inasmuch as most leftists rn are willing to admit that women are oppressed on the basis of being women, they really really really want you to name men as an equally victimized class. and of course you cannot acknowledge men as a class of people who benefit from women's oppression!

so where does patriarchy come from? a magical system that harms everybody equally and benefits nobody at all, forced upon society by some kind of mysterious and unknowable force? it's probably best that we just avoid talking about it forever because it's not that important anyway and there are real problems to worry about instead

the hopepunk platitude that 'most people would develop measured opinions on marginalised demographics if they were simply exposed to them in everyday life' doesn't work because 99% of people have a switch in their head that they can flip in order to stop seeing the person in front of them as a person and instead as property, property for utilitarian benefit to themselves. you can tell when someone flips their switch while talking to you
