Re: Women have been bred to serve me. Ergo, most women will side with men against women
(Anonymous) 2018-02-20 04:40 am (UTC)(link)Part of the reason I think it is important to take biological factors into account is because this is a pattern that repeats itself across times and cultures, because we know that sexual dimorphism often produces antagonistic traits, and because we know that hormones are sexed. There are very clearly things going on that aren't cultural, and we can't tackle them properly without acknowledging them.
It's like how you can't properly guard yourself against manipulation unless you come to grips with the fact that you can, in fact, be manipulated.
As I said, the remarkable thing about humans is that we are able to become aware of these things (and we're able to form the cultural constructs that you allude to). I think my mistake was in failing to note that that's also part of our biology, and it's a part that we fail to utilize, most likely because it takes more of an active effort.
