Imagine what economic theory would look like if the basic unit of behavioral modelling wasn't an abstract, bourgeois male individual but a mother.

Ah, but in order for that to happen bourgeois males - as well as women who have internalized their patriarchal prejudices – would have to stop laughing at the idea.

Ah, but for that to happen requires revolutionary restructuring of society, & for THAT to happen, white bourgeois first-world "feminists" would have to stop supporting the structures and forces (like the Democratic Party) that impel war, genocide and ecocide. Not likely, eh MW?

We don't need to wait for them to stop laughing. We just need to create that society. And our model can be the Gantowisas of the Iroquois.

We just need to present it in a natural way, rather than framing it as a pop-culture, religio-political argument which automatically sounds preachy. This isn't easy! But it's definitely possible. I do my best.
