Go work at the dirtiest, most dangerous job that will kill you 13 X more. Receive less educational and health care dollars. Subsidize women financially. Receive harsher verdicts in courts and in case of divorce lose access to your own kids. Congratulations. You are a member of the Patriarchy.

Aaah~ the Male Privilege(tm)

manicraccoon · 2021-09-24T14:39:47+00:00

Dang. I shouldn't have given away my Patriarchy card.

disayle32 · 2021-09-24T14:43:14+00:00

Get mutilated as a baby, then get a letter from the government when you turn 18 saying that you will be forced into the military if it's ever deemed "necessary". Damn, who wouldn't love this patriarchy?

PigTenis · 2021-09-24T14:40:34+00:00

But hey, majority of CEO's are men and nearly all presidents! You should feel the privilege! /s

wdean8358 · 2021-09-24T15:08:09+00:00

When women say they want to fight patriarchy, they are only concerned with the parts of it which is an inconvenience to them. Rest all be damned!

neos7m · 2021-09-24T15:24:01+00:00

Go work at the dirtiest, most dangerous job that will kill you 13x more. Also get paid 4x more (that is, more than 3x less than what you'd expect). Hear some feminist complain about the wage gap because you get paid 4x more than her.

KneeDeepThought · 2021-09-24T14:04:27+00:00

Sometimes it's useful to keep an eye on atrocities in the middle east and the -stan countries. Then you can accurately say to anyone claiming differently 'if we lived in a patriarchy you would not be allowed to say it without severe reprisals' like in Egypt, Yemen, Pakistan, etc.

Not many pink pussy hats marching for equality in Kabul, are there? Why? Because in a real patriarchy they just flat out kill you for that shit.

CyclopeWarrior · 2021-09-24T13:29:21+00:00

Yeah and when women become old spinsters perfectly capable to keep working, they want more government aid just to exist because they never needed men.

Parents (mostly Fathers) turned into visitors by the state of their children, by the state, in an instant.

Map: Father/Child Percentage Each State

Reframe this issue when speaking with people about it. Ex: How Much Time do your sons get with their children? How much time do paternal grandmothers and grandfathers get to spend with their grandchildren?

Support Equal Sharing 50/50 Custody groups in your state. We have to let sunshine in on this problem. Divorce is a $60 BILLION /year industry. Child Support too. Call reps. Be relentless so our future generations will not have their lives destroyed by a corrupt system that is being taken advantage of do tear children away from fathers and destroy families. The system NEEDS conflict between parents to feed it the $$

Some Stats:

70% of all divorces are initiated by women per American Sociological Association (ASA)2015

Fathers 'Awarded' Custody Time State by State

WorldController · 2021-09-24T16:28:57+00:00

Some idiot I debated recently claimed that women's advantage in family court is rooted in Christian values regarding their role as the nurturing, stay-at-home parent. Basically, they attributed women's privilege here to patriarchy. 🤦‍♂️

Ensifror · 2021-09-25T02:05:09+00:00

Women are the only "oppressed" group in all of history who have

A. Never managed to overthrow their oppressors, which means if they are oppressed , they'd pretty much have to be inferior by definition. Otherwise they'd have overthrown men millennia ago.

B. Always lived longer, more comfortable lives than their oppressors on average. And historically have had a significantly higher chance of successfully reproducing.

C. Always had a protected status in human society. Evidenced by the fact that they're smaller and weaker than men, which means being large enough for self defense was not evolutionarily advantageous.

DiamondDallasHands · 2021-09-24T17:40:31+00:00

The patriarchy hurts men too

Ok then quit getting angry at me about it then.

Cindylynn43 · 2021-09-24T19:38:52+00:00

The more I have learned from Men's Right's, the more I am disgusted by my own gender. The feminist are raving lunatics. It is sad that instead of equality it is double standards. They say equality, until it doesn't serve them. I might have been sucked into their movement had they demanded that Men have equal rights in child custody, alimony, criminal sentencing, domestic violence along with a ton more issues. Instead they treat Men like they're disposable. Men deserve so much more respect and equality. The fact of the matter is that without Men, the world would be screwed. It's easier for the feminists to claim they can do the same work as Men, but I don't see too many of them offering to take on the dangerous, or physically grueling professions. I stand with Men's Right's even though I am a Woman. I hope that is alright with those on this sub.

bludragon355 · 2021-09-24T18:44:26+00:00

Don't forget that it's still completely legal to mutilate male genitals.

GivePuppiesBazookas · 2021-09-24T21:42:56+00:00

My friend who has a now 8 year old boy has to live with his mother in basically a closet because his support is MORE than he makes in a month because they based it off an old job where he did well and they do not adjust for current income. COVID last year made him lose a job and be forced to take anything to pay JUST child support.

