Why do so many women oppose patriarchy when it was almost always to their benefit?

Because they live in a society that’s been padded for them so they can complain about it. Of these women lived a 100 years ago they wouldn’t run their mouth the way they do. They have more opportunities than most women, especially in the United States but they’re still going to cry. Guarantee you though if you drove up in a bus, said were taking feminism to the Middle East, we need women to protest there, they wouldn’t go. Privilege is invisible to those who have it. Ask the women who went overseas like Britney Griner or the girl who moved to Africa but wanted to come back right away where they’d rather live. Ask the girl who got in an argument w the car rental company in Dubai who ended up in jail where she’d rather be. Most people have never been outside of their own country so it’s easy for them to run their mouth when all they’ve ever experienced is their home country’s laws. Most of the men here answering have be feminized. A lot of women will say things would be better if it was a matriarchy but not one civilization nation that was run by women still exist today. No one is saying they have to be house wives or child bearing slaves either.

You don't understand the difference between being kept as an object and being a free-willed human being with personal goals and aspirations.
Men, collectively, tended to "take care of" women the same way someone would a kitchen appliance. As something to use for personal benefit.
Some of them at least really REALLY don't like that. Some of them would rather be able to make their own mistakes and learn from them.

... Then again, a lot of them want the best of both worlds and vacillate instantly between them when things don't go the way they'd like.

The best societies in hi story are those without strong patriarchy. Domestic violence is lower in cultures where women are given more status and power and equality. There is one male dominated country where 98% of women are victimized by either battery or rape on a daily bases, there is another country where 70% of women are daily victims of domestic violence, and there is another male dominated country where only 1/3 of the population is female. Either the women are fleeing the country to avoid abuse, or they are being aborted or murdered by people who do not want to have daughters or aging wives. I know somebody I am 70% sure was murdered in that country.

Because it is not and to be honest with you, I have neither the time, the inclination, nor the crayons to explain it to you. Sorry, but I have had bowel movements with more insight than you.

A typical Reich Wing propaganda tactic. You toss out your lies as a statement, "patriarchy was almost always to women's benefit", then you ask your questions in a way that tries to trap the responder into legitimizing your lies.

Only it's not working for you in this case. Based on the responses, women are calling out your lie rather than giving it any legitimacy. Shove your patriarchy up your ass seems to be the general sentiment incel boy.

Probably it limited them to being wife or mother and they couldn't do much else. All their problems stem from being able to give birth. That makes them valuable. It's the same with men, lots of mussel so they get pushed into soldier or labor roles. Men get chased down and forced into these roles even just because of some mussel tissue. In either case people are being treated like live stock so they object.

Because it isn't to our benefit. If it was, then we wouldn't be opposing it. Common sense bruh. Stop trolling, get therapy.

Being treated like mindless, helpless children with few options and no free will of their own was soooo beneficial.

You saying it's a benefit doesn't actually make it true and in addition to most women disagreeing, a significant portion of men do too.

Being dominated by men was never in a woman’s benefit.

It provided them protection and security which was invaluable in the world before the industrial revolution

[OneViewpoint]

This isn't the pre industrial revolution world numbnuts. It's 2025 not 1625. Take your patriarchy and go read up on why no one wants your bullshit any more.

As a woman it certain isn’t my fetish nor is it the fetish of any woman I personally know, so yeah… get with the times Theo. Also your own personal thoughts and fee-fees doesn’t disprove anything. You’re just some dude trying to mansplain how you think women should feel.

[Opinion Owner]

I guess oneviewpoint or anyone who doesn’t agree with you is a tranny too lol you fcking loser. Listen, I know you’re not used to dealing with or listening to women but it is what it is, not all of us want your outdated ways of living. It’s not a fucking delusion or insecurity we just don’t want it! Sorry not sorry that we can live and exist without having “your” house clean and supper on the table but 5! Go cry about your hurt feelings to someone who isn’t physically revolted by your presence and stay the fuck from under a woman’s comment trying to lick your open wounds and tell her how to think! I can’t stand basement dwellers like yourself who are so chronically untouched that every woman has to pay for your lonely existence and that’s sad as shit. I know you suck at taking rejection but I DO NOT WANT TO TALK TO YOU, so do not come back!

What are the benefits to women?

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

It very much was not to the benefit of women.

[Ironic_Method]

Not having a choice isn't a benefit.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Because it infantilizes them.

[chocolatetwopointo]

lmao what benefits exactly?

[OlderAndWiser]

Nearsightedness.
