And also, I would definitely read a book on the history of what is considered "real" or "authentic" in music.

At a minimum my dream book would cover
* the Christian Church's on-and-off ban on instruments
* verismo in opera and related literary movements
* early reactions to recorded music
* period performances vs modern interpretations
* the explosion of technology including synthesizers, lip sync, autotune, role of the producer, K-pop, etc.

Does this book exist?

I'm often surprised by how easy it is to find dehumanization and entitlement in our daily lives.

Hint: If you're having any trouble spotting it, just try closely inspecting how people you know talk about the other political party or people in states of the other color.

Without vigilance, I think we're all prone to this.

You can see dehumanization and entitlement in so much of the discourse of so-called moderates (e.g. favoring a "common sense" approach to trans women's participation in sports).

But this gives a good two-point way to check ourselves in daily speech so we don't casually embed male supremacist values:

Does what you're saying imply that someone else is lesser?

Does what you're saying imply that you/your group is inherently deserving of some privilege?

The NPR piece inks to an explainer of the key elements of male supremacism: dehumanization and entitlement.

These drivers take shape in biological essentialism, anti-consent ideology, and justification of violence.
