All men benefit from their organized domination of the community of women.

“Patriarchal law, often called “the Will of God,” is in fact a wholly secular cynical legal system designed purposely to maintain male power through institutional control of female energy. Under patriarchal legal, religious, and economic-social systems, some men dominate others. But all men benefit from their organized domination of the community of women.

Patriarchy breaks up the female collective by forcibly capturing and imprisoning each woman’s female energy within the patrilocal family. Within this isolation cell, each woman’s creative energy becomes servant energy, directed and owned by men.” –Monica Sjoo & Barbara Mor, The Great Cosmic Mother
