  • I post this here because this narration reminds me of James Baldwin, whose writing many feminist found some experiential commonality (see Dworkin). It is really about male privilege and the tribalism that divides and traumatizes us -- through what greatly can be called the patriarchal habituation (addictive) process as described by Anne Schaef and many others. Misogyny (patriarchy), as he describes racism, functions in the same manner. I do not have time to say much more at this moment. Obama is a great writer. I can see why some of my literary friends who read his books early on were smitten by him. You can see where his remarkable diplomacy evolved. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NBzDb8UB8yA
