inborn inferiority

What Do We Need to Know About Ourselves? | Clarissa's Blog

The guys I am dealing with are so far removed from any intellectual consciousness that they feel that they themselves might possibly be intellectuals. In another thread, some guy is insisting that the reason none of his romantic relationships have worked out is women will not accept the natural gender hierarchy that would enable any communication to occur. They won't accept it and therefore his communication is thwarted.

 Then he goes on to explain that it makes perfect sense for women to accept their alleged inferiority in relation to him, in exchange for loyalty and service. He would promise to be loyal and serve them, if only they would facilitate communication by accepting inferiority. I asked him whether he liked submitting to his boss. he said that thankfully he was not in love with his boss.

 He went on to say that nothing in the world is equal to anything else. I think he is right about that. But he needs to come out from standing alone and place himself next to his neighbor, so that he might more deeply understand his inferiority.
