“The central objective in decolonising the African mind is to overthrow the authority which alien traditions exercise over the African. This demands the dismantling of white supremacist beliefs, and the structures which uphold them, in every area of African life. It must be stressed, however, that decolonisation does not mean ignorance of foreign traditions; it simply means denial of their authority and withdrawal of allegiance from them.”
Chinweizu Ibekwe

What is your problem with Chinweizu’s “The Anatomy of Female Power”.
How was he wrong? How do women not have power?
If you would provide a page numbers & quotes from the book you disagree with that would be appreciated.
Also provide sources backing your antithesis to his argument.
It's been about 20 years since I read that book; I was a fun read but I didn't take it's claims seriously. I tell you what; I'll reread the text and do a review video on it. Subscribe to my YouTube & you'll get a notification when I'm done.

Para os europeus, a sensação de uma tremenda e desconcertante mudança de perspectiva na relação entre Ocidente e nĂŁo Ocidente era inteiramente nova, desconhecida tanto na Renascença europeia quanto na “descoberta” do Oriente, trĂŞs sĂ©culos mais tarde. Pense-se nas diferenças entre a recuperação e edição dos clássicos gregos com Poliziano, na dĂ©cada de 1460, ou Bopp e Schlegel lendo gramáticos sânscritos na dĂ©cada de 1810, e um orientalista ou politicĂłlogo francĂŞs lendo Fanon durante a Guerra da ArgĂ©lia em 1961, ou os Discours sur le colonialisme [Discurso sobre o colonialismo], de CĂ©saire, quando surgiram em 1955, logo apĂłs a derrota dos franceses em Dien Bien Phu. O pobre sujeito nĂŁo sĂł está lendo nativos que combatem contra seu exĂ©rcito, o que nunca acontecera com seus predecessores, como ainda está lendo um texto na lĂngua de Bossuet e Chateaubriand, recorrendo a conceitos de Hegel, Marx e Freud para incriminar a prĂłpria civilização que os gerou. Fanon vai ainda mais alĂ©m ao inverter o paradigma atĂ© entĂŁo aceito, segundo o qual a Europa proporcionou modernidade Ă s colĂ´nias, afirmando, pelo contrário, que nĂŁo sĂł “o bem-estar e o progresso da Europa […] [foram] construĂdos com o suor e o cadáver de negros, árabes, indianos e amarelos”, mas tambĂ©m “a Europa Ă© literalmente a criação do Terceiro Mundo”, acusação retomada por Walter Rodney, Chinweizu e outros. Para concluir esse absurdo reordenamento das coisas, encontramos Sartre ecoando Fanon (e nĂŁo vice-versa), ao dizer: “NĂŁo há nada mais coerente do que um humanismo racista, visto que o europeu sĂł foi capaz de se tornar homem gerando escravos e monstros”.

'Ride the American Wave'Â is an adaptation of Hilaire Belloc's famous couplet about the Maxim gun (to quote the great African historian Chinweizu):
Whatever happens, we have got
The Atom Bomb, and they have not.

*SLAVERY OF MEN BY WOMEN*
Every Man irrespective of who they are must read the book by a German writer Esther Villar In her book "The Manipulated Man"
This book has caused outrage and *hostile criticism* from women, it explains how women since the earliest times have manipulated men and turned them into their slaves, they have *pretended* to be the oppressed sex while in the real sense they are the oppressors.
She explains how a woman manipulates a man skillfully by steps like *courtship* and finally *marriage* , hence the saying “ *a man chases a woman until SHE catches him”* .
In her book she explains how the man is *tricked* to care for the woman all his life and her offspring.
He rolls the stone like *Sisyphus* and in turn gets rewarded by a few minutes of sexual pleasure.
We can, by observing Esther Villars assertions that a man is a slave of his desires and the woman uses and has used it for thousands of years as a stick and carrot to keep the man chasing vanity and commit his life to serving her.
She goes ahead to explain the *rivalry of women* , how each woman feels the powerful urge and need to own a male for herself.
Like a *slave owner* she detests any move the man would make to offer his services to another woman. She uses all means to keep the man to herself and her offspring alone.
Esther Villar's sentiments are captured by Nigerian Poet, critic and writer, Chinweizu Ibekwe in his book, “The Anatomy of Female Power” (AFP) and Will Farrel's, “The Predatory Female”.
They all push the theory that all societies are matriarchal and not patriarchal as we are pushed and forced to believe. *Matriarchy has ruled not through brawn but wits and tricks;* women feigning weakness to be protected etc. Thus the male becomes the most exploited sex in human history, (in wars the man is always ready to die for the woman; he has been trained to do that).
Chinweizu calls the idea of *dating* and *courtship* , *training* , like that of a horse. It is during this time that a woman having kept the man on a leash by denying him sex and getting him addicted to her by false charms, trains and breaks him to whatever she wants him to become.
The marriage celebration becomes a celebration for the *woman and her friends,* and they all congratulate her for having succeeded in getting herself a *slave* .
A man on that *wedding* day waves goodbye to his independence and his coalition of males and commits himself to a *Sisyphean* life, rolling the stone, an act he cannot abandon having *society* and the *government* checking on him and always ready to *jail* , *shame* or *exile* him for absconding his duties of slavery.
Thus the government and society helps the woman in keeping her *slave*(man) in check.
Chinweizu gives a narration of how women are trained by older matriarchs to *tame* men. He explains how a man is trained to rely on women by his own mother.
A man is *shamed for cooking* for himself and other domestic chores by his *own mother* who is an agent of the global matriarchal rule.
By getting the man to hate *domestic* works and having it enforced by culture which warns men against going into the kitchen, doing *laundry* etc.
The mother trains his son for the woman who will captivate him and when the time comes she takes hold of the man's stomach and by getting the man addicted to her body she holds him by the two, in *bed* and in the *kitchen* .
With those two weapons she manipulates the man and turns him into her plaything.
In the “Myth of the Male Power”, Esther Villar's “A Man's Right to the Other Woman”; “The Polygamous Sex”, the authors of those books challenge the narrative that men oppress women, and by detailed research across African, Western and Eastern both in ancient and modern societies, the authors unravel the hidden power of the ruthless matriarchal power that rules the world.
Also Helen E. Fisher did anthropological research of ancient human societies and wrote the book "The Sex Contract, The evolution of human behaviour" 1982. She too came to the conclusion that Marriage is a selfish creation of a Woman, where she uses sex to manipulate a man to take care of her and her offspring. Other male animals do not carry the same burden and responsibility.
*Presidents* , *Emperors* and *Kings* are all puppets of the matriarchy forces that rule the World by pulling the strings from behind the curtains.
A noble piece which is a must read for every Man under the globe...

