This is a cycle that is too often vicious, but we can work to make it virtuous instead. Sometimes we are obstructed in this by people denying that structural pressures exist. If an individual is personally prejudiced or oppressive toward another, that is one thing. But even if no individual is actively behaving in that way, it is possible for society to have that overall effect on people, because of how society is structured. This difference between individual bias and structural bias is the cause of a great deal of antagonism and misunderstanding of identity politics.
Here is a diagram depicting some structural reasons that men continue to be more successful and powerful in the world, to help us understand what we are currently doing about it and what we could do instead. I am writing “Y” for any general characteristics that are traditionally associated with men such as self-confidence, ambition, competitiveness, and risk-taking, but eventually we can consider Y to be general ingressivity.
