culture coward

Woke folks who have tunnel vision when it comes to social justice.

Did the presenter really just tell that orphan to check his white privilege?

What a culture coward! She’s probably getting paid $10k for this speech…

Dominator Culture

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.

culture fluid

A culture fluid person is someone who fluctuates between more than one culture, as a result of either being brought up in a multicultural environment or having lived in multiple countries during the course of life. They do not stick to one set of values and behaviour assigned to one particular culture, embracing multiple social, cultural and linguistic identities within themselves and manifesting these identities when appropriate.

At a recent interview I was asked if I identify as a Russian or a Brit. My reply was "I am culture fluid"

beanie culture

A slang reference to the common thread among Millennials, that ubiquitous knitted cap.

Beanie culture clearly conveys the laid-back anti-consumerism that defines this generation, rain or shine.

tomboy couture

The wearing of typically masculine-oriented types of clothes in a high fashion custom created way. Usually by a designer, like Coco Chanel's fascination with sportswear, jockey wear and men's apparel in general.

Coco Chanel made the wearing of men's clothing a kind of tomboy couture because she altered it to fit herself and her style, feminizing it.

Man of Culture

"Man of Culture" is a weeb term that defines a person who enjoys things that are typically regarded with, in weeb society, high opinion.

I got my friend into anime. I noticed him watching Ishuzoku Reviewers yesterday, completely without my provocation. I'm glad I've turned him into a man of culture.

Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well.
