That divisive mere statement gives light to the oppression women face at the hands of men and that is a historical fact.

Women needing a man to make a baby is a biological fact. I had meant in areas that can be considered social.

The ability to speak freely is a human right, that still doesn’t undermine oppression and microaggressions that women face for doing so.

What I had meant is that if men are going “rise” with us in overthrowing the patriarchy and come together, then they must be up to par with feminism. But will they risk that? Will they risk their own desires as feminists critique? The reason I am projecting is that these are very popular factors that many commit. Are you up to par with withholding that for female liberation?

Patriarchy helps put the issue of sex based violence and oppression for women into light, and it also doesn’t exclude how it affects men and our roles in society. If you see something more bigger than that, okay, but the patriarchy is a label that may just be an extension of that.

Are you opposed to BLM?

Your grammar is confusing.

Men are oppressed by women and society too. And children are too. We all face microaggressions. I get microaggressions from my male neighbour, and I'm male, so who's the patriarchy? It's all part of life. Don't be a victim. It wins you nothing.

I would agree to be on par with a rational feminism (not the CIA engineered 2nd to 4th waves). I would hope you would too. There are nutjob feminists just as there are nutjob MGTOW and Incels. I would LOVE to see rational people, feminists and men's rights and children's rights folks find their common ground, put aside their differences for a bit, and unify for common goals against the oppressive media, government, industry, banks, academia, etc. - the corporatocracy.

I will never give up my right to critique (not just against women but men and other tribes and groups, not just the bad but also critically analyse the good to learn from it and maybe improve it), but I will also be happy to collaborate for a common good.

I don't understand why I must "withhold" or why anyone should be denied anything.

Time to move off dwelling on sex-based violence. I have NEVER hit a woman, but I've had many take that liberty on me. Violence is a relationship killer in my book. Domestic violence is 60% 40% yet men don't have shelters. Why? That's not a patriarchy. That the manipulation of the masses by the ruling class.

I am opposed to SJWs and BLM because they have been weaponized by the ruling class' corporatocracy from originally being based on good intentions. I am all in favour of social justice and for Black lives to matter, as well as all others, though I certainly will recognize that Black people have had a terribly rough time through history for many reasons. From Jewish slave masters to Southern oppression to the terrible things unleashed by the Clinton presidency to the engineered crashes of 2008 and 2020. There is good reason for them to be upset, but there is no good reason to commit crimes when they could be more effectively organizing with ACTUAL proper demands - but the corporatocracy won't allow that.
