This is really a great article Kaia!
I'm glad you wrote it. Patriarchy does not mean men men. Men were born into the system just like we were. It's not their choice to be here just like it wasn't ours. I think they more they realize the patriarchy doesn't mean them, the sooner real work towards equality can be done.
Similarly, feminism does not mean "hate men."
The fact that feminists are fighting for equal rights, and some perceive it as hating men, is very strange. I mean, why does having equal rights mean we hate men?
I'm sorry so many fragile people leaving comments here can't comprehend this, and just see it as some sort of hate war.
