(8,155 posts)An important aspect of a social or sexual hierarchy is that those of greater ranking possess access to those of lesser ranking.
In a male-centric society, men assume access to women at all times in various ways. Men also assume that in a male-centric society, favor is always paid to men. The greatness of men must always be recognized at one point or another.
What this means is any argument that doesn't base itself off the basic premises that men are great and that men have access to women is going to be challenged as man hating. And in order to even pass the supposed "smell test" of male chauvinists, you have to kiss the Kings feet, as you will.
In order to posit any idea that might implicate a mass of men in wrong doing, especially in wrong doing against women, you must preface it as not man-hating. In what other capacity is that a necessary prerequisite to a discussion? Most of those other examples revolve around dominant submissive relationships. Race, for instance, has similar rules.
Do not criticize the master before first paying him homage.
