    It seems like they all behave like spoiled teenage boys

    I haven’t been living for long but is this because of patriarchy or simply gender agnostic idiocy?

    Whose brilliant idea was eye for an eye again?

        Patriarchy is quick to war and values physical aggression. If we were ruled by matriarchy the wars would be sparse and pragmatic. No dick measuring contests on geopolitical arena.

        You can disagree of course but you must surely notice that men are more prone to aggression and seek physical fights.

            Well it’s a nifty word to prohibit certain discussions and make everyone feel ok at all times. But not talking about something won’t make it disappear.

              It’s a word that describes a phenomenon with precision, which often allows for more nuanced conversations that are ultimately more challenging and useful. I’m not advocating for your silence by using it, just illustrating that your actions are also gross.

              You’re conflating “men” with “patriarchy,” which just reinforces harmful stereotypes about gender and sex. You’ve created a binary where one side is “bad” and the other is “good,” and used stereotypical narratives about gender to do it. You’re using the same harmful logic that the people I’m sure you most disagree with use.

                Eye for an eye, you might say
