I recently picked up a cheap book about the Goddess theory (partly as a starting place for further research on ancient ideas of gender, partly to stretch my BS detector) but I never got beyond the second chapter. Why? Because Catalhuyuk *freaks me the fuck out*. If that's our ideal ancient matriarchal culture, I want to go back to feudal Europe instead plz. *shiver*
(And early feudal Europe, of course, wasn't nearly as male-dominated as the traditional narrative makes out anyway...)
