Beyond the marginal monetary gain, “free” rides or “free” food, women really do not benefit much from the patriarchy. Men hold onto the power that the patriarchy gives them because losing it will slowly start to pull the wool out of people’s eyes and reveal the truth - that most men really do not possess inherent value. So by maintaining this artificial air of superiority, they are able to fool billions of people and assign themselves privileges that they should not have.

If you live in a patriarchal culture, which lets be honest, a lot of us do. And yes, this includes even women living in the western world. Basically, if you live in the world as a woman, always feel free to use men and their resources to the best of your advantage.

A woman’s strategy in the dating world should always be focused on what brings her the most benefit. You should never come out of an interaction with a male and feel like you lost out. Whether it’s money, free trips, free rides, resources, access to high scale networking that can upgrade your position in the corporate world, relationships, marriages…do not be afraid to take what you want. Because these men sure as hell don’t care who they affect in the process of using you for their own benefit. They have historically done it for centuries and based on the variety of “pill” movements, seem to want to continue to do it.

This isn’t some Kumbaya type shit. We’re not here to play around. Babygirl, you either get what you want or you get out. If you’re caught up acting the fool, they will take you for a fool and disrespect you accordingly.

The reason why a lot of men nowadays struggle in the dating world is because beyond money, many of them simply don’t have anything to offer. And now that women are able to make their own money, the true uselessness of men is being revealed. So if it’s money he’s offering, or equivalent benefits, take it. And when there’s opportunity to take more, even from multiple men, go ahead and indulge. And you’ll find that once you’ve striped past all the layers and facade of their resources, there’s nothing left there but an empty, decaying barrel. Feel free to leave that for the birds to pick at. Your work there is done.
