Rules/Structure are falsely equated with masculinity and that's why the patriarchy isn't real.

I'm going to keep this as simple as possible but it will still be overly complicated.

I have always found value in the yin-yang and ideas of balancing forces. Feminism in my mind is a yin imbalance- erratic and destructive because it hates a part of yang - which is stability and form.

In Taoism, the Yang is similar to the ruler whereas Yin is feminine. In the secret of the golden flower which is a much older manuscript Jung translated that essentially the ego could be equated to this one who makes rules and stabilizes.

However, the heart can be corrupted and herein lies the problem. These same rules - in society they appear to us as bureaucratic influences - have typically been manipulated by those in power, and yes these people have been predominantly human men, that part isn't really in question.

That's why we can point fingers and say - look! Women do bad things do! They exploit the system! Of course they do, but regardless of any discussion on the topic we fail to recognize that rules and structure lean slightly more toward Yang and the masculine, and we faslely equate that with physical form when it is actually a psychological imbalance in the structure of society itself

Feminism came as a rebellion to the corrupted and tyranical oppression that began growing in higher levels of government. We see the effects of this because of the violent destruction of our planet, the way that so many politicians behave with disgusting greed and ambivalence toward the suffering of others - there is no compassion, or love, because the feminine has been so repressed by government and rules which are meant to provide safety, love, stability, peace, fertile lands and generous societies where people have abundance and equal opportunity.

This association with Yin-Yang can also be attributed to what we see with the men's rights activists and on the subreddit here on Reddit. I notice that there are men there who try to use that subreddit to get validation for bad behaviour yet when scrutinized behave entitled to acceptance. Luckily that community is still fairly rational but because it's polarized it invites that sort of manipulation.

When outsiders find communities like that they don't take them seriously to heart anyway and mock men for getting "emotional", by expressing there suffering because we as men tend to express suffering through our experience and not through direct communication. It is something more understood through silence.

Every societal injustice that Feminism identifies is a corruption caused by a history of yang (in this sense, beaurocratic structures that have oppressed not just WOMEN but rather yinful qualities as a whole - which is why male artists like poets and musicians also have been pushed to the edge of society.

"The Patriarchy" seems to be perceived in the minds of the feminist collective as some big bad ruler and so all rules and regulations in society are associated with oppression.

People don't trust being "controlled" that way because they have been so exploited by "trusting the system", so any sense of restrictions "I need you to do this..." are met with petulant resistance.

We say "well it was mostly men who built the Patriarchy" and that's true in a physical sense but really that's not a useful way to look at it because that is what as enabled women and society at all to HATE men. That's also why we are seeing a re-emergence of trad wife behavior because it's a reaction to the imbalance occuring. These women are saying "no, I want loving support and structure, I want to be feminine, caring and nurtering", and those who hate that see the reflection of darker aspects of yang imbalance - "you want us to become sex slaves! Objects!" etc.

The world as I see it is lacking something critical today and that is altruistic leadership. That's why the world is falling apart, everything is out of balance because as we built society we allowed yang attributes to run unchecked and create greed and destruction which reflects itself within the femine.

So the Patriarchy was never a thing. It was a misnomer and created a massive distraction from the real issue which has been beaurocratic installations fortifying their systems making impossible for bureaucracy and government to even function. As feminists go on complaining and bitching about men they keep men afraid, hesitant and unwilling to contribute their skills and abilities to help them. They withdraw from society in many ways - as young men are now, and as men have been for a while.

If society (namely feminists and their vagina drying white knights) stopped blaming MEN, started blaming RULES and those who MAKE THE RULES. Men who have left society to preserve their own dignity would be more willing to return and real social change could occur.

Change my fucking view.
