Simplified Meaning:

This quote means that men have historically been in control of how the world is shown and understood. They have had the power to decide what is important and how it is presented to others. Imagine a classroom where only boys are allowed to decide what books are read and what subjects are taught. This would mean that only their perspectives and experiences are shared, while the viewpoints of girls are left out. In the real world, this has often meant that men's voices are heard more in history books, media, and government. Because of this, our understanding of the world is shaped mainly by men's experiences. To make a more balanced and fair world, it's important to include voices and stories from everyone, not just men. For example, more women in leadership roles can help create laws and policies that benefit everyone, not just one group. By listening to and valuing different perspectives, we can get a fuller, richer view of the world.
