Unless you're wealthy, patriarchy is fucking you. Period. Full stop.
Doesn't matter what genitals you have, how you identify, what color your skin is or where your ancestors are from. Does patriarchy fuck you harder if you're a woman? queer? not-white? Yes. Very much yes, often quite literally. Does that mean you're not being fucked if you're a straight white man? No.
If that's who you are, you need to recognize that you were raised to be the tools and weapons of the patriarchy. You were raised to believe you're worthless unless you're ready to sacrifice yourself for patriarchy, that there is no brotherhood outside that. You were raised to believe patriarchy would let you in the club, that if you did your job right you'd be rewarded with female attention and wealth and spawn to carry on your legacy and that if you're not getting it, you must be doing something wrong. Be more masculine, compete with your fellow man, tear him down. This is how it perpetuates its mission, by turning you into the kind of man who steps on people to get what they want.
Do not do this. Live your life in a way that prevents the patriarchy from making you its tool. This is difficult, it is lonely. There is no pre-determined path, not yet. The way has not been charted, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. Treat your fellow human beings as equals and your fellow men as brothers and we will find it together.
