The Argument Structure, expand on these two. Need to show how men are…

- - - - if there is a case for the wide view, then how should we understand it? Is dehumanisation necessary? Is a beneftting corollary group necessary?
- - - - psychological: oppression through one's mental states, attitudes, self-belief, emotions, self-image etc. (Cudd, 24)
        
        these are in part created by gender roles, expectations and beliefs
        
        I am referring to images of male/female roles: breadwinner/homemaker, strong/weak, rational/emotional (irrational)
        
        these are a double-edged sword: they constitute, promote, and maintain male dominance and female subservience, but they ALSO inhibit men (this has been talked about before a la crying, toughness etc, which have in part been rebutted)
        
        However, there are other ways in which these constrain, and perhaps 'oppress' only men (and as men): epistemically and morally
        
        moral: treating women as subservient is wrong
        
        epistemically: men lack access to female knowledge (e.g. traditionally housework, or 'maternal thinking' (from Ruddick)
        
        men don't necessarily want this oppressive advantage. Living as an oppressor means that you are living a materially richer, but psychologically diminished life. Even if men don't realise it at the time, they are suffering

        these gender roles construct a barrier across. It may be one way, because dominant (male) knowledge is visible and harm to men is clearly punished (although not always recognised). So, women don't necessarily suffer these particular injustices.
        
        generates a false representation of the world (in different ways), for men and women
        
        could go through and examine how oppression compares amongst different philosophers here?
      - material: physical forces
        
        men don't really suffer these harms as men (although there may be a case for this, I won't examine it here)
