This dictum also destroyed the partnership relationship between men and women and proclaimed the male species special and elevated in status so men could dominate women and nature .     Nature being perceived as adversarial promoted the adoption of certain survival values that included taking from others. The male perceiving himself as strong, brave, a protector and a provider, began to entertain the notion that males were more important than females.     I also believe men’s perception of women as being inferior to men and metaphorically similar to nature emotionally and intellectually (women perceived to be too emotional and irrational) has considerably damaged male-female relationships and contributes significantly to the instability of our global societies.
