      Interactions between women and men, or girls and boys, are warped with imbalance from the outset: “Male acculturation (a better description would be males’ seasoning) is antifemale, antiwomanist, antifeminist, and antireason […] Most men have been taught to treat, respond, listen, and react to women from a male’s point of view” (Madhubuti, 2005, p. 175).
