  • It’s a book that focuses on the effects on patriarchial violence on the ability for men (and women) to feel, and therefore love and experience joy. It examines the role of patriarchy in parenting, family life, romantic and sexual relationships, and even on feminism. How it creates patriarchal men and women. How the promises of patriarchy do not meet expectations and ultimately lead to anger, resentment, violence both outwardly towards society, domestically, and internally through anger, suffering and depression.

    It has some really poignant observations that make me go “whoa” and it is one of those books that doesn’t hesitate to name the true culprit of our broken society. It even offers ways of rethinking work, but even “unemployment”.

    Great great book.







  • The Democratic Republic of Afghanistan (DRA),[a] renamed the Republic of Afghanistan[b] in 1987, was the Afghan state during the one-party rule of the People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) from 1978 to 1992. It relied heavily on assistance from the Soviet Union for most of its existence, especially during the Soviet–Afghan War.

    The PDPA came to power through the Saur Revolution, which ousted the regime of the unelected autocrat Mohammed Daoud Khan; he was succeeded by Nur Muhammad Taraki as the head of state and government on 30 April 1978.[3] Taraki and Hafizullah Amin, the organizer of the Saur Revolution, introduced several contentious reforms during their rule, such as land and marriage reforms and an enforced policy of de-Islamization alongside the promotion of socialism.[4]

    Education During communist rule, the PDPA government reformed the education system; education was stressed for both sexes, and widespread literacy programmes were set up.[149] By 1988, women made up 40 percent of the doctors and 60 percent of the teachers at Kabul University; 440,000 female students were enrolled in different educational institutions and 80,000 more in literacy programs.[150] In addition to introducing mass literacy campaigns for women and men, the PDPA agenda included: massive land reform program; the abolition of bride price; and raising the marriage age to 16 for girls and to 18 for boys.
