A model of culture and human relations based on hierarchy, ranking, power, and control. Masculinity is equated with control, conquest, and violence: men dominating women and children.
Opposite to Partnership Culture.
In a domination system...
Humans are flawed and dangerous.
Difference is equated with superiority or inferiority.
Power is used to control and destroy through hierarchies of domination.
Competition means "dog eat dog"; "every man for himself".
People cooperate to dominate others.
Huge gaps between haves and have-nots
Nature is a resource to be dominated, depleted and polluted.
Morality of insensitivity, control, and coercion.
(Based on the Center for Partnership Studies' summary of points from Riane Eisler's _The Power of Partnership_ and David Korten's _The Great Turning_)

Dominator culture teaches all of us that the core of our identity is defined by the will to dominate and control others. We are taught that this will to dominate is more biologically hardwired in males than in females. In actuality, dominator culture teaches us that we are all natural-born killers but that males are more able to realize the predator role. In the dominator model the pursuit of external power, the ability to manipulate and control others, is what matters most. When culture is based on a dominator model, not only will it be violent but it will frame all relationships as power struggles.

MC Duffy aka The Duffinator is a “dark” rapper hailing from Birmingham, UK. Specialising in street poetry, Duffinator has collaborated with prolific producer/MC Dave Neurotic and fellow MC Young Zeus on supertracks “GYM” and “Lethal”, as well as solo hit “bad boy bside demo”.
Duffinator’s perhaps most famous contribution to date is his epic verse on “GYM” with the rhyme “Bustin’ weights, with my mates, do whatever it takes, we get ourselves in states, my heart beats in higher rates”. This catchy refrain and the profound lyrics have received critical acclaim among viewers:
"This definitely got my heart beating at higher rates."
"This could be the greatest thing I have ever seen."
"I have to agree...the way they have deconstructed the human condition continues to astound and inspire me. They have subverted the daily grind by reducing it to a basic act of physical exertion with one's mates. And who doesn't want to "Do whatever it takes" when it comes to pushing through the mundane nature of life and achieving one's goals. Genius."
A self-professed “retired badboy”, The Duffinator also has an interest in catering, which he studies at college (subject of another eulogistic tribute – “Catering” – which he describes as “one for collage sic”).
Duffinator’s inspirations include “Eminem, D12, 50 Cent and Drum an sic Bass".
