Ok, hear me out - shapes.
[āIn the either/or gender class system that we call male and female, the structure of one up, one down fulfills the requisite for a perpetual power imbalance. It became clear that the reason the binary gender system continues to exist, and is actively and tenaciously held in place, is that the binary gender system is primarily a venue for the playing out of a power game. Itās an arena in which roughly half the people in the world can have power over the other half. Without the structure of the binary gender system, the power dynamic between men and women shatters. People would not have gender to use as a hierarchical framework, and nearly half the members of the binary gender system would probably be at quite a loss. They believe (foolishly, I think) that the power they have and exert over others is a good thing, and they want to hang on to it; theyāre terrified of losing this stuff.
What Iām talking about is whatās been called āmale privilege.ā And I think this is the crux of the gender issue; this is whatās holding gender in place: people who have and exert male privilege just donāt want to give it up.
I think that male privilege is the glue that holds the system together. People ask me what it was like to have had that kind of privilege, what it was like to lose it, why in the world I gave it up. To have it was like taking drugs; to get rid of it was like kicking a habit. I gave it up because it was destroying me and the people I loved.
Exerting āmale privilegeā is acting on the assumption that one has the right to occupy any space or person by whatever means, with or without permission. Itās a sense of entitlement thatās unique to those who have been raised male in most culturesāitās notably absent in most girls and women. Male privilege is not something thatās given to men in this culture; itās something that men take. Itās not that women donāt have the ability to have and wield this privilege; some do. Itās that in most cases, this privilege is withheld from them culturally and emotionally. Male privilege is woven into all levels of the culture, from unearned higher wages to more opportunities in the workplace, from higher quality, less-expensive clothing to better bathroom facilities. Male privilege extends into sexual harassment, rape, and war. Combine male privilege with capitalism (which rewards greed and acquisition) and the mass media (which, owned by capitalists, highlights only the rewards of acquisition and makes invisible its penalties), and you have a juggernaut that needs stopping by any means. Male privilege is not the exclusive province of men; there are some few women who have a degree of this horrifying personality trait. The wielding of male privilege is, in a word, violence.ā]
