I’m convinced that what we’re seeing is the Patriarchy attempting to reassert itself. A lot of people seem to think that we’re going to be better off if we go back to a more oppressive time. Why? My guess would be fear. Many people are afraid of not having a place in society, and therefore, having a place in society is better than not having a place. This is because belonging is an issue of survival.
The people at the top enjoy the benefits, while the people at the bottom at least have a place. That’s the outdated bargain that a lot of people have bought into. But I wonder, do they really know what they’re buying?
We do. Let’s discuss.
