RE: My Fear of Women : Why It Existed, How I'm Letting Go
hey, i'm trans too! definitely lots to think about in this piece, and super mega thanks to @dragonanarchist for taking the time to share it.
i'm not sure how y'all feel about social theories about power and gender like feminism or patriarchy or cultural hegemony, but i spend a lot of time thinking about them, and it's apparent to me that school doesn't have to be this way, and neither does pop culture/media, like dragon mentions in the post. instead, these places become the sites where larger dynamics play out and are reproduced.
really fascinating to think about. thanks again for breaking it open, dragon!
No such thing as patriarchy, the world does not favor men over women and men did not create this world alone. The biggest mistake of feminism is thinking that the pressure to make money somehow equals power or sovereignty.
Feminism can exist without oppression but it can't exist without an oppressor. It makes people think in terms of abusers vs abused. At the core of feminism, it doesn't matter which wave, there's the belief that men keep women down to stay on top. This mentality not only causes resentment which makes conversation difficult between the parties, but it also couldn't be further from the truth.
Patriarchy is a lie and a dangerous one, don't fall for feminism.
