    The rapists and the men who kill their current or previous partners due to their entitlement are usually no bankers.

      Allow me to revise that statement.

      One of the patriarchy’s achievements is convincing a small handful of men that they deserve women, but its greatest one is convincing women that not only do all men believe they deserve women, but that the reason for this is biological.

        This just reads as “not all men” which while not wrong, also just gives people an easy out. If you have a cake divided in ten pieces, and nine of those pieces are fine, but one is laced with a lethal poison, no one that’s well informed and wishes to live is going to risk eating that cake.

        Your average man might not be an abusive or violent person, but how do you tell the difference? Further, there’s a lot of “good” men out there that are perfectly okay with not checking the behaviour of their friends, allowing toxic behaviour to perpetuate when they are in one of the best positions to put their foot down and say that they’re not okay with it. In so doing, while they personally might not be engaging in it, they’re still facilitating the perpetuation of it.

        Not all men, perhaps, but we as a society, including all men have a repsonsibility to break down this system.

        It’s uncommon for men to give birth, so I’m guessing you’re saying that single mothers are the problem? Or does the father also raise their children, thus also get some culpability here? It’s almost like the problem is wide-spread and systematic.

            Haha, oh no whatever shall I do? I can scarce keep on living knowing I won’t be able to interact with you. Such a crushing loss. 😢

        If you are going to blame women for all evils in the world, please do it explicitly so we can block you.

        And you have the gall to chastize some user for their choice of instance…
