N.B. misandry is not real because men are not systemically oppressed (uninternalize your reddit MRA today: men suffer some drawbacks under the patriarchy but ultimately still maintain it due to the large amount of privileges they receive under it!)

    The drawbacks men suffer from under patriarchy are also all directly linked to how they’re broken and molded for their role as opressors. The suffering of men under the patriarchy is inseperable from how they are trained to inflict suffering upon others. There is no non-reactionary activism for men’s rights that isn’t just a specific angle of feminism, the one that is concerned with understanding and overcoming toxic masculinity.

      how they’re broken and molded for their role as opressors. The suffering of men under the patriarchy is inseparable from how they are trained to inflict suffering upon others.

      I can barely talk to people and almost never leave my house, what makes me “trained to inflict suffering upon others”?
