Die Schlüsselfrage dieses Buches ist: Was brauchen wir, um stabile und gerechte menschliche Gemeinschaften zu schaffen, die ein gutes Leben im Austausch mit und Respekt vor der Erde ermöglichen? Robert Jensens Antwort ist Feminismus und Patriarchatskritik. Er ruft uns auf, mit radikalfeministischen Argumenten gegen institutionalisierte männliche Dominanz zu protestieren. Dazu gehört eine rigorose Ablehnung der Idee, dass Männer das Recht hätten, Sexualität und Reproduktion von Frauen zu kontrollieren, sowie die Aufforderung, Gewalt, auf der das patriarchale System basiert, grundsätzlich abzulehnen. Das Ende des Patriarchats zeigt auf, wie eine radikalfeministische Theorie und Praxis uns helfen kann, das Ziel einer gerechten und lebenswerten Gesellschaft zu erreichen.