That's not even the worst of it, he is suppose to have his son every weekend for 48 hours (2 nights), he has not seen his son in over a year because mama bear won't let him, and this is AFTER she moved out of state with the child (illegal in TX when child custody is involved). So this woman doe snot honor court order to let him have his son 8 nights a month and she also broke the law moving out of state for a while (she is back now). She got in zero trouble, and he is being threatened with jail time because he can't make full payments every time.

Men and women are in two completely different court systems just like the rich and poor, black people and white people. Theme with all 3 of these, they heavily favor one over the other almost religiously. The only X factor is how much money you got for a stud attorney who ALSO has a great relationship with that specific judge you were assigned.

LoveHotelCondom · 2021-09-25T02:22:07+00:00

I've said it before: if you gave a feminist a week to live as a poor man, she would beg and scream for her old life back within a day.

Then she'd go back to crying about the patriarchy.

Get drafted in the military exclusively without your consent.

IAintDeceasedYet · 2021-09-24T19:59:04+00:00

When I'm in a more humorous mood, it always strikes me as funny that the pro women narrative is that we were completely hopelessly dominated for thousands of years by a group of people so inept at domination and oppression they constantly and consistently "backfired" that oppression onto themselves.

Like damn. You'd think any group powerful and organized enough to do this would do it...better? If you're strong enough to beat the entire combined force of women, and organized enough to get all men to contribute to and maintain this system, why tf would you do such a shit job of eliminating all your burdens?

Dry_Road3545 · 2021-09-25T00:36:38+00:00

What is this job?

Canttakethewhyfromme · 2021-09-24T15:28:55+00:00

Stop waving your privilege around like that! I am feeling threatened!

Slow-Brush · 2021-09-24T18:45:02+00:00

My friend have lost everything to his ex wife, included his kids, house, dog, etc. What's worst, she doesn't make him see the kids. Something is definitely wrong with the system.

Dr-Plague-Channel · 2021-09-24T14:59:20+00:00

So women want to destroy the patriarchy... does that mean everything in that sentence is going the opposite direction????

Matthew351111 · 2021-09-25T00:01:00+00:00

Add ontop of this the reality that we unlike women can't rely on the opposite sex to support us and shelter us. Men still have to do that for the most part! We either sink or swim as men. We do this even with the fact that women start 80% of divorces typically resulting in them taking away our children in those divorces and many of us don't have the help of our children to stay afloat as many men don't have a solid relationship with their own children. These divorces also destroy us financially and greatly enhance the women. We as men don't get anywhere near the help from the government compared to women. This is food help, shelters, etc

Men either be successful or we're screwed.

neu-kid-here · 2021-09-25T02:19:27+00:00

Chit has to stop!

Could easily start with Fathers rights and the abusive courts. A few dead judges would be a good start!

That last two days of post….I’m suddenly into only men.

My life happiness would increase 10x, based on the very informed posts about how men don’t expect to be served but serve and we would be equals in the law.

MjKoby · 2021-09-25T02:04:02+00:00

The classic response to this is: “But this system is created by men, it’s mans fault society is like this.” Well then why are you complaining about the patriarchy in the first place? 1 mans choice doesn’t speak for all of us.

Historical-Ad6120 · 2021-09-24T15:51:42+00:00

...these all seem like things we can prevent by promoting human rights in the form of labor rights (so you don't die in the oil field), universal healthcare (so no one needs to depend on a man having a job to seek attention), gender equality (to not automatically lose kids + half during a divorce) and all that.

The patriarchy isn't just hurting women. It's upholding all these ideals that also hurt men. "Work 15 hours a day to provide for your family" is the patriarchy talking. It sounds like...men should also want to take down the patriarchy. Let women take some of the expectations off the plate.

kidkhaos1982 · 2021-09-25T07:21:14+00:00

I'm just still looking for that thing under the couch.

Politicians are hypocrites if they say there should be no sexism or human rights violations.

Well said.

Lol you're such a victim. Is this a sub about having your head up your own ass?

some_dum_user4334 · 2021-09-25T03:00:00+00:00

You seem to misunderstand the concept of the patriarchy. To say that the patriarchy is comprised of rich white men is factual. To say that all rich white men are 'part of the patriarchy' is not.

I can almost guarantee that OP is not part of the patriarchy, dispite their gender and race. Yes, the patriarchy' is brutal towards men too. That's the point. The ruling class treats lower class men as disposable both in war and work. That's how the cycle of money and power continues.

Even if you 'have money' you are not part of the ruling class. There are about 20 MILLION millionaires in America so that's not special. You and I and everyone on this sub aren't part of the club. Dismantling the patriarchy also benefits men in general.

Fighting amongst ourselves and with women (you know the other HALF of the population) is what those with power want. We shouldn't be falling for it, nor be triggered into reacting to false targets on our backs.

I hope OP looks into these topics more. OP isn't the enemy of society, nor should he feel like he is.

Women and feminism are responsible for the issues of our society here at r/mensrights

What do you mean there are companies behind shitty working conditions or deep routed issues with the legal system, it’s women’s fault, feminism is the devil of fucking course.
