about

Aphrodite
“At the time, I was reading The End Of Patriarchy, by Robert Jensen and had also been reflecting on how powerful female deities of the past were gradually replaced by male gods. The rise of feminism was also an inspiration here. I was very proud of the opening verse, and so wrote a few more and this is where we ended up.”

lyrics

Aphrodite
Many men say that the lord God he made
A woman from the rib of a man
And there she slaved from the cradle to the grave
A servant to the ego of man - and she said, No
Aphrodite, once a warrior deity
Reconceived through the loins of a man
A protector of life, now an object of desire
A commodity that shapeth did man - and she said, No
Harvey Weinstein lived the American dream
So he did whatever he pleased
2017, he was brought to his knees
By the woman he raped and deceived - and she said, No
The president of the United States
Was a bigot and a misogynist
I’m not even sure who he was fighting for
But he was treating the woman like shit and piss - and she said, No
Many men say that to self-mutilate
Is the only way to reconcile change?
You stifle debate rather than liberate
The woman from her shackles and chains -and she said, No
Patriarchy is a human disease
It’s ostentatious, infectious and wild
What we don’t need in our society
Is the circus being run by the clowns - and she said, No
