Spotted at laurier shows anonymously how people think of others lesser than themselves. In the industrial revolution masculinity was based on work and steel. This came after aboriginal women building land for centuries. Women of colour were seen to be strong and did work that white women were not supposed to do. If men were taken away their power, they would take away everything from their wife. White women were supposed to do absolutely nothing.
