Introduction: Reclaiming the Narrative

The successful narrative warfare that has twisted capitalism has hidden the real structure people are living under: patriarchy. True capitalism decentralizes wealth and power, benefiting women most because we create the majority of value in the world. Patriarchy despises this reality. Women are commoditized under patriarchy, treated as objects, and erased from ownership and power. This is the true destructive force. Mislabeling capitalism as the enemy allows patriarchy to persist. To reclaim our power, we must define patriarchy clearly and distinguish it from genuine capitalism.

Historical Context: From Feudalism to Capitalism

Before markets, wealth and power were monopolized by hereditary rulers, nobles, and the landed aristocracy. Status and economic control derived from land, lineage, and title, not labor or creativity. Common people produced value through toil but rarely accessed the rewards.

Change began with the rise of commerce and towns in medieval Europe. Merchants, artisans, and traders reinvested, traded across regions, and gradually undermined feudal power. A new class, the bourgeoisie, emerged — traders, craftsmen, and financiers challenging the old order through private enterprise, trade, and wage labor.

The Commercial Revolution (11th–18th centuries) accelerated this shift:

• Expansion of trade within Europe and across the globe.
• Innovations in banking, credit, and investment enabled capital to flow and risks to be shared.
• Chartered or joint-stock companies, like the Dutch East India Company (VOC, 1602) and the British East India Company (1600), pooled investor capital for large-scale ventures.

These developments eroded aristocratic monopoly and created new classes of investors, entrepreneurs, laborers, and consumers. Economic power began shifting from birthright to contribution. Prosperity grew, enabling urban middle classes and paving the way for democratic experiments. Genuine capitalism cracked the chokehold of feudal and hereditary power, emphasizing value, risk, and exchange over lineage.

The Lessons of History

• Capitalism emerged as a tool for liberation from aristocratic control.
• Early capitalism required transparency, voluntary exchange, and recognition of labor.
• When markets respect contributors’ value, capitalism decentralizes power and distributes agency.
• True capitalism benefits women as creators, laborers, and consumers, but only if hierarchy does not dominate.

History equips us to reclaim capitalism’s promise: a system rooted in value, exchange, and freedom rather than extraction and control.

Capitalism, Patriarchy, and Female Power

People claim capitalism is broken, but we have never truly lived in it. Real capitalism rewards innovation and risk. Patriarchy rewards inheritance and control.

What passes as the market is often a male-coded command system masquerading as capitalism. It extracts women’s labor, talent, and spending while denying ownership and safety — by design.

Capitalism seeks prosperity: a reliable consumer base, law and order, and women with spending power. Patriarchy seeks hierarchy: men owning, controlling, and extracting from women. Women are the greatest producers of real value, which is why our wealth and power are policed so tightly.

The Price of Female Power

When women accumulate intellectual, economic, or social power, the system isolates them, questions their sanity, and rewrites their story. Male billionaires are treated as inevitable geniuses; female billionaires are treated as accidents needing correction. Brilliance becomes instability; leadership becomes “difficult.”

For every celebrated woman, thousands have their companies, ideas, or credits quietly transferred to male hands. This is what happened to me, and why this essay exists: the question is not whether women can build empires — it’s whether the world allows them to keep what they build.

Female Innovation, Male Extraction

Women innovate, adapt, and create value — but contributions are often dismissed or reframed. Men extract value while positioning themselves as the “visionaries” behind women’s success. This pattern spans industries: gaming, AR/VR, tech, consumer markets.

I built an emerging-tech company to reshape AR/VR. I raised funds, led teams, and approached extraordinary success — until the system erased me. My company, resources, and safety were stripped away. I am a billionaire in principle, by what I built. Yet I write this from a tent. This isn’t irony; it is evidence.

Narrative Warfare

A key aspect of narrative warfare is deciding which concepts are named and which are hidden. Libraries and book lists become battlefield maps. Books highlighting gendered economic patterns but avoiding structural language let the system preserve male power. Readers understand the problem, but remain disempowered.

Education and Erasure

Patriarchy perpetuates itself by denying knowledge of profoundly different male and female experiences. Graduate programs in human development, psychology, and family studies often treat men and women as if experiences were identical — they are not. Women face unique social, economic, and psychological realities, yet curricula rarely acknowledge this. Erasure sustains a deeply unjust hierarchy.

Bridget Brennan’s Why She Buys exemplifies this: teaching men to extract value while women rarely benefit.

Two Realities, One World

Men navigate a world built for them. Systems accommodate their errors, often framing them as merit. Women endure constant extraction — of labor, safety, and narrative. Success requires double proof; failure brings double punishment. Hidden costs are imposed silently. Men’s ease and women’s endurance are two sides of the same coin.

The Invisible Cost

When women fund systems that fail to protect them, it is structural misuse of public trust. Women create wealth that is confiscated, buy from companies that exclude them, and pay taxes to institutions that endanger them. The result: an economy running on women’s energy while denying economic sovereignty. This is the unseen violence of the modern age: erasure disguised as efficiency.

What Needs to Change

Reclaiming markets, not abandoning them, is essential. Immediate steps:
1️⃣ Fund women-led enterprises.
2️⃣ Demand transparency in how women’s consumer dollars are used.
3️⃣ Insist on gender-literate leadership in finance, tech, and policy.
4️⃣ Audit public spending to reveal whose interests women’s taxes serve.
5️⃣ Build cooperative financial structures keeping profits circulating among women.

Toward a Civil Reckoning

We are preparing to file suit — symbolically and systemically — against structures that use women’s labor and taxes to undermine security. Women are the backbone of every economy. Yet institutions have:

• Undervalued women’s labor and creativity.
• Failed to protect women from coercion and economic abuse.
• Funneled public funds to male-run industries.
• Maintained laws blocking women’s wealth retention.

This is not vengeance — it is accountability. Legitimate markets depend on fairness and enforcement of value.

The Next Era

Women are the majority of consumers, graduates, and innovators. Missing is control over the structures our energy sustains. If women create value, women must direct it. Anything less is fraud disguised as business. Economists, lawyers, and policymakers must document asymmetries and convert data into justice. The next economy begins when women stop merely fueling it and start owning it.

Coda: The Wrong Bitch

At a major AR/VR conference, a 30-person committee was announced to guide the industry. Not a single woman was included. I stood and asked, “So you just see AR/VR as being for men, not for women?” Applause erupted — obvious, ridiculous, and dangerous.

The female executive I mentioned earlier — the only woman in the room for decades — messaged me with articles about Gamergate, essentially saying, “I can’t have anything more to do with you. I’m a mom.” The message was clear: stop speaking, or something will happen.

Did it make me stop? No. It was my time to build an empire. Schillers build empires. The patriarchy must end — over my dead body if need be.

Women create the value; now we will claim it — no longer allowing a system built on erasure to decide what we keep.
