Why do we have to tread carefully? I specifically said, “those fragile guys” meaning only the guys who are fragile. Treading carefully means that I am going out of my way to walk on eggshells so as not to hurt the poor fragile feelings of these men. Times Up for that bullshit!
Dominance posturing is a function of living in a patriarchal system. It’s the stratification of all types that gets maintained through might makes right and trying to force anyone who gets above their station back into place.
The two basic human types are male and female. The way the relationship between women and men is structured is thus a basic model for human relations. Consequently, a dominator-dominated way of relating to other human beings is internalized from birth by every child brought up in a traditional, male-dominated family.31
In the case of racism, this model of human relations is generalized from members of a different sex to members of a different race. In the related phenomenon of colonialism, it is generalized one step further, to members of a different nation (and usually also race). It is a model that has throughout history lent itself to the rationalization of all possible variations of social and economic exploitation.
