It’s really no wonder that men cling desperately to the institutions that don’t allow women out from under their brutality. Separatism terrifies them for good reason. Look at single-sex male spaces in prisons, schools, and industries. When men/boys are alone together, they quickly create castes where they treat their lowers like they treat women in broader society - and the abuse knows no limits. It’s often sexual, often fatal, and it always revolves around degradation. Males recreate patriarchy, even when they’re alone together. They’re terrified of their own brutality and need to use women as a buffer.
“They’re terrified of their own brutality and need to use women as a buffer.”
Hey this reminded me of schools! It’s been shown that girls learn better in schools that are sex segregated, while boys learn better in mixed classes. The boys NEED girls to be a buffer, or else they do worse. However, when the girls are forced to be a buffer, they do much poorer in school.
