James talks about sexism in our society and patriarchy theory. Women are targeted with with violence on the world stage, and here in the USA the violence is trivialized.
But sexism isn’t only about women. To put women down is to simultaneously put men down as well. Is James “not a real man” for not being the worker in the marriage? To assign strict roles to one group automatically assigns them to all. If women shouldn’t work, men MUST work. If women are supposed to raise children and cook, then a man who does so is suddenly “less” than a man.
