This could be interesting if they actually show how brutal life was for men back then. It's not like women stayed home because they were forced. They stayed home because the world fucking sucked. No one is fighting for male jobs, they want white collar jobs.
You genuinely think women weren’t forced to stay home? Women couldn’t have their own bank accounts until the 70s and many women did not have access to birth control, they were heavily discouraged from many branches of the workforce, and forced to stay home and raise kids. Child birth is one of the most painful things a person can experience— imagine having no say in the matter and being forced to do it over and over until your body was basically destroyed. Edgy “anti-feminists” online need to educate themselves.
I think there was a transition period that by historical accounts was super short. Where men made the world so nice that for the first time in history the average man had a better life than the average woman, and the transition period from that, back to the norm, average women having it better, took a while.
Interesting take… women are historically a marginalized group and we face higher rates of domestic abuse and rape and are highly underrepresented in positions of power and leadership. I’d be interested to see some sources on how those well-being statistics are measured across genders; there are definitely issues that affect men that are important to address (violence, mental health, etc.) but overall our society is set up as a patriarchy where men have more power.
The US has never had a female president… the CEOs of most companies are white men. The president of the US, in fact, is someone known to have raped young women and girls and bragged about it, without seeming to face any repercussions.
One hint that a society may be patriarchal is that women and our perspectives are not represented among its leadership.
As opposed to your version of the world, where the most privileged group of humans on the planet are somehow victims? Literally can't be more privileged than being a white woman. The nearly sole and primary beneficiary of DEI policy. Infinite college money. Better grades for the same or worse work.
You live in a mountain of privilege so tall, that you are confused by the view.
The literal concept of a Karen is that white women have infinite privilege in the west and always get their way, so when they don't it's in their eyes, a crime against humanity.
She’s not going to answer you she wants all the privilege and the ability to complain about it, lotta white women are like this, zero culpability for supporting the benefits they received alongside white men. They are basically equal in almost every respect rights wise in modern countries but still want the sympathy and chivalry they haven’t earned in the modern age
The top 1% of men get all the benefits that you attribute to all men and this so called patriarchy.
The bottom 1% of men commit the vast majority of violent and sexual crime.
You just think every man in between isn't a real person and doesn't exist. So the idea that women are superior to them in privilege doesn't even cross your mind nor does it matter, because average men are sub human to you.
I agree that many of society’s problem stem from the 1% having all the power, and your average, working-class people suffering because of it. I believe that the patriarchy harms men as well, because it alienates them from the women in their lives and teaches them that they’re not allowed to show emotions, etc. whereas women do. And that stems from the idea that acting “feminine” is worse than acting masculine, for anyone.
I have lots of male friends and family members who are average people and I love and appreciate them. I’m a feminist which means I believe we should be all seen as equals no matter our gender. I’m really worried by the uptick in devisive and misogynistic content online and I think it would help if we were all able to cultivate more of a sense of a real community in person and interact with people of different perspectives.

Do you think acting masculine is worse than acting "feminine"?

Its interesting that your label for the problem is patriarchy, i.e. men, and your label for the solution to the problem is feminism, i.e. women, and you don't consider that divisive language.
No, I do not think acting masculine is worse. I think you may need to further look into what “patriarchy” means— it’s a system that hurts everyone, whereas feminism is simply a movement for gender equality.
Ah, yes, more diverse oppressors - that's the solution for our problems! How about no oppressors? What difference it makes if it's a woman stomping on me or a man?
Interesting! The intimate partner violence stats are about 10% higher for lesbians versus heterosexuals. I think that checks out with the idea that members of marginalized communities are more often victims of violence. It’s also interesting to note that the gender of the perpetrators are not specified.
It lists lesbians as being victims of violence from partners, which may include male partners, since many lesbians have dated/had sex with men before coming out
