[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PP who said the term patriarchy or feminism can alienate, but this thread did mention the problems and posted links to a few articles about them.

- caregiving disparities - balance between grudge work and fun 
- default parent responsibilities (responsibility for thinking through everything that needs to be done for children and/or family)
- collection of biases in the workplaces that are subtle but prevent women's advancement (tightrope between being perceived as nice or competent) that make it difficult for women to advance at work or deal with work/family challenges

And that doesn't even touch on the ways that men and women typically deal with dating and relationships before starting a family. Women typically spend a huge amount of time and energy worrying about and trying to attract men for the gratification of male attention and often ultimately to start a family.

Of course there are individual men who are emotionally vulnerable and have heartbreak. But then there are so many -- including in this thread -- who would say we wouldn't even be that nice except we want sex. Or think it's funny to needle the OP with sexual taunting. Geesh.

It's strange to me that more people don't step back and question . . . all of it. That doesn't mean hating men or assuming each individual one is "bad." It's very jargony and abstract perhaps to emphasis this - but it's the _culture_ that's the problem. These behaviors are the result of it.[/quote]
