During the earlier Middle Ages the literacy rates were very low and only about 3% of people could read or write, most being monks. The Pope abused that power over the people by telling them that he was the mouth piece of God and that the people should come to him for salvation. For example, in the Crusades Pope Urban the II told people that if they fought in the Crusades they would earn salvation. And they believed him since he was the ¨Mouth Piece of God.¨ Later the Pope started to tell people that they could pay indulgence meaning they could pay a certain amount of money to the church and in return, they would have to spend as much time in purgatory. Purgatory was a place that the Pope made up to gain money and was the place in between heaven and hell. The only way you would go to purgatory was if you weren't good enough to go to heaven or bad enough for hell.

______________ is a gendered political psychology that authorizes violence by entitling boys and men to exact revenge on others

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Aggrieved entitlement is a gendered political psychology that authorizes violence by entitling boys and men to exact revenge on others when they perceive their masculinity to have been threatened or otherwise inaccessible.

Explanation:

The term "aggrieved entitlement" is used to refer to the male gender who have the psychological mind that they are entitled to feelings of exacting revenge on others if their masculinity is threatened or questioned. This means that such perpetrators feel entitled to cause violence and justified the 'punishment' they gave others.

This term was used by Michael Kimmel to refer to the dominant white men who have the mentality that their rightful place as men is being questioned. This mentality is when they feel that their 'masculinity' is being deconstructed, or challenged.
