1	Double standards regarding the "patriarchy" equality of opportunity doesn’t just happen by ignoring gender, it happens by recognising how gender has influenced opportunities in the past and actively working to remove those barriers. if we don’t acknowledge systemic issues, we end up reinforcing them rather than solving them	/r/MensRights	17/03/25 07:33 PM
2	Double standards regarding the "patriarchy" yes, personality differences exist on average, but the claim that leadership success is purely about "disagreeableness" ignores why certain traits are valued in leadership in the first place. historically, leadership structures were built around traditionally "masculine" traits like aggression, competitiveness, and dominance, because the people in power were already men. These traits were then reinforced as the "gold standard" for success. But that doesn’t mean they are inherently the best or on…	/r/MensRights	17/03/25 07:30 PM
1	Double standards regarding the "patriarchy" I never denied that men face serious issues: homelessness, suicide rates, incarceration, and addiction are all real problems. But these aren’t contradictions to patriarchy; they’re SYMPTOMS of it. many of these struggles come from societal expectations that men must be self-sufficient, emotionally stoic, and financially stable, norms that discourage seeking help and push men into riskier or more isolating situations. these harmful expectations aren’t ‘natural’, they were historically ingrained t…	/r/MensRights	17/03/25 07:24 PM
1	Double standards regarding the "patriarchy" the fact that some women uphold it (especially in conservative spaces) doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, it just shows that these norms can be internalised and reinforced by everyone. about women voting for Trump, people voting against their own interests isn't new, it isn’t proof that oppression doesn’t exist. Internalised misogyny exists, and women can (and often do) support systems that disadvantage them. It just shows how deep societal conditioning goes. plenty of women have historically suppor…	/r/MensRights	17/03/25 07:21 PM
-14	Double standards regarding the "patriarchy" the fact that both genders experience harmful expectations is exactly why patriarchy is relevant here. the patriarchy isn’t just ‘men oppressing women’, it’s a system that enforces rigid gender roles on everyone. the idea that men have to be strong providers, suppress emotions, or prove their worth through status? that all comes from a patriarchal structure that historically prioritized male dominance and power. so rejecting ‘Patriarchy Theory’ while acknowledging that men face restrictive gende…	/r/MensRights	16/03/25 08:59 PM
-19	Double standards regarding the "patriarchy" higher college graduation rates don’t automatically translate to more power. if that were the case, we’d see women dominating leadership positions, but men still hold the majority of high-paying, high-power roles. even in fields where women outnumber men in education, men often rise to top positions more easily. so while education is a factor, it doesn’t erase systemic male advantages overnight. if male advantages disappeared nearly 100 years ago, why are men still overwhelmingly in leadership p…	/r/MensRights	16/03/25 08:50 PM
-25	Double standards regarding the "patriarchy" the key reason why 'benevolent sexism' is used more often than 'benevolent misandry' is that many of the advantages women receive under patriarchy come with limiting expectations and restrictions of their autonomy. meanwhile, the advantages men get, like leadership roles or financial dominance, tend to reinforce their social power rather than restrict it. that’s why those benefits are often framed as privileges rather than as a form of sexism against men. the issue isn't that men's struggles are…	/r/MensRights	16/03/25 06:33 PM
