The word “patriarchy” is honestly a terrible term. That’s why when I write - I typically explain that patriarchy actually means “domination hierarchy.”

If you check out the work of Dr. Riane Eisler - she explains exactly where this came from.

Women have been staring in the mirror for centuries. Of course they’re furious now, and while I don’t agree with the vilification of strong emotionally vulnerable men - I certainly get where it comes from.

When will men start with the self-reflection? And when will they stop projecting their pain on us.

I personally think trying to frame it as blame on men OR women is stupid. Very divide and conquer mentality.
