As surprising as it may seem, the Virgin Mary embodies feminism: Mary breaks all taboos. Why so shocking? Think deeply: it’s as shocking as patriarchy itself.
Patriarchy takes root in perversion. No wonder then that it perverts what unmasks it, the incarnation of its opposite, the very prototype of feminism: the Virgin Mary.

Feminism breaks all taboos. The Virgin Mary breaks all taboos. Let’s analyse it in detail. Let’s start with her virginity.
The fact that she is mother and virgin at the same time can only have one meaning: the refusal of sexuality as it is experienced in patriarchy.
Far from being a myth, the image of the Virgin Mary giving birth to Jesus who undergoes the crucifixion, is the perfect mirror of the fate reserved for women and their sons under patriarchal laws. If the son supports the maternal order and does not follow that of the father. If the son follows the mother’s path, he will be despised, rejected and persecuted to death.
Her conception, announced by a divine being, takes place by celestial intervention. What does all this mean? That there is another dimension: other than the terrestrial. Other than the material dimension: the only one that the patriarchal man admits and of which he claims to be the sole leader. His main concern is not to lose his strong hold on what he considers his exclusive kingdom.
The Virgin pregnant with the work of the spirit, putting aside the material male intervention, that is to say the patriarchal model, brings back the sacred in the woman. The divine had not been driven out by the fault of the woman, as the patriarchal man claims, on the contrary, by the fault of the man.
It is the Woman who, through the Virgin Mary, is recognized as the bridge between transcendence and immanence.
Because it eliminates in a single stroke the almost exclusivity of value, which man attributes to himself on the birth of humans. And by the same token, by extension, on any form of creativity.
Patriarchal perversion consists in making central issues incomprehensible.
The usual path of patriarchy is to distract from the core of a problem. Patriarchy, in fact, favors extremes, and the reason is simple: between two extremes lies reality itself. In this way, the real world, that of the center, is always missing.
It inscribes Mary either in a totally spiritualist world, or in a fully materialist one: in neither of them, Mary can find her true place because she is the conjunction of the two.
In materialism as in spiritualism, Mary disappears. The materialism that we see today reaching its climax has not always been characteristic of patriarchy, far from it. It was, in fact, preceded by a spiritualistic worldview as acerbic as the materialist of today.
In the spiritualist worldview, only the hereafter is of value. This attitude, of course, belittles the world we live in.
Spiritualism completely detaches the Virgin Mary’s image from the world where we live, and makes of her a disembodied figure, accessible only in the beyond. The world of spirit being the only one that matters, being however far away from us, it won’t have any direct influence on our daily life. We draw the conclusion that if Mary, in such a context, is glorified, it is only because she is not reachable.
In the past a purely spiritualistic vision prevailed, while now it is materialism that has the upper hand.
It is the other extreme of patriarchy. The result is the same: by valuing the world in a purely materialistic way, it makes Mary disappear again.
In materialism, the Virgin Mary becomes at most the object of mockery: as virgin and as saint. As virgin because seen as a vestige of the old world.
As holy because the soul has no place where only what is of a material nature has value.
Why is it that only what is touchable and visible has value? Because such is the male sex.
Because She is a Woman.
Because the spirit bears all the characteristics of the interior life: of the female sex, which is par excellence the source of life and is found in the female body. It means within reach of woman, not within reach of man.
Materialism only values what is grasped by your hand and your eyes. This is the kingdom of man, from which woman, whose kingdom is interiority, in literal as in symbolical terms, is again excluded.
The woman, traditionally deprived of what belongs to her: the inner life, either by materialism or by spiritualism, recovers herself through the Virgin Mary.
Mary joins together the material world and the spiritual world. The rupture is eliminated: transcendence and immanence unite. There is no longer any spiritualism and materialism diverging from each other.
She is a woman on earth and at the same time she is the mother of God/Jesus.
When spiritualism alone prevails, if our soul belongs to another world, it has no influence on the body and we have to wait until we reach the beyond.
When materialism prevails the soul has simply disappeared.
