Do you believe a patriarchy exists? Why or why not?

Thegreatestanus · 2022-02-08T20:18:51+00:00

In the original use of the word, absolutely not.

The theory of patriarchy existing today is also trash, claiming that men oppress women in gender class warfare is a joke. women had rights to own property before slaves were freed, women even had the rights to own slaves. There were also many women entrepreneurs and authors during the 1st couple waves of feminism.

The modern version of patriarchy theory is an excuse from the victim mentality for its ill perceived inadequacies as a human being.

I think it does exist just not in western culture. Women are strongly encouraged to be independent. Now more than ever. They have all the same rights as men do. The problem is, biologically men and women are significantly different and a lot of people don’t want to admit the differences between men and women when in fact we should, as our differences balance each other out. Where men lack maternally, women make up for it. Where women lack in assertion, men make up for it. We’re two sides of the same coin. There is nothing wrong with claiming men are better than women in certain areas and vice versa. Just don’t let it turn into hate.

the "Patriarchy" does NOT exist ... it is a scapegoat mechanism like the made-up, imaginary "Jewish W0rld Conspiracy" the Nazis invented to justify their atrocities
feminists use the same methods as fascists: propaganda, changing the language, changing the laws, controlling the narrative in mass media ... it's a huge brain washing campaign ... where they proclaim that their work towards a "greater good" ... the truth is, that it is a supremacy movement

the Nazis were the first to use mass media to brainwash whole nations ... they proclaimed that Jewish people are "privileged" (sounds familiar?) ... that their wealth is gained by oppressing Germans and stealing from society ... they invented words like "Dolchstosslegende" and "Jew1sh W0rld Conspiracy" to build up imaginary legends without any proof ... in the end the whole German nation was convinced to act in self defense when they started to get rid of them ... that's when the murders started

feminists know no boundaries (like the Nazis) when it comes to denounce men: statistics / facts have proven their narrative to be lies over and over again ... still they are believed because they repeat them constantly in every mass media they can while trying to silence any critique ...

they have already created a dystopian world where the US uses 25% of their GDP (look it up) on welfare. Women as a group get more money from the government than they pay in taxes, leaving only men to pay into the tax pool ... huge chunks of it are redistributed to women to finance their single mother lifestyle. Husbands and divorced have always been just payslaves working on the plantations of their wives. But now it's also the single men, all of them already pay (via taxes) alimony to women the have never met and child support for children they did not father. Feminists want to turn motherhood into a paid job ... the money for this will be stripped from all men collectively either direct, by alimony, by child support, by taxes or by locking them up in prisons and exploiting their labor. We already do this to some extend. It will only get worse from here if we don't fight it.

The problem is the word is corrupted now.

There a society led by men but designed to maximize female protection to increase population. It doesn't oppress women it protects them. Feminists are actively destroying it and devastating population growth. Women grow more and more miserable.

Call it what you will

No, because I don't believe in conspiracies.

Edit: by "patriarchy" I mean a society built to benefit men and/or to oppress women.

Absolutely not, every single drop of power men posses was earnt with hard work and risk taking while women were comfortably protected in the house.
''Patriarchy'' implies men posses power just because they are men, without any merit process.
For every female gender roles there is and was a male gender role.

The word doesn't mean shit anymore. Ask 3 feminists what it means and you will get 3 different answers, none of which apply to reality.

Define "a Patriarchy"

nacho-chonky · 2022-02-09T03:34:12+00:00

We are in a world run by an extremely small percent of men that benefit, only the rich and powerful and politicians benefit, the rest of men do not benefit from our system in the slightest. If we lived in a patriarchal society men would actually receive some sort of benefit but we do not.

astra_of_life · 2022-02-09T00:27:52+00:00

No patriarchy was never existed.

Women in all class are more privileged than men. Feminist always give an excuse and false info Eg In history witch hunting was a thing , by this statement the are implying to female witches but in reality more male witches were killed than female one .

And even if u see in matriarchal society the roles were same . Even it was worse for men because women there use men as meat shield and spermbank. That's why we don't see many matriarchal societies because it is a living hell for men .

No. It’s as real as Santa. It’s a made up boogie man invented by feminists to blame everything on they don’t like. It’s also a convenient buffer that stops them short of openly saying they hate men.

Yes, the matriarchy and patriarchy both exist. Some countries are more matriarchal and some are more patriarchal. I would say in the West there is definitely a power struggle between the two.

Define "the patriarchy" and I'll attempt an answer. Clear definition needed first.
