The Tribulation of Male Dominance (Towards Understanding Human Nature)

The most important question all women should ask their prospective husbands before marriage is, 'What is your attitude toward male dominance, especially in family life?' This question, however, is rarely asked and even less frequently answered. Women are sometimes striving for equality, and other times they are resigned to varying degrees. Men, on the other hand, are convinced from childhood that they have a more important role to play. They interpret this conviction as an implicit duty and focus on responding to life's and society's challenges in a privileged, masculine manner. Think what it means to a young boy who witnesses the prevailing masculine privilege from his earliest days. From the day of his birth he may be received with greater enthusiasm than a girl child. A boy senses at every step that, as the son and heir, he has greater privileges and social value. Chance remarks and incidents constantly call his attention to the greater importance of the masculine role.

All of our institutions, traditions, laws, morals, and customs bear witness to the fact that they are determined and maintained by privileged males for the glory of male dominance. In terms of the history of the origins of masculine dominance, it is important to note that this phenomenon does not occur naturally. There is evidence to prove that it arose primarily as a result of constant battles between primitive peoples, during which man assumed a more prominent role as a warrior and eventually used his newly acquired superiority to retain leadership for himself and his own ends. This process was accompanied by the development of property rights and inheritance rights, which became a tool of masculine dominance, in that man was typically the acquirer and owner of property. Male domination is also made clear to him when he sees female workers doing menial tasks, and his impressions are reinforced by the fact that the women around him are not at all convinced of their equality with men.

The division of labor is structured in such a way that the privileged group – men – is guaranteed certain advantages, resulting in their dominance over women in the division of labor. Thus, the dominant male directs women's activity in such a way that men always appear to get the good things in life, while women are assigned tasks that men prefer to avoid. As things currently stand, men are constantly striving to dominate women, and women are similarly dissatisfied with masculine domination. Because the sexes are so interdependent, it's easy to see how constant tension leads to discord and friction, which must be excruciatingly painful for both.

There is no justification for distinguishing between'manly' and 'womanly' personality traits. We see how both groups of traits can be used to satisfy the desire for power. In other words, we see that a person can pursue power while exhibiting so-called "feminine" characteristics such as obedience and submissiveness, just as the advantages obedient children enjoy sometimes bring them much more into the spotlight than disobedient children, despite the fact that power is present in both cases. Psychological investigations are frequently complicated by the fact that the desire for power can manifest itself in the most complex ways.
