Does patriarchy exist?
Yes
How would you define patriarchy?
male hegemony – a conscious unconscious
How has patriarchy hurt you?
By defining a set of expectations that, though unspoken, expect certain attitudes towards violence, pain, and independence, that quite frankly I am unable to meet. Moreover – this is a position from which it is contemptible to complain, couched as it is in privilege
How have you hurt people in a way influenced by patriachy?
Probably through dismissing and diminishing others through humour, and resentment – a feeling of threat to my own position (and my expectation of my position).
How would you define masculinity?
badly
Does misandry exist?
I don’t know what misandry is!
For Christ sake – why do we always assume the world is binary. Misogyny is cause by a set of expectations that are woven into the fabric of society – to attempt to deconstruct that does not automatically assume a hatred, or a prejudice. This is the rage of the realignment of a society – yes there is pain, but that doesn’t presuppose a conscious attack.
Have you experienced gender and/or sex related prejudice?
Only in a way that has advantaged me
What best describes you?
A feminist
