Yes, Zed you are correct. The male POV is the DEFAULT POV for all people in this patriarchy, not just for women. Oh, boy, or girl should I say, I can see this is going to be an uphill battle for others to understand.
I suggest that everyone go to a site called "The Masculine Mystique". It is written by a straight white male, just in case anyone doesn't trust my "feminine" POV. I also suggested Feminism 101, but I can tell that nobody had gone to that site from the responses.
Thank you Zed, for carefully reading my post. This is a huge subject, and difficult to explain in a few sentences.
Why I am surprised at this point in my life, that other people do not realize that we live in a hierarchical, racist patriarchy, I am not sure. For me, it is a glaringly obvious fact of life.
