Why are people keep blaming "the patriarchy" for a lot of things?

I've seen a lot of people, mostly women all over social media, complain about how the patriarchy ruins things and have no clue why. At this point, it's annoying. 🤦🏾‍♂️

I want to hear from y'all.

People suck. Fem Nazis and incels are opposite sides ends of the same fucked up spectrum.

@Morvoren This is good. 💯😆

@MorvorenTo believe in incels you'd have to believe homely chicks don't exist.

They do. For the price of a few drinks at the bar I could have a different one each night of the week before I gave it up.

Put a fork in that rumor. It's done.

It’s a knee jerk leftist term that is only useful for virtue signaling and making excuses.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
It's a convenient excuse as to why some people haven't accomplished anything meaningful with their lives.

There's a bunch of hierarchies that make up a civilization and in this one there's three main ones. One of the men, one of the women, and one of the influential young.

The answer is: Because of stupid.


Females make all the babies the kid making and early teaching hierarchy for thousands of years.

Not any more. Now they're all turning into ugly hores that will screw anyone for the right price and willingly handing their kids over to schools and day cares to teach them how to surrender their maternal authority.
@SteelHands Are you a virgin?

@BohemianBoo sit down salty I got shoes I thrung out got more game than you.

Hierarchies weren't invented. They've been around millions of years and they'll be around millions more.

Being a crybaby about them is pointless.

Women are always either downplaying or ignoring the advantages they have over men, especially socially. And most of the things they complain about only have to do with the top 1% of men. But somehow we're all dragged into it.
that damn patriarchy. always up to no good. LOL
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy Lol I get it, no fucks given and just move on to what you do best. Or something like that. 😆👌
@xSiFiGamer2016x people arent interested in taking responsibility for their failures, its good to have a scapegoat handy.
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy Exactly, and there's always room for fixing mistakes. Too bad that a lot can't get it right.

You got no serious answers here. And I'm not going to provide any either. Not because I don't have any, because it seems this thread lacks basic understanding and especially, the will to understand.
You don't need to Google anything really. You need to be open with your questions and take the time to truly try and investigate. It might take years of observation.

@elafina The problem of pre established Dogmas and how each becomes a pseudo institution by time, dividing people as beleivers and non-beleivers of the dogma. The problem is those who have nothing to do with the dogma, making a mockery of those who are affected by it and scream for help.

Well said. All just think they can grasp the entire meaning of the concept just using dictionary or googling, but they know not how shallow is their knowledge about the subject dealt with. It's just like how people watch Arsenal Vs Liverpool , when they have nothing to do with either of them.
elafina · 36-40, F
@in10RjFox yes, it is like this. And especially the male-female balance relationship in our world is one of those topics holding SO much importance because it's who we are, closely related to our identity.
What most don't understand is that unless there's balance and every parts of our whole are healthy and happy, we can't be fully wholeheartedly happy.
But we're improving, we're doing the work.

Observing is the most important part. If you see what's the truth with your own eyes, it can't be denied. Each has to see for themselves..

[big]And that's the [b]identity crisis[/b] humanity is being challenged with now,[/big] and it at a decision point whether to drop the gender as an aspect or just keep going with it, until it gives more and more trouble.
Patriarchy is bad because it uses social pressure and sometimes even law to restrict what people can do based on gender. That's not very based.
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@BohemianBoo That I need to think over. But the best I can think of is for a lot of men to be in their masculine role and women in their feminine role, as well as having equal rights. But how can this happen if there's no benefit of equality nowadays? Not sure if this answers your question.
@xSiFiGamer2016x You think there's no benefit to having equal rights?

Feminism is about choice. You can be in your masculine role, whatever that means to you, but not every man has to be.
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@BohemianBoo Our society is just so clouded to the point that even if you want equality, there's something that can ruin it. Some people might have to accept it, others won't. Which is why I find stuff like this very annoying...
in10RjFox · M
Looks like you have no much experience on Patriarchy or know what patriarchy is all about. A very simple question would be why Victoria called herself a Queen when she was actually a [b]Lady King [/b]. And whether patriarchy will let a female to be addressed as [b] Father [/b] if she qualifies to be one in a church ?
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@in10RjFox From what I've gathered so far, it's about how us men have many benefits and consequences of us just being men. Also to include that has a huge impact between genders.

When it comes to the patriarchy, there are roles that men follow, even if they don't want to. We're taught that masculinity is important for everyday tasks like working, being a leader, not being some wimp or whatever. As for the downsides, men go through tough times that are way more serious than what women go through like sexual harassment, rape, suicide, and simply just not having as much freedom as women do. Basically, patriarchy is supposed to help us build the world for both men and women to thrive, but every action comes with consequences.

I can see that we need the patriarchy, but others are blaming it with a passion.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

😀😀 What a conclusion! .. so now ask yourself why future needs it and what purpose has it served.

If we were taught that masculinity is important for everyday task, then logically everyone that does tasks manage and lead is masculine. It never said only man can work or lead. So the problem is in assuming masculinity as property of males

So stop believing and start getting to know. Analyse and investigate.

I think it's pretty safe to say that social media has turned in to a platform for grievance and blame.
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@Ynotisay Ain't that the truth. 👏
mksworld · 46-50, C
Because we are not and have never been all in this together.
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@mksworld Then I guess those people won't accept what's real.
Did they have blue hair?
mksworld · 46-50, C
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Did they feed on Twitter blue-check marks?
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Some of them, yeah.

Because it's to blame for many things.

xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@Queendragonfly You're not wrong there. I had to look up what's wrong with our society, this came on top.
Queendragonfly · 31-35, F
@xSiFiGamer2016x And even if it was there to help all boys and men in society, it actually became the opposite even for your sex.

You got taught to repress feelings. To remain "strong" and never cry or show sadness. That you need to be rich and successful in order to deserve love. You had no choice but to provide and earn money, all responsibilities were on your shoulders. You weren't allowed to divorce if you were unhappy in your marriage or met someone else. You had to have kids even if you didn't want to. If you were gay you had to hide in a hetero marriage.

And as we reached a more and more modern society , while women got taken more seriously and had help instances, men had none. Suicide rates for men is double the amount as for women.

When us women turn mentally ill we were taught to talk about it, to cry, to grief to seek help. Men weren't. And a large majority of men 40+ are still death terrified of how they would look if they needed a therapist.

They rather OD or hang themselves than seeking help. Men are more at risk to end up outsiders which also increase the risk of suicide.

So to tear down the patriarchy wasn't just a liberation for women, but for you men as well.
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@Queendragonfly Society itself basically forgot that us men, like women, are humans with emotions. And I completely agree with you on the things you said. I was brought up to "be a man" and to "man up".... But at what cost? There's so much that men can do before they expire.

As for the suicide ratings between men and women, I had to fact check long ago to know that a study mentioned that men end their lives almost 4x higher than women. That's fucking scary. An old study from 2021. That can be a multitude of reasons: divorce like you mentioned (it's why many men now are opting out of marriages), homelessness, and actual trauma to name a few.

And the fact that no one cares says it all. Us men are somewhat useless, despite doing useful things. Society saying "it's not enough"...

[c=800000]no wonder patriarchy is partial to people but did it really exist?[/c]
I'm guessing you didn't even bother to Google the subject before posting
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@BlueGreenGrey And what made you think I didn't? 🤨
@xSiFiGamer2016x because you would've already answered your question
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@BlueGreenGrey Do I have to answer my own question? Because I'm asking and want to hear other people's opinions. And I have done research long before I asked this question, otherwise it wouldn't exist. 🤷🏾‍♂️
