RE: What is Patriarchy: a society led by men or a society led by fear and a feeling of scarcity which happens to be an environment in which the masculine takes charge?
This is fantastic! It's very telling that the generally accepted concept of equality is "allowing" the disenfranchised to participate in cishetpatriarchy and institutional racism, the mentality of "I'm not sexist or racist because I would (begrudgingly) accept a warmongering, imperialist, exploitative businesswoman of color." We must dismantle toxic masculinity in the same breath as capitalism (looking at you "an"caps) and racism, all of which stem from the patriarchal need for hierarchy and control. So long as (cw) rape culture, prison slave-labor, pervasive ableism, imperialist warmongering, homelessness and starvation persist, WE CAN AND MUST RESIST!
Thank you so very much! So lovely that someone totally gets it! And you put it so perfectly. I don't want to be "allowed" to participate in that system. I want it dismantled. I really think patriarchy is the source of it all, mostly because it's the oldest, but it has manifested in so many other disturbing avenues. I would love to read more on solutions from the an-com perspective since I don't know a lot about it. Thanks for coming over and commenting. It is very appreciated.
