    What matters more than the genitals in your pants is the amount of money you have. If you have money you can buy politicians, judges, housing, food, weapons, armies, and the list goes on. If you have a dick and no money, you’re nothing but a homeless person with no power at all.

      Patriarchy hurts men too. It’s what labels a poor man as a loser who isn’t able to provide for himself, rather than a vulnerable human being who needs help.

      If that’s true, that’s great! You can just make some money and you’ll get power. The only alternative is that you have some qualities that make you permanently not have power.

      This is interesting. As a life-long feminist, a male, and a vulnerable person, it has always occurred to me that there is a generalization of the ideas of feminism that apply to all vulnerable people subject to the self-interested authority of others.

      Kyriarchy encompasses sexism, racism, ableism, ageism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Catholicism, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, classism, xenophobia, economic injustice, the prison-industrial complex, colonialism, militarism, ethnocentrism, speciesism, linguicism and other forms of dominating hierarchies

      Anti-Catholicism? You mean the global formal hierarchy that’s solidly historically in support of fascism and against feminism? O…Kay. Why is that the literally only religion listed there? I get why you’d want to protect minority religious practices but why single out Catholicism?

        Why is that the literally only religion listed there?

        Actually, it’s directly following Judaism and Islam, but lets not quibble.

    Hm seems like we’re at the point where I should stop bothering with All’s comment sections and just stick to my subscriptions like on Reddit

    A few decades too late for that particular cause.

    The most constructive cause right now is The World vs The 1%.

      Take down capitalism but not the patriarchy, and all you’re left with is a non-capitalist patriarchy. Which would suit some just fine, sure, but one thing it isn’t is constructive.

        What patriarchy? There’s is no patriarchy. All we have left from that era are the ultra rich.

          Are you a white man in America? You’re saying white man in America type shit. Do you think racism is a relic of the past too?

            No I’m a mixed man from Denmark, and mostly bullshit comes from America, including your kind.

            I’d very much like it to not effect the rest the world as it does.

              You literally have no idea what you’re talking about then. Your sin is bold ignorance. I’m happy you don’t have to deal with this shithole, but here in America, we have a strong patriarchy. Simple fact.

                No, America is just backwards compared to the rest of the modern developed world. It’s not just social issues you have there. The whole country is corporate ruled, a lot of your traditions originating in either the hostile takeover of land or as a method of advertising by some company, and many of your laws are created through lobbying of these sane corporate entities. So deeply rooted are American problems that simply attributing it to one thing, like patriarchy or racism, is completely missing the point.

                You want to make America better, you’ll have to first destroy everything America is built upon. And stop mistaking outside observation for ignorance; Americans would do well to listening to the rest if the world.

                  You said a lot of words just to point out that yes, there’s a patriarchy problem in America. I’m well aware that there are many problems. You said that patriarchy wasn’t a problem. I said it was. Everything else you’re going on about is irrelevant.

    We will never fall. We make you believe you are in control, but the world is still controlled by us, as it always has been.

      You actually are right, so sad that downvoters don’t see the truth. The world was always controlled by assholes, who enjoy power.
