1.) "Men Hold All the Power” – False

• Power has always been concentrated among a small elite, not "all men." The majority of men have historically been laborers, soldiers, slaves, or impoverished fathers with little to no legal or political authority. Power is fundamentally based on class, wealth, and influence rather than solely on gender.

2.) "Society Is Built to Benefit Men” – False

• Contrary to popular belief, men are disproportionately affected by war, suicide rates, and dangerous occupations—they are often viewed as disposable rather than privileged. Many systems—family courts, education, mental health services, and criminal justice—has and still disadvantage men. If society primarily benefits "men," why do the majority of homeless individuals, incarcerated persons, and those suffering from severe depression tend to be male?

3.) "Patriarchy Is a Male-Created Oppressive System” – False

• There is no strong historical evidence supporting the idea that men collectively conspired to oppress women. Instead, societal structures evolved organically from survival needs and were enforced by both sexes. Women have also played roles in maintaining gender expectations through norms like motherhood responsibilities and cultural matchmaking.

4.) "Men Have Privilege by Default” – False

• The concept of "male privilege" overlooks significant disadvantages faced by men: mandatory military service for men only; longer prison sentences; increased workplace fatalities; and insufficient support for male victims of domestic violence. Privilege derives from status—not merely gender.

5.) “Feminism Seeks Equality” – Often False in Practice

• Throughout history feminism has frequently neglects issues affecting men such as high suicide rates and educational disparities. Modern discourse tends to promote victim narratives while vilifying masculinity and overlooking men's challenges. Identity politics often supplants genuine equality with division and blame.

6.) "Men Created Gender Roles to Control Women” – False

• Gender roles originated primarily out of survival needs within tribal contexts rather than a deliberate effort to exert control over women. Over time these roles became more rigid due to institutional evolution—both genders contributed to the perpetuation of these roles.

7.) "Patriarchy is a Global, Timeless System” – Once Again, False

• Historically, numerous matriarchal or matrilineal societies have existed alongside more balanced gender models across cultures. As feminists define it, patriarchy is not a universal phenomenon and fails to capture the complexity of global gender dynamics.

In conclusion, injustice cannot be attributed solely to "men" or "women." Instead A small elite class—comprised of both men and women—controls narratives and institutions while reinforcing divisions along gender lines (e.g., feminist vs MRA), race, and religion—thus preventing collective action against true sources of injustice. This is not merely a conspiracy; it reflects an enduring historical pattern where power seeks perpetual self-preservation—from ancient empires through modern democracies. Feminist patriarchy theory offers an oversimplified ideological framework that overlooks essential aspects like class dynamics, historical context, biology, and the suffering endured by men. It often substitutes complex truths with scapegoating narratives: "Men are bad; women are oppressed." The reality is that systems oppress people—not simply based on gender but on various interconnected fact
