What do you think is the source of gender stereotypes imposed on us?

What is the Patriarchy other than an excuse to blame men for everything though?

It is a dehumanizing term just like "toxic masculinity". Something misandrists tell themselves so they can sleep at night: "We aren't fighting men, we are fighting the patriarchy, it can't hurt innocent men. They don't understand it but they will thank us one day. We have to fight the patriarchy until they understand"

The term “patriarchy” needs to go. By design it stops complicated conversations about power and gender dynamics. The reason there weren’t more women leading is basic evolutionary biology. From an evolutionary point of view, women evolved to birth and raise kids, men evolved to hunt and protect. Later on the hunt and protect “build” went on to be the ones waging wars, which is where almost all of our government structures evolved from. Chiefs became kings became emperors became presidents.

Apparently it all began with the chivalric codes developed by Eleanor of Aquitaine IIRC

A lot of stereotypes which harm men come from patriarchy, but patriarchy has become a term to villainise men and hold them responsible for everything. Any conversation regarding men problems with any feminist person leds to inevitable, "its all your fault".

I have just started calling it "society" or "societal norms" to not throw responsibility at any specific group.

Uniformity. Reference models and general patterns are one thing, and they are good guideline for most people, but pressure for uniformity without leaving room for individual personalities, talents, etc. is a problem. Like, treating statistical generalizations as binding prescripts. Or people's problems with simplificaton — essentially, bounded rationality and the excessive use of simplified heuristics to make the thinking easier — and the desire to have a key to all men or all men by treating them like a monolith and expecting them to all act the same, in order to eliminate individual interaction, individual comprehension, individuality in general maybe.

They are convenient enough for those who are able to benefit from them.

I think imperialism still reinforces the conscription culture. Men are still viewed as cannon fodder.

Perhaps gender-balanced or matriarchal imperialist government would do the same.

Being a leftist who utterly rejects patriarchy theory is....let's just say I tend to pick my battles very carefully.

It seems that being leftist/progressive automatically comes with the adoption of patriarchy theory in your worldview. Even the people I see eye to eye with most just buy into it wholesale.

It's exhausting.

Biological Predispositions disseminated down to social norms and are reinforced into stereotypes and roles.

The Patriarchy is how elites influence control culture through power. They control everything that everyone uses and so they influence the direction of culture and do so to benefit themselves and as it’s passed down it’s reinforced.

It’s really an Oligarchy but men were the majority power throughout history therefore it’s called as such.
