Does Male Dominance Destroy Community?

If marriage/family is a mini community, does male dominance/sexism prevent love and community?

First a quotation from Clyde and Susan Hendrick (Liking, Loving and Relating):

"Our current conceptions of love, sex and marriage are recent phenomena and did not exist throughout most of recorded history. . . .  Love as the basis of marriage is an eighteenth century invention. . . . has become the dominant view in the twentieth century.  Love in ancient Greek marriage was unknown, perhaps unthinkable.  Women then were not educated and were considered inferior in almost all aspects to men.  Good companionship could be had only with other well-educated males. . . .  One result was that love often bloomed between males; classical Greece had a large incidence of male homosexuality."

Noble's comments:  Sexism/male dominance prevents love; genuine love occurs between equals.  Real love can hardly grow in a superior-inferior relationship.  Without love between equals, some will pursue homosexual relations as a substitute.

Next some quotations from a book by Jimmy Carter titled A Call to
Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power:

"I saw the ravages of racial prejudice as I grew up  in the Deep South, when for a century the U.S. Supreme Court and all other political and social authorities accepted the premise that black people were, in some basic ways, inferior to white people.  Even those in the dominant class who disagreed with this presumption remained relatively quiet and enjoyed the benefits of the prevailing system [white privilege].  Carefully selected Holy Scriptures were quoted to justify this discrimination in the name of God."

"There is a similar system of discrimination [oppression], extending far beyond a small geographical region to the entire globe; it touches every nation, perpetuating and expanding the trafficking in human slaves, body mutilation, and even legitimized murder on a massive scale.  This system [of oppression] is based on the presumption that men and boys are superior to women and girls, and it is supported by some male religious leaders who distort the Holy Bible, the Koran, and other sacred texts to perpetuate their claim that females are, in some basic ways, inferior to them, unqualified to serve God on equal terms.  Many men disagree but remain quiet in order to enjoy the benefits of their dominant status.  This false premise provides a justification for sexual discrimination [oppression] in almost every realm of secular and religious life."

"Yet although economic disparity is a great and growing problem, I have become convinced that the most serious and unaddressed worldwide challenge is the deprivation and abuse of women and girls, . . . "
