"It's not about the nail."

Remember that one?

It's not about the bear.

Bullies. Competition. It's "The Economy of Stupid."

We're supposed to accept a society based on competition because the powered justify their power by "saving" the unempowered from themselves (and collecting a tidy profit/sex slave/cook along the way).

It's not about all men. It's about an average.

If one person in a room of 100 is correct about solving a problem, and the other 99 are wrong, then any compromise would be wrong. If 100 men are in a room, and there are 50 fascist psychopaths (or ignorant consumers) prowling among them and they don't stop voting for the system that creates 'competitive' fascist teams, there is no "right" side to compromise with.

The issue is what women feel in a society built for men's pleasures/domination/profits/prophets.

We vote once every 4 years for someone we hope won't kill our children in their beds, but we vote billions of times every day for the men's corporations (usually) that do. One dollar = one vote.

If you want Change, keep it in your pocket.

Would you rather be in the woods with a millionaire bear or a millionaire man?

Would a millionaire woman go into the woods looking for either?

This is really about value and the price of living in a world that monetizes everything: including the argument over bears and men, and that keeps most people too poor and weak to walk away from conflicts against their own interests.
