    I agree for the most part, but the frat houses and sororities are basically equivalent.

    Masculine Culture is just an extension of archaic patriarchy, a culture of dominance where you’re evaluated based on the number of people you can force into submission.

      Yea. I’d say that’s just an extension of how toxic masculinity reinforces jouvenile behavior. It shows up in sororities too because that is still an environment aimed at reinforcing the jouvenile’s concept of “freedom”.

      It’s a good indicator of why machismo-like thinking is so troublesome and pervsive, especially for men: It’s simply someone trying to hold on to a child’s understanding of the world… and males, especially those blinded by rage or hornyness, are notorious for childish thought.
