Witches VS Patriarchy

There are two different issues addressed: patriarchy and capitalism.

Capitalism is the reason why so many men are failing (it was mentioned before, homelessness, education, drug addiction, college and university drop outs …). Women are doing better in these areas because most of them have better networks and more friends, they are simply better in socialising.

Capitalism leads inevitably to a small group of wealthy people financed by most of the people. Men have a harder time to deal with not being part of the wealthy group.

Patriarchy promises men that they are better than women, they deserve more and better options than women.

The structure of capitalism was shaped by patriarchy, that’s true.

Why do you think women’s rights are taken away more and more? It’s because women are doing better in capitalism than men. Sure, they never get to the top positions because of patriarchy, but in general they are doing better in this system.

Rush Limbaugh once held up two newspaper clippings side by side - in one, women wanted to go topless downtown, in the other women were complaining about men staring at them. He made funny faces and asked, "Why can't these women make up their minds???" Cuz they're not the same women, dipshit. Anyway, kinda the same concept.

this is a cartoon understanding of partriarchy

Almost as if just a certain class of men created the system.

No, the current class society is dominated and shaped by the bourgeois (business owners/capitalists) and not some evil collective gender cabal. It's in the interests of this ruling class to oppress women, given how they can pay them less, have them stay at home raising children for free via unpaid labor who them grow up to being workers to have surplus value extracted from, and therefore exploited in the future. These future workers can be both men and women, and they're getting fisted regardless of one's gender.

Removing this class element from women's struggle and making it solely about one's gender is genuinely harmful, as it makes others blind to the true cause of the oppression.

Rich men created the system. They’re doing absolutely fine. Patriarchy has always been about class, fundamentally.

Where exactly are men falling behind?
