Nice straw man

There are many examples of Armed Freedom in nature. Some snakes and frogs have poison. They live free, doing what they will. However, they are always ready to defend themselves. Any insect or animal that has the fight instinct is an example of Armed Freedom.

Things get complicated when dealing with humans. While some martial artists are deadly weapons, the majority of humanity is a soft bag of bones. So we developed weapons. To say that a gun is bad makes about as much sense as saying a cat shouldn't have claws. Armed Freedom applies to the individual as well as the state.

Your straw man description of patrist and matrist societies is either intellectual dishonest or lazy. (Sarcasm on) You forgot to include that patrists love slavery and are racists, while matrists believe in equality and diversity. (Sarcasm off)

In simple terms, patrist is win-lose, while matrist is lose-win.

Men compete. I look after myself and you look after yourself and we'll all be ok.

Women cooperate. I look after you and you look after me and we'll all be ok.

Mix the two together and you either end up with win-win or lose-lose.
