They [intellectuals] coined most of the slogans that guided the butcheries of Bolshevism, Fascism, and Nazism.

Obviously, everything has always been defined by the dominant ideology. But the dominant ideology has been able to accept women's literature as well as men's literature. I would say that women have been hindered from creating for a variety of reasons, as Virginia Woolf so admirably explained in A Room of One's Own.

The superior man governs men, according to their nature, with what is proper to them, and as soon as they change what is wrong, he stops.

Elohim was, in logical terminology, the genus of which ghosts, Chemosh, Dagon, Baal, and Jahveh were species. The Israelite believed Jahveh to be immeasurably superior to all other kinds of Elohim.
