Reading this made me curious, so I looked up statistics for where I am. 3 women every day are killed by intimate partners in the US. 140 women/girls worldwide per day. That’s a woman or girl every 10 minutes.
You’re absolutely right. Patriarchy hurts everyone. Boys aren’t taught coping skills, they’re told not to have emotions except for anger, which they’re told isn’t an emotion. They’re handed dominance and entitlement like it’s a birthright. And then people scratch their heads and wonder why so many women have absolute horror stories of abuse??
I don’t hate men. I hate what patriarchy has done to them.
I argue that the patriarchy has long since collapsed, replaced by a degenerate toxic stew of hedonism. I think many of the problems you describe and many you don’t (the proliferation of online “porn” and the explosion in sex-trafficking it caused) are the result of a lack of patriarchal values.
