    Ok, let me rephrase. You aren’t going to accept that talking about the patriarchy is anything other than feminist and centering women.

      Talking about the patriarchy is feminism. Feminism necessarily centers women, or it’s not really feminism, degraded into an all-encompassing ideology devoid of its intended purpose.

      (PETA isn’t feminism just because it can invoke the language of oppression.)

      So yes, I advance this notion that talking about the patriarchy in a topic about male pain is centering feminism and therefore centering women. I don’t see that this should be controversial.

      Except, of course, to those who universalize feminism into a cure-all ideology, which is shorthand for broken thinking which diverts feminism from its purpose.

      You can’t fix men with feminism: that’s an incoherent idea.

          Spoken like a person whose sense of virtue has been offended. Your ideology has failed you because it stopped being a tool and became an ideology.

          Sorry but feminists have trash takes too!
