[QUOTE="Paidiske, post: 77679634, member: 386627"] I have explained, repeatedly, in this thread, that by "hierarchy" as a value underpinning abuse, we are essentially discussing dominance hierarchies; relationships of control. No, that is not what I am saying, at all. I am saying that relationships of (unnecessary) control, which is what many hierarchies are, are inherently abusive. Hierarchy - control of one person by another - as a value and ideal which normalises relationships of power and control, do underpin abuse. I would want to critique the idea that relationships in which one person controls another unnecessarily are ever "healthy." I see your sentence above as essentially saying, "We have to tolerate some abuse (control) for the sake of social order." And I profoundly disagree. I would want to see the link so that I can read the quote in context. I suspect they are not talking about dominance hierarchies in the household. And how do you define the difference between abusive and non-abusive control? [/QUOTE]
