"Black girls are raised, black boys are loved."

Black men are coddled (generally) in regards to upbringing.
I understand where you're coming from but it's more nuanced than that.
As @Kant mentioned, in her upbringing there was a division of labor which was gender specific but not oppressive.
Your experience may differ but that doesn't automatically make yours right and hers wrong.
You mentioned yourself that the "coddling" phenomenon is a by-product of single mother homes.
But that is a description of a dysfunctional family model.
With children being expected to fulfill roles properly assigned to adults.
I was raised in a 2-parent household, I imagine Kant was too.
Having witnessed gender-roles performed dutifully and to the benefit of the family as a whole, I have no negative prejudices towards them.

Not dimorphic enough to give credence* to the masculine/feminine dichotomy.
Agree to disagree. :yeshrug:
I understand all this, and even agree. Wow.




This I don't understand.
Basically every society has a hierarchy of power necessary for it to function. In our modern world people fail to understand why things are the way they are

I think that's what he's trying to say
THIS!!!
Exactly this!
I find that much of the railing against the way society is organized currently is made ignorant of the factors and history which brought us to this point in the first place.
Historically, people came together in groups because we NEEDED each other to survive.
Groups of people require leadership.
Here is where our most basic models for gov't were born.
Over time, these groups became larger and their governance more complex.
Because resources are limited, groups competed with other groups to establish dominance.
The most successful societies are the ones we see present and flourishing today.
We KNOW they were successful because they're still around today.
History, then, proves that patriarchal societies which put an emphasis on training men to become disposable yet efficient tools of war and women to be homemakers and babymakers (to replace those disposable men), has been the most effective model for power and social control, to date.
Hence, why patriarchal societies are damn near universal.
They worked.

Nah, but if you ain't happy then all wishes to you. Marriage takes work.
