A patriarchy can only exist if it benefits men in literally any way. But this fictional fantasy that patriarchy exists is getting old real quick especially because its used as a shield in every single forum or post about a man ranting about male issues. The top 0.0001% of men don't represent 99% of men you see on streets im so tired of people assuming our lives are easier. But male only issues are constantly downplayed by comments its actually fcking insane how badly people want men to still have the image of "having such easy lives, sigh"

Would love to see the day men dont have to be forced to go to war, expected to sacrifise for women, expected to be dominant, expected to only do romantic gestures while women dont, expected to make first move, cant look or act feminine in any way, cant be expressive, gotta be stoic or ppl think ur gay, expected to never be a victim and man up 247 and if you have trauma its your fault somehow and etc and etc.

Im exhausted of pretending like social norms arent against men and that ALOT of the problems men are having arent gendered.
