If you had total control over the world, how would you solve the "patriarchy" problem?
Does total control include mutant superpowers? I think it would be kind of neat to be able to have people swap bodies for a day. I mean, we all think the other person is being ridiculous, but we're only sharing what we've seen firsthand. If every person were able to see the world through the eyes of someone living a completely different life, seeing the little gestures made, the different looks given, the tone of voice spoken to, I think that would help a lot of people understand what all the bitching and complaining is about.
Have you ever had a store call for a security scan when you've entered the store? Have you ever had a car pull up to you and the gentleman inside stick his head out to ask how much for a blow job? Have you ever had a woman near you grasp her purse closer to her once she saw you? Has a man tried to stab you in an alleyway? Have you ever been called a racial slur with venomous connotation?
I think once people truly understand what that different person goes through everyday, then people would have a little more empathy and understanding instead of just trying to brush off someone's concerns, talk about how their own struggles are more valid or suggest others are simply lying.
I don't feel safe walking around at work, is this male domination?
It is. You're dressed as a policeman when you're at work. A man who would wish to harm you has a different reason from a man who would wish to harm a petite female, but I think that struggle for power or control stems from the same barbaric place.
