I understand the foundational concepts to the patriarchy idea and accept that some people who believe it can draw the distinction. My point remains that most do not. Including this video author who felt comfortable titling the video as they did. Even in the paper this video apparently references the paper starts with addressing the patriarchy and rapidly goes from that to pointing solely to “white men” as being the focal point of the issue/paper.
I think that claiming there is absolutely no patriarchy or patriarchal element to society is disingenuous at best. That aside I think it is looked to as the sole reason or even the main reason for a lot of issues without cause and little to no scientific reasoning. If the world switch to being a matriarchy tomorrow it’d still be business as usual because it’d be women CEOs/interest group/corporate entities making billions in blood money instead. Trying to pin all of societies woes on the patriarchy just does not seem in anyway conductive to the larger issue in this context, which is climate change. Especially when it does so on shoddy papers like the one referenced in the video.
Lmfao

you being to scared to challenge your bias by actually looking up and finding said research doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

But not really, this is a typical display of projection where a member of an oppressive group projects their way of thinking (there must be oppressors and oppressed) on to those seeking equality (hint: no one oppresses no one).

only because it make you sooooo damn uncomfortable you can’t even seem to hear anything past the word “patriarchy” to take in the points it’s making, without cantering your own hurt feelings at being generalised “against” (boo fucking hoo) and getting ^^^this self defensive. If hearing bad things about the patriarchy hit such a massive nerve for you, have you ever considered fighting it, instead of those trying to abolish it?
You are literally the child with their fingers in their ears and eyes shut yelling LALALALALALALLALA at the top of their lungs to avid hearing that broccoli is good for them 🤣🤣
You’re literally demonstrating the problem, but you so adamantly refuse to even acknowledge said problem, you’ll never be able to even comprehend how.
