Masculinity and power

 
Preciado 370-1: "This is one of the first lessons about masculinity--everything depends on the way power is managed: making another person believe that he has the power, even if, in reality, the person has it only because you've conceded it to him. Or else making the other believe that power, as something natural and nontransferable, is yours, and that you and only you will be able to endow him with the status of masculinity, which he needs to belong to the dominant class."
