Why Human Oppression Happens

<p>This is a story about the worst story ever told.</p> <p>It&rsquo;s about the story you are told if at the time of your birth it was decided that you should grow up to be a real boy and then someday a real man. This decision was made on the fly, on the basis of a visual inspection of your baby groin. And nobody asked&nbsp;<em>you,</em>&nbsp;since you were just recently born. But that decision was going to determine a lot about your life, maybe most of it.</p> <p>You&rsquo;re all familiar with this story: First be a real boy then be a real man.</p> <p>If you are someone who was told this story, you were not only&nbsp;<em>told</em>&nbsp;it; you were taught to tell it to others so you could tell it to yourself. If you learned the story the way it is supposed to be learned, you will need to tell it to others and yourself over and over for the rest of your life. And this story is not yours alone. It&rsquo;s being told all around you almost everywhere almost all the time.</p> <p><a href="https://johnstoltenberg.medium.com/why-human-oppression-happens-5c642733415e"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
