[Smashpatriarchy] revised invite to reading group

[Christopher Leinonen]

Only thing I might tweak would be to use a different word re: the
"establishment of patriarchy" -- to me "establishment" connotes a
beginning, but patriarchy could probably be argued to have "been
established" at the onset of agriculture.  I'm not sure what a better word
might be, though.  Entrenchment?  My thesaurus brain isn't workin' so hot.
