From: The Time Has Come
$3.24
In the third chapter, Kaufman reflects on the impacts of living in a male dominated world has had on himself and other men. He examines the long history and theory surrounding how male-dominated society came into being, and despite gender being societal construct, it has become internalized and essentialized as we have internalized gender through expectations, ideals, and relations, causing our brains to become gendered. Highlighting how this also hurts most men across the world and that men have a big stake in bringing that world of gender inequality to an end alongside women.