“What kind of economic order did they create to extract the continent’s resources for the benefit of Europe?” “One objective of the invasion had been to enable Europeans to get behind African middlemen and trade directly in the hinterland. Once they did so, they either killed off African trade entirely and substituted slavery, as in the French and Belgian Congos, or they brought African trade under the strict control of European monopolies. For instance, when the Royal Niger Company established its authority over the Delta hinterland, it introduced obstructive measures to deprive the coastal African of the hinterland trade. Its action against the city-state of Brass is a case in point. Though Brass lay outside the company’s territory, Brassmen, who ventured into company territory, areas they had traditionally traded in, were required to pay fifty pounds a year for each market they traded in; another one hundred pounds a year for each if they traded in spirits, the very basis of their traditional trade; and a miscellaneous assortment of other company duties. But the company went beyond such restraining terms to try to starve Brass of trade in its own ports by requiring that all commodities traded in its territory pass through the company’s port at Akassa. It is not surprising therefore that Brass reacted to such strangulation of its trade by raiding Akassa and destroying the company’s stores in 1895. Of course, with such a fine pretext, British consular forces lost little time in attacking Brass and capturing its capital.”

“When Europe pioneered industrial capitalism, her demands upon the resources of the world increased tremendously. In addition to obtaining spices for her tables and manpower for her mines and plantations in the Americas, Europe set out to seize for her factories the mineral and agricultural resources of all the world. Her need to take African manpower to the Americas declined. She needed instead to put African labor to work in Africa, digging up for her the riches of African mines. The trading companies that had for centuries bought and sold on Africa’s coast were found inadequate for seizing and carting off the raw materials of the African hinterland. Europe now felt a need to export her power into Africa’s interior to reorganize the farms, mines and markets for Europe’s greater profit. Her adventurers banded together, obtained charters from their national governments, and came to seize the African markets from the African middlemen with whom for centuries Europe had been content to trade.” Chinweizu “The West and the Rest of Us: White Predators, Black Slavers and the African Elite” Page 35 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxr22BaDpW6/?igshid=29jtv00j27vm

The object of woman's existence is not to war with man, or allow man to war with her, but simply to conquer him and hold him in subservience without so much as a threat or a blow. Clever women always do this; clever women have always done it.

I'm thinking of rereading Chinweizu's Anatomy of Female Power. It really touched me the first time around, reinforcing the idea by a male psychologist that "it is women that men fear most of all." Have you read this book? What did you think of it? https://www.instagram.com/p/CFMYMmYD9IE/?igshid=o6rffwqpm7tz

Education for Liberation in Black Africa By Chinweizu © Chinweizu, 2010 Paper presented at the Codesria Conference on 50 years of African independence, Legon, September 2010 Some questions to ponder 7] We have talked much about unity but done little to forge it. How do you unite people? What kind of education forges a sense of one-ness in a population? According to Cheikh Anta Diop, you give them a shared history, a shared culture, a shared language and values. If you don’t do that, you can put them under one government and they’ll still be disunited. Look at Sudan. It is under one government, but its different sections have been fighting to get away, some for more than 50 years. Why? Though all are black, some accept they are culturally African; others deny they are African and claim they are Arabs, because they have imbibed Arab culture. Hence there is no proper cultural basis for unity in Sudan. In addition to a shared culture, you give them a shared historical project working together at which gives them a feeling that they are one team.

In new occasions, patio covers have been used by few people to build extended porches in an spot that would normally be useless. In a globe the place it is really increasingly attainable for individuals to personalize” news choices and prohibit their accessibility to news stories of own relevance and desire, it is important to study the romance concerning the self-relevance of stories and the possible influence (or lack of influence) of social media web-sites on the perceived effects of relevant stories.