Patriarchy is constantly moving between those two extremes to avoid focusing attention on the fact that they are related, the conjunction between the two being woman.
The Virgin Mary is the union of the material and the spiritual, of the body and the spirit, of the here below and the beyond: She carries the divine being in her.
She is therefore the prototype of feminism, she is an authentic woman, not manipulated, not submitted to patriarchal values.
Patriarchy has deprived women of the habit of understanding what goes beyond what is touchable and visible: supreme domain of the masculine. Patriarchy has made us illiterate: unable to understand the language of the mind.
Is this important for the only woman? No, for all of society and for science in the first place: science collapses before the vacuum of quality = the vacuum of feminine values.
In patriarchy, science is forced to impose quantitative limits on itself. Science is forced to falsify its results by removing what does not fit into the patriarchal structure of the mind: the visible and the palpable. This is the so-called objectivity.
What is quantitative represents the smallest part of the real world: reality goes much further. To conform to the patriarchal worldview, science neglects the deepest and most relevant dimensions of reality.
What satisfies the patriarchal dimension is wrongly called “science”. And what goes beyond is said to be nonexistent or inexplicable, which is an absurd claim. If, in fact, this is the case, it is only because we stop there: by static means of explanation, whereas real science: the science of life, uses dynamic means. Life is not static, it is dynamic.
Quantum physics and biology prove the failures of the so-called sciences: canonized sciences, which exclude the very foundation of reality, just as patriarchy excludes the primacy of women and with it the primacy of their values.
Alessandro Fedrizzi and Massimiliano Proietti from Heriot-Watt University say in the following article: “Quantum physics: Our study suggests objective reality doesn’t exist”:
“in a paper recently published in Science Advances, we show that in the micro-world of atoms and particles that is governed by the strange rules of quantum mechanics, two different observers are entitled to their own facts. In other words, according to our best theory of the building blocks of nature itself, facts can actually be subjective.”1
While BBC Earth points out in the article “: “The strange link between the human mind and quantum physics” what follows:
“Nobody understands what consciousness is or how it works. Nobody understands quantum mechanics either. Could that be more than coincidence? “ 2
Quantum physics is only one example, very eloquent indeed, of what is happening. And this is happening in all areas: where the human and the dynamic must have supremacy, there on the contrary their importance is either reduced to almost zero, or totally denied. Why? Because they embody feminine values. Alternative and “natural” medicine is also a good example. It goes to the root of medical problems, is dynamic, looking for the causes, while “orthodox” medicine treats the symptoms: “fights” against them. Natural medicine is considered complementary just like the wife in patriarchy.
It comes from the mistrust of what is not static, of what is alive: dynamic. It comes from the denial of what the eye does not see and the hand does not touch. In short, the absolute supremacy of the object over the subject, a dogma of so-called science, perfectly reflects the treatment reserved in patriarchy for women who are in themselves “Sovereign, untouchable Subjects” because they are the primary source of life.
Has feminism introduced any change? Has it contradicted patriarchy by introducing new values: different from the male patriarchal ones? By no means.
Feminism has taken up the patriarchal point of view, simply overturning its content.
Does the woman have nothing better to offer than to borrow “values” from the patriarchal man? Does the woman have no value by herself? Where is all this taking us? Only violence in all areas. Start with sex.
Traditionally the man “conquers” a woman. Yet, it is in war that one conquers that which opposes resistance to one’s will, the latter being called “enemy”. What has done feminisms so far? Feminism simply took up this tactic and turned the roles upside down by putting the aggressor in place of the victim and vice versa. If the pawns have changed place, their relationship is still the same: aggression.
Traditionally the woman is said to fear sex: who doesn’t fear war and the violence that goes with it? The man is, in fact, supposed to conquer the woman, to wage some kind of war against her, with sex being his end point: the mirror of the whole process.
No real, deep change has ever been made by feminism to emancipate the woman, who has traditionally been deprived of her own sexuality, just as of her own mind.
Feminism thought of liberating her from the burden of traditions by embracing the man’s way: making love as one conducts war.
