I bet this sub looks a lot better if we all block this ragebaiting dork.
Almost as if just a certain class of men created the system.
patriarchy both elevates and victimizes men, just like how racism both elevates and victimizes whites
Absolutely, which is why this post makes even less sense.
you mean why the post makes so much sense … it’s literally pointing out the paradoxical situation of patriarchy - that it victimizes the same class it simultaneously elevates to create the hierarchy in the first place, which is crazy
Rich men created the system. They’re doing absolutely fine. Patriarchy has always been about class, fundamentally.
Yep, which is a reason why ‘patriarchy’ is often a poor term for systems of power. The elites are elevated because they are wealthy, to a far greater extent than being elevated because they are male. Telling working class and impoverished men that the system is designed to benefit them is only going to push them towards right-wing populists like Trump who are selling fake solutions to their problems.
No, the current class society is dominated and shaped by the bourgeois (business owners/capitalists) and not some evil collective gender cabal. It’s in the interests of this ruling class to oppress women, given how they can pay them less, have them stay at home raising children for free via unpaid labor who them grow up to being workers to have surplus value extracted from, and therefore exploited in the future. These future workers can be both men and women, and they’re getting fisted regardless of one’s gender.
Removing this class element from women’s struggle and making it solely about one’s gender is genuinely harmful, as it makes others blind to the true cause of the oppression.
Well, there kind of is an evil collective gender cabal, but it’s a gender that has an entire drawer of cuff links. Normal cis men are just minions sometimes.
this is a cartoon understanding of partriarchy
Where exactly are men falling behind?
OP drank the koolaid that pits genders against each other.
Fr this is just ragebait
Education, homelessness, incarceration, life expectancy, mental heath, suicide, addiction, loneliness
And women are doing better at these things?
Good point.
