Patriarchy controls men by telling them to not develop emotional understanding/sensitivity.
It controls everyone by telling them that emotions are frivolous and unimportant in decision making, while so called "rationality" and force (if necessary) are "The Way".
We already have plenty of evidence that leads to nonsense. (Boiling planet, dead kids, etc)
But evidence of human suffering isn't persuasive on emotionally stunted people.
B/c rationalization -is- what blames victims.
