I spoke about going to a squat rave in Berlin recently.
Lacking appropriate attire, we got shut down pretty heavily. But it was curious to observe that the women – in order to signal that they weren't interested – would defer to men in the group. However, these men were weak and unimposing figures, even when physically large. And though the women themselves were obnoxiously assertive, they started to fret when we did not cower. An inversion of the sexual hierarchy.
