[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:24 - you think patriarchy is disgusting? or you think anyone objecting to it is disgusting? it really wasn't clear.

The posters here who seems so amazed and shocked and think this is an abstract term from a college seminar with no relevance in the real world are quite something. That's why these problems endure. Most don't even question these behaviors or link them together or think they could ever be changed.

The problems are there, but describing them with jargon like "patriarchy" doesn't really help anything. It prompts the choir to say, "amen," but does not bring opponents to your side and tends to alienate those who are merely indifferent. Use every-day words to describe the problems and solutions.

Ah yes, the typical complaint leveled against women -- it's not that I'm opposed to the substance of your complaint, it's just that I don't like the way you talked about your complaint.  You didn't ask nicely enough.  You didn't offer enough detail or proof.  You didn't offer solutions that (I, the male, think) are viable.  The way you ask scares people off.

Do you not realize your response is emblematic of exactly the kind of privilege about which OP is complaining?

Are you referring to "tone policing"?

Why should you be exempt from treating people with the level of respect that you demand from others when expressing a concern? Seems a bit infantile to insist that others just grin and bear it as if their own feelings are irrelevant.[/quote]

You do not treat people with any level of respect. You just classify people by gender. Women are beyond reproach while man are the cause of all problems. You are just a sexist bigot. [/quote]
