The Identity Politics of Masculinity as a Colonial Legacy
"The #PreColonial #Indonesian notion of personhood diverges from a western conceptualisation and is expressed instead through #cooperation, #mutuality, #sharing, #caring, and a readiness to #negotiate and #compromise – all of which are characteristics that are associated with feminine qualities and were thus considered inferior according to #Eurocentric understandings of the #subordination of women in #WesternSociety"

"[In this paper] I argue that a hierarchical structure between masculine and the feminine was introduced by the #Dutch #colonisers – a structure in which they considered themselves to represent the superior, masculine side of the binary, whereas the colonised were seen as their effeminate subjects."

Our corporations and administrations are dominated by a clique of people who, because they are symbolically interested, "give 100%" and expect others to do the same.
We can speak of a social class in charge of organizing work:
"Capital chooses a management team to represent it on the spot [in the corporations. Executives are meant] to supervise and organize the labors of the working population" (Harry Braverman USA, 1974, p. 405)
For Braverman, the people who really count in this team are those whose managerial positions offer them "a _share in the surplus_ produced in the corporation, and thus is intended to attach them to the success or failure of the corporation and give them a ‘management stake’, even if a small one." (pp.405–6, original emphasis)