Aggression is not a sign that a balance has been reached. On the contrary, it is the sign of fear. And fear, we all know, gives way to a chain of linked assaults. This is the world we live in.
Instead of disarming man from his deadly weapons, the “feminist” endorsed those same weapons, thus confirming, rather than denying, man’s claim that patriarchy is unsurpassable. Few adjustments have been made, such as a better distribution of posts: one for a man, one for a woman, while the massacre continues.
The traditional fear that women have of sexuality, turning into aggression, has not disappeared, on the contrary.
The aggressor’s aggression does not destroy the weapon of aggression, which only passes from hand to hand in endless war.
It is by destroying useless aggression that we definitely win the battle.
21st century Feminism wants to bring back to the woman her sexuality, which is based on feminine values, and not on the patriarchal aggression that patriarchy wrongly claims to be the essence of sexuality.
Let’ us first ask the question: “What is the base, the root of patriarchal aggression?” And the answer is: Patriarchal values. “Why?” Because we act according to what we think, not the other way around. It is obviously only by changing patriarchal values and replacing them by feminine ones that feminism will win over the patriarchal man.
Turning its back on the source of life: on woman, patriarchy is more and more interested in distraction rather than in creation, let’s say rather in the creation of what is destructive.
Man cannot create anything natural if he does not submit to woman. Instead of admitting his inferiority in the domain of the generation of life: the model on which every creative act is inspired, he claims that to destroy is to create.
The feminine woman will put back creativity at the center of existence, pushing destructiveness towards the periphery, in its place: as an auxiliary means of defense of life and not as a source of life.
Hard patriarchy seems only to be interested in dismantling what already exists pervaded by the idea that destroying is creating.
We must again ask ourselves a fundamental question:
Why is the man so reluctant to admit the existence of the spirit? Because he hesitates to admit the sexuality of the woman. If patriarchy despises the sexuality of women, it denies the spirit all together.
If the spirit is barely visible, so is the female sex: both, placed in the depths of the woman, make her the source of physical and mental life, both belonging together.
Yet, one might call it psyche, soul, energy, whatever word you want to use, it always refers to a reality that is not visible and tangible, that escapes quantification. This is the realm of women, the realm of quality: what makes women feminine.
By scrutinizing the life of the Virgin Mary we will learn more about woman’s nature and values. Mary: virgin who gives birth to Jesus, breaks the patriarchal taboo according to which the spirit is worth nothing, because what has value must be quantifiable: palpable and visible, just like the male sexual organs.
The vital questions to ask are: why does spiritualism affirm the value of the spirit at a given moment, only to remove access to it by pushing it back into a world that we can only reach after death?
Which is the value behind virginity? Why does the patriarchal man insists on having as spouse a virgin? Because he wants to be sure that the child she bears is his own one. Yet Joseph, Mary’s husband, is not the father of her son. Here a patriarchal taboo is broken.
Who is the father? A spiritual father.
The Virgin Mary breaks an even more stubborn taboo, the one according to which children ought to be brought up respecting the father’s law.
Patriarchal law requires children to turn their backs on their mothers as soon as they are able to use their brains. It aims to detach them from love and tenderness: from the world of women.
You do not become an adult unless you get used to the horror and accept it as a part of everyday life.
All those who do not respect such a law are rebels. No matter how much violence and hypocrisy it entails, it must be accepted and the mother is supposed to push the son to respect the father’s law.
This is the turning point for patriarchy. A spell is imposed on those who do not respect it and yet Marie breaks this taboo: Jesus is brought up not with respect for the patriarchal law, but rather for the consistency of external actions with inner principles, which is the woman’s law.
We can easily observe how we do not see Joseph, the father, interrupting Jesus’ relationship with his mother, to impose his own authority.
Mary has definitely broken here another patriarchal taboo, and not the least: the foundation on which rests all the patriarchal construction.
And this is the reason why Jesus was killed: because no one has the right to transgress the patriarchal law with impunity.
Law that Mary was the first to transgress by giving birth to Jesus.
Christianity thus recognizes the divinity of Mary, true mother of God, while Joseph, her husband, is not the father.
