Is there anywhere on this planet that violence against women is not institutionalized?
Fuck
Yeah it sucks but it’s unfortunately the human condition, it’s wrong but you know if the positions were swapped early on that women would do the same things, we as a society need to finally accept that we have the intelligence to move past our natural origins, and throw out the preconceived notions that arose from said origins.

Doubt. Historically there are many matriarchal societies. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/angela-saini-patriarchy-matriarchy-gender-equality
I don’t think there are analogues to things like foot binding, female circumcision, etc. that apply to men.
It’s super crazy that these forced sterilizations happen, from doctors, to women that are vulnerable in this way. Anywhere. Black mothers have been subjected to this in the US, Inuit and indigenous in Canada and elsewhere. Nobody is giving men involuntary vasectomies, besides patriarchies making slaves into eunuchs. I am interested in learning about the exceptions though.
Not an expert on the topic but Google brought up this result at the very top.
Neat
I was more referring to if the roles had been swapped back in prehistoric times, when we were still evolving properly, of course matriarchal societies built post birth of civilization are going to be going about it differently, as they’d be influenced by how patriarchal it already was. What I’m saying is, say for instance spiders evolved into beings like humans, where contrary to ancient humans in most instances the females are the larger more dominant ones, that they would be doing very very similar things that we are. Also, if you seriously think that no one is giving males involuntary vasectomies you haven’t done enough research into that, let alone taking into consideration that massive amounts of males are circumcised at birth, just another kind of genital mutilation. My biggest point here is that because natural selection exists how it does, and because our ancestors happen to be built with males being dominant in that environment, it unfortunately turned out like this.
I think you have a very poor and outdated idea about human evolution and social behavior.
the roles couldn’t have been swapped, because it all boils down on a man being able to impregnate hundreds of women per year, but a woman can just have like one child per year. whether they know it or not, this forces men into a competition where they become more aggressive and stronger by selection; basically better oppressors.
I’m not saying that thir “human nature” talking point is a strategy by the powerful to justify their position. But it sure helps rationalizing it in that direction.
According to anthropological research. gender discrimiation stems from economical circumstanges.
Also, this seems more like a fucking racist policy, first and foremost, rather than a primarily sexist one.
