One of the greatest lies men ever told themselves and believed is that they are the pinnacle of morality.
The group of people way more likely to commit the most cruel and violent acts and crimes against women and children, other men, animals, nature etc. -are somehow always morally superior in comparison to women?
Most men use this underlying thought to fuel their denial, justification and continuation of the oppression of women. From male philosophers, psychologists to scientists, all of their ideas are rooted in their own belief and obsession with their inherent āgood moralsā in comparison to women.
ā I, as a man, am the only being that is morally good therefore I should be in charge of everything and everyone and I am inherently superior. I am the basis of all things humanā lots of men literally consciously and subconsciously think this way, it is the basis of why they treat women and children in such an inhumane way. They only recognise their own humanity that is always tied to their maleness.
Males think they are the pinnacle of humanity and what it means to be human and disregard everyone elseās humanity. Nobody is as human as them, and the patriarchal society we live in affirms this.
Disclaimer: This post is NOT me agreeing with the way males view themselves, it is an explanation of how they view themselves and where one of their needs to oppress women stems from, so that we can recognise when men use arguments that indicate this sentiment and call it out because they are NOT in any way morally superior to women.
