I did not mean to “downplay the importance of men.” Rather I was trying to demonstrate the difference between the roles men and women have traditionally played in society, by stating that women were at the center of the family and the church, rather than at the head, which is where men have traditionally been.
But feminism is now trying to place women at the head of everything, which is a role they are not particularly well suited at playing, as evidenced by the fact that studies show that even women do not want to work for female bosses. But it also means there is no one to occupy the center, or if you prefer the heart of our world and its institutions. And that may help explain why we, as a society, are a lot less centered and united, and generally a lot more hateful and partisan than we have been in the past.
The reason why we are so much more hateful and partisan than in the past is because women are at the center of life right now.
No, women shouldn't be at the center. Women aren't the center of anything.
The world shouldn't be set up to prioritize women. Women need to be seriously sidelined in the world that we live in.
The distinction you make between the head and the center sound like new agey mumbo jumbo.
In the past, women were prioritized less, and men were prioritized more relative to their current positions. They were both pretty much equally prioritized in their respective domains. Women were less of the center than they are now, and it was for the better.

Again, disagree.
