  • Patriarchy isn’t “men bad”, it’s a social system that places men and women into predetermined, rigid boxes. This harms both men and women, since none of us are as rigid as the system demands us to be.

    “Boys don’t wear pink”

    “Girls play with dolls”

    “Men don’t cry”

    “Women who dress ‘that way’ deserve it”

    All of those are patriarchy reinforcing statements. Again, this harmful belief that “men shouldn’t have feelings” and them then bring rejected by women due to opening up is, on a macro level, due to the patriarchy. On an individual level, they’re just people being assholes to their loved ones.
