Do you think patriarchy favors men?

[Anonymous]

Men are expected to be manly, strong , dominant and breadwinners all the time in patriarchy.

Yes

No

[normalice]

The person making the decisions gets to decided if those decisions show favor to themselves. By definition, a patriarchy is a system where men make most of the decisions. That doesn't mean men will certianly make decisions that favor themselves but history has shown it happens more often than not.

Depends on whether we compare it to pre- or post- patriarchal societies.

Patriarchy is a society that is built by men for the benefit of men and for the subjugation of women. At least according to feminists.

So by definition, yes. If it isn't built by men, doesn't benefit men nor subjugate women then it doesn't fit the definition.

No, it favors families.

Now thanks to feminism it’s a sh! t show. And very few children are being born due to selfish, self centered women who do not do their primary job.

Rich cisgender straight white men, that is. Everyone else is their victim, with the overlords using racism, homophobia and misogyny to divide the rest of us to keep us from demanding what they've stolen from us.

Patriarchy hasn't existed in the US for decades

[laly520]

well its called patriarchy for a reason
the word "patriarchy", meaning "rule of the father"

Does a father necessarily favor his son? Sure he might give him certain privileges for the sake of the family but he will also be more protective and provide more for his daughter.

It would do, if it existed.
