Look I know y’all are illiterate and I don’t like having serious discourse on here but: 

 

Men and women alike are oppressed (by racism, classism, homophobia, etc), feminism doesn’t aim to “elevate” women to the same status men (which is: still oppressed) but to completely liberate them from all oppressions, which include racism, classism, etc... cause men are still oppressed (not on the basis of their sex, but still oppressed)

 

That’s why intersectionality was created, by a black woman (Kimberlé Crenshaw), to tackle all the issues that are outside the strict man/women dicotomy but still affect women in other ways (like racism and classism)

 

 

sorry for the OT but y’all are so ignorant 

 

Yeah exactly, feminism is about liberation from patriarchy. Patriarchy is the pervasive structure, the object of feminist discourse.

 

"men and women should be equal" is reductive and the only reason it ever gets invoked (including in this thread) is because people want feminism to be palatable by repackaging it into some neoliberal individual responsibility type of idea, totally dodging the idea of dismantling harmful structures. You lot really think feminism is just when men and women get along? And when women are mean to men, they're defeating the feminist mission? Not the girlboss wave of feminism rotting brains 

 

That said, marina commodifying feminism is also super lib 

 

Also the way Google definitions are being thrown around lol... if only life was so simple.

Porn is good for the soul
But it doesn't always leave you feeling whole
Unless you own a good dildo
But then you'll all think I'm a whore

patriarchy ceased to exist years ago (except in the middle east)

Men and women are not equal in several respects, and many of these aspects men are at a disadvantage compared to women. There are no "structures" that support a patriarchy, on the contrary, women currently have more "privileges" and advantages (such as positive discrimination) than men.

Putting men as oppressors (patriarchy) is sexist and makes the true causes of women's problems invisible.

Feminism seeks to end discrimination that affects women, and there is no need for a patriarchal system for them to exist.

Also have to know how to distinguish that it is a discrimination of simple disparity (where the individual responsibility applies) for example the wage gap or the "glass ceiling" that are not discrimination quasi, they are working life choices.

Positive discrimination still exists because patriarchy still exists

 

Men don't have to be actively oppressing women in order for patriarchy to exist, the patriarchal structure is what reproduces the oppression and men passively benefit from it. It's not a villain narrative. Men and women can be agents of patriarchy. And we're all agents /within/ patriarchy. 

 

Also I'm dubious of any empirical assessment that says we're post-patriarchy, or post-racism, or post-homophobia, or whatever. Usually people just point to the very shallow instances of legislation that make us feel accomplished, which only leads to neglect of deeper and consistent manifestations of injustice. Sexism isn't solved because women have greater representation in the workplace, or in parliament. But whatever this is lanaboards

The first thing you say is contradictory, positive discrimination is to "help" women and as I said before, disparities are not the result of any patriarchy. For example, in many schools there are scholarships for women to study a university career (especially if it is a typically male career), despite the fact that for more than a century women have had the advantage in the educational gap.

For there to be a patriarchy, there must be a political system. There is currently no law or mandate that exhorts men to command or prevents women from doing so. And men have more social disadvantages than women, in fact women have benefited a lot from the system. safe house, court advocacy programs subsidezed counseling, subsidezed legal care. More than misogyny, it is a gynocentric system, literally exite UN for women.

And no, the studies that I have seen are macro studies, they are not specific cases and they are not biased (otherwise feminist studies that are poorly planned and use very small samples)

 

This blog is in Spanish, but they can translate it freely, it talks about all the genre topics and presents the studies. https://feminismocientific.wixsite.com/misitio/investigacionteoricaygenero
