If women were to suggest that men's existence should be governed by the whim of women, that men were to have no identity apart from their relationship to women, no needs but the need to serve women, that therefore they must learn to please women, to blame no one other than themselves for their own inadequacies, such advocates would be condemned as irrational, would no doubt be accused of man-hating, and certainly of emasculating men. But while men make such statements about women, their rationality can be applauded and their woman-hating perceived as perfectly acceptable. The only difference between the two is the worth attributed to the sexes in a male-dominated society.
