ALL power-minorities, women, Indigenous, battered people, homeless people, autistics, the same is true.

Power-majority is self-centered, aka narcissistic.

That is the default.

"majority RULE" means minority over-ruled/bullied, inherently.


Look at how a story in the Abrahamic religions scripture, on how women ate "the fruit of the knowledge of Good & Evil" which means they ate Morality .. got turned, by the power-majority into hating-on women for their "sin".

Women ( mothering ) ate of morality & shared it with men.

Period.

Researchers studying wasps in the Americas discovered that altruism is generalized-mothering, Buddhism perceived the same underlying-principle 25 consecutive centuries ago, the correct reading of that story in Genesis stated so, but the male-supremacism deformed the meaning until bullying women became religious-law for .. millenia..


Many years ago, in the 1990's, there were the Internet FAQs.

The Feminism FAQ of that time identified that there was a category-difference between early White feminists & early Black feminists:

White feminists wanted to be included in the White privilege that males had. They wanted their half of White entitlement.

Black feminists, being bullied both for being women & for being Black, wanted something completely different: they wanted the abuse to be forced to unexist.

That is evidence ( my life corroborates it ) that our unconscious, when bullied in 1 dimension, wants to be included in the power-majority group, but when bullied in 2+ dimensions ( each individual may have a different threshold ), then the underlying problem with bullying-itself is understood by one's unconscious, and it becomes removing bullying's rule that one's unconscious understands to be the problem.


It isn't leaving women, Indiginous people, homeless people, etc, fucked-over, while fixing it for 1 subgroup, that is going to make humankind viable, it is dismantling abuse-archy for all that can.

IF we earn it.

in time.
