- 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).

- This means, then, that many, if not most, male feminists and male womanists exist, literally, in a "no-man's land," where they receive the cold shoulder from feminists and womanists, and are shamelessly shunned by male antifeminists and antiwomanists and the supersexist men who rule the male supremacist world.
