture and civilization, or world's “Cradle of civilization and culture”, was centered in Mesopotamia, the capital of Persian Empire for thousands of years. An ancient region of southwest of Asia between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in today's Iraq, up to 1300 years ago, before the barbaric invasion of Arabs; subjugating and force converting people of central Asia to Islam at the point of the sword.
We must never forget that, women are more than half of the world’s population. Women are half of the world’s wisdom, creative talent, brain-power, productive force and energy. But sadly, not included in the day-to-day social, political and economic decision making equations.
Humanity cannot operate intelligently, fairly and democratically in a sustainable fashion, while hopping on one leg, blind in one eye, deaf in one ear, with one hand tied behind our backs, using only half of our brains’ cognitive abilities.
True human rights, female equality, democracy, democratic values and principles, rule of law and economic prosperity requires women participation and will be achieved far faster, better and more effectively if women are equal participants and partners in these efforts.
Iranian / Persian people shall rise again and will overcome barbarism, darkness, fanaticism, and ignorance. Persia / Iran has always been home to those who throughout history have fought for preserving and promoting freedom and equality.
