“Men raping and abusing women is all men’s fault, because men created the patriarchy, and therefore must hold all those bad men accountable.” That’s the foundation of nearly every modern gender argument. No matter the context, no matter the nuance, it always circles back to one universal conclusion: it’s men’s fault.

When men talk about their mental health struggles, it’s brushed off with the same circular logic. “Womp womp, men created the patriarchy, so blame yourselves.” Depression, suicide, isolation, apparently, these aren’t symptoms of a system that fails both genders. They’re just karma for the invisible structure men allegedly built and now must eternally atone for.

Even when men’s pain clearly comes from social neglect or impossible standards, it still gets pinned on “other men.” The logic is bulletproof , and by bulletproof, I mean unfalsifiable. Any outcome becomes proof of patriarchy. If men oppress women, patriarchy. If men suffer under other men, still patriarchy. It’s the ultimate get-out-of-accountability-free card.

Then you have women-on-women cruelty, slut-shaming, bullying, mean-girl culture, and somehow, that too gets traced back to men. It’s not about personal responsibility or individual behavior. No, it’s “internalized misogyny.” It's the patriarchy (which men created) that is making women go against each other. It's men that put women into competition with each other. Translation: Wmen aren’t responsible for their actions because men psychologically programmed them to hate each other.

It’s impressive, really. A worldview so flexible it can twist any scenario into male guilt. Women compete with one another? Men forced them into it. Women criticize other women? That’s patriarchy brainwashing. Women hurt men? Well, men made them that way. The circular reasoning never ends because it’s designed never to.

What this ideology does is strip everyone of agency. Men are eternal villains, women eternal victims. It’s infantilizing to women and demonizing to men, but that doesn’t matter as long as the narrative feels morally satisfying. Blame is easier than balance, and victimhood sells better than self-awareness.

The funniest part? Even when women clearly cause the problem, the explanation loops back to men. It’s poetic in a way, no matter what happens, the script always ends the same: “Men did this.” It’s a belief system built for convenience, not truth, a way to moralize the world without ever looking in the mirror.
