Yeah. That’s not what I was talking about. If men are strong, and women are weak, if you’re a man who isn’t strong, if you’re a feminine dude, then you’re in trouble. It’s not about enforcing power and privlege, it’s about enforcing identity roles. It’s an important difference. Being born male leads to more innate power and privilege than being born a woman does— being born male and highly effeminate leads to less. It’s not just a structure to ensure one group is favored, it’s also to define that group.

This is where we also seem to disagree. I see the fact that ‘effeminate’ men are seen as lesser and being ‘masculine’ as being positive very much as a power and privilege thing.
