 “Just so” stories and the presupposition of male dominance at Pandagon
But to my mind, the greatest irony of the “just so” evolutionary theories to excuse away social problems caused by male dominance is that they resemble the theories used to stigmatize oppressed people in the past and thereby excuse the continuing oppression.
My point is that the rightness of male dominance is such a base assumption that proponents of it feel comfortable telling women that we have to simply put up with a baseline of violence from men instead of questioning whether or not this means that men need to be controlled.
Male dominance can cut both ways — it ain’t all gravy for guys, either.
