The reason why we categorize men as the default and women as the other subconsciously, is because if we start seeing men and women as distinct but default entities we are reminded of the savagery of the male nature and the empathy of the female, and it would discomfort us to realize that our very lives, our beliefs, and our systems, have been governed, from a meta perspective, by the sex that has killed, raped, enslaved, terrorized, murdered, wounded and destroyed millions upon millions of the human race.
