A Useful Phrase: The Instrumentalization-Infantilization Dichotomy
In “Summa Genderratica,” I argued that our gender system can ultimately be understood as two overlaid dichotomies; the subject-object dichotomy and the disposable-cherishable dichotomy.

This is a repost of an article I originally wrote for /r/Masculism and posted here:
