Humans have hit living things with sticks and rocks since we learned it hurts them more than us. You can’t blame patriarchy or the media for that.
Hate and fear are inherent to people. But that’s like how we have an inherent appetite for sugar, fat, and salt.
Love is like exercise. Sometimes kids want to do nothing, sometimes all they want to do it run around. They need to learn that it is good for them and ultimately makes them feel good. Some do on their own, some need to be taught, and some don’t learn it and make a point to avoid it. And the longer you go without doing it, the harder it is to start again.
We built societies and civilizations on the very idea of being greater than our nature.
