In male convention, freedom means that a true man should be independent and not do whatever others say - especially not following a woman's advice. Of course, when Thomas Paine advocated for men's rights in the 18th century, he could not have thought of the modern concept of a big man's personality. Moreover, until today, there are still some men who use democracy as an excuse to consolidate the legitimacy of their rule.
According to male ideology, class struggle is innate, so there is no such thing as equality - someone must be in power. The concept of pure equality in the minds of women is interpreted in the subconscious of many men as a challenge to their dominance. Men should control women to prevent them from constantly wanting to control things. In the architecture of the brain, men view women as another type of person, so they use different rules when interacting with men or women.
However, there is no doubt that if women want equality, they must declare war on male dominance, and as mentioned in Chapter 2, they must do so continuously every day. But if most men do not believe in the so-called equality (because in a class system, people must hold power), they seem to believe that what women demand is domination or power. However, if men fail to understand the meaning of equality, it may lead women to rise up and compete for power despite disappointment.
The male ideology is based on dominance, while women insist on love and warmth, forming a tragic pattern in many people's lives: men have full power and despise women, while women try every means to talk, understand, explain, and make men speak their hearts. The two often spend some time together in a noisy atmosphere until they break up, unaware of the true cause and unable to escape its consequences.
