Your second example may have a core of truth, though. Gynocentrism really is species-wide. And imo, it's not an intrinsically bad thing.

There are a lot of very good analyses of the pros & cons of patriarchy for both sexes & how it played out in practice.

I know quite a lot about the burdens it placed on men too. For many couples it worked. For others it did not. Coz people vary.

Well, Helen, I do hope you can find the time to watch her video. I'd enjoy discussing it with you, knowing we were both on the same page.

Maybe I will in the future. I am more focused on a universal liberalism right now. Sick of feminist & MRA propaganda.

OK. I am not interested in gender theory.
