I would consider myself to be a feminist, though very critical of it, because I believe in a version of ideal feminism. But I cannot pretend as if that ideal version of feminism is how it looks in practice. I see a lot of women try to destroy the patriarchy only when it benefits them. But when it comes to taking on the negative aspects of being a man, I KNOW they don't want to take it, because most times, they don't even acknowledge it to exist. They might make a half hearted attempt at acknowledging it, by saying "the patriarchy is bad for everyone," but then make no effort to dismantle the negative aspects of patriarchy for men.

“The Patriarchy Hurts Everyone” but men still receive all the blame, as if our species and society were no co-created by women and men. That very concept, to me, seems like a byproduct of patriarchal thinking.
