In their minds, the boogeyman in their closet will always be able to beat up the one in ours.

Any time someone gives the "sure patriarchy hurts men, but it hurts women more, so we can't focus on the men right now" bit, don't disagree about who has it worse. Instead, agree and amplify.

"You're right, and since minority women have it worse than white women, as a white woman you really shouldn't be complaining about your own problems, you should instead let your issues go on the back burner and focus on being an ally to minority women. And as a member of Western society which oppresses third world countries and engages in economic exploitation, you have many privileges not held by third world minority women, so we'll get to closing that wage gap once all the third world countries reach a first world standard of living."

there's one key flaw in the patriarchy argument i will never understand.
if "Patriarchy" is a society that is set up to benefit men and oppress women, then it's not doing a very good job of benefiting men. it's not a very effective patriarchy if there even is such a thing (which there isn't).
if anything i would say society is set up to the benefit of the very rich, which is more of a plutocracy. yeah, so the wealthiest people seem to be men, but the main factor isn't gender, it's wealth.
