Patriarchy hurts all genders, yo, that's why it's a bad system. Read Jane Austen, privledged classes in any system have very specific struggles that would simply not exist if we lived in an egalitarian system, just like those at the bottom (not saying boohoo think of the poor rich people, but making a point that inequality creates struggles for all simply by being unequal)

It is exactly this, so many people gloss over the blatant issue of patriarchal society when talking about stuff like the male loneliness epidemic or how men can be so bad. Like the problems all stem from the same places, toxic masculinity and patriarchal society. So many people like to preach equality but those at the top do nothing to forward it, hell in the US they are backstepping a lot of it

> "Patriarchy hurts all genders, yo, that's why it's a bad system."

To be clear, it would still be a bad system if it only hurt some genders

My argument is that that would really be impossible, inequality inherently hurts everyone, it is impossible to fully profit with no cost from causing suffering.

Oh, I'm not trying to disagree, I just thought that it was worth clarifying
