No one cares about humiliating you or wielding any power over you. Unless you are a daughter of a billionaire you are simply insignificant. No one will spend their time and energy to wield anything over you because you simply don't matter. 
And you will be even more insignificant when AI takes over. Get out of the false narrative, if you are capable of it.[/quote]

Here's a study showing that female-initiated disruption of a male hierarchy incites hostile behavior from poor performing males towards females. The study was done anonymously with on-line gamers. [b]Poorly performing males stand to lose status and as a result are hostile toward a female teammates.[/b]

I am not the PP, but I will chime and ask, why do you think that is?

It's because women, often inadvertently, use their sexual power to get perks in society.

The solution is for high status men to be disciplined about showering attractive females with any kind of attention that is not 100% based on their performance and non-sexual contribution to the group. That is the only way for other lower status or even medium status men not to be rightly annoyed by sexual-power wielding females.

I am a woman, by the way. And I don't think that women manipulatively use their sexual power in many cases. I blame the retarded men (Harvey Weinstein types) who make everything awkward for everyone by pandering to attractive women to either try to get laid or simply for an ego boost. [/quote]

It’s much more complicated than that. In matriarchal societies women don’t need to use their “sexual powers to get perks”.

In this study, they tried to control for sexuality by choosing the game Halo 3 where “the players are covered head-to-toe with armor and identified by armor color, rather than facial features or body type”. The only thing identifying the female players was their voices.

Other studies have looked at the confidence of girls and women in matriarchal societies and found that they have equal confidence in their decision making as males. By contrast, the more patriarchal the society, the less confidence females had in their decisions compared to males.

I can see how in a society where women have less power, they would use their sexuality to influence the males that do. It would also make sense that lower status males would try to elevate their status by putting females down below them.

I’m not saying there’s one easy solution to the sexual harassment problem (eg that men need to step up or women need to fight back). It’s a complex societal problem that many people don’t even see as a problem (take the Eastern European poster) and will not be resolved overnight.[/quote]
