It is true that women have been exploited and repressed throughout history. That has been changing in places like the United States. It is also true that males have also been exploited and repressed, just not on the same level. Oppressors oppress. Females have bad experiences with males and develop a contempt for males. Males have bad experiences and develop a contempt for females, both divide into groups for shelter, yet neither finds safety or shelter because it is not a case of males or females being bad as a group, it is hurt persons hurting people. Truth is you can't tell anything about a person by their sex, height, beauty or race. Yet our society constantly heaps praises, friendship and positions of power on the beautiful, the tall, the thin, as if we could tell the talent, heart or mindset of a person by their appearance. Those who are ugly are cast as criminals in the movies. They have been shunned by society since they were old enough to understand the word ugly, so much and so often that they begin to believe it themselves, it becomes reflected in their self esteem and many fall into the mold set for them. It is society which binds them as it is society looks for whatever measly scraps it can find to bolster our self worth and gain the acceptance of our piers at any cost. We end up buying stuff we don't need and being other than who we really are to please people we don't even like. It could be seen as normal for those repressed for so long to go past equal in their liberation, but the goal should be equality, not a change in who is oppressed, excluded or judged. Recognizing we have been programmed to see differences, seek shelter in groups and understanding the purpose it serves will put our foot on the path of true liberation, for everyone. tldr; What you look for you find. Emphasize similarities vs exploit differences. |
