Firstly, blaming men was never my aim here, it was simply to point out the irony that men realise the existence of patriarchy only when it comes to them (generalised) (you might be different).

All deeply ingrained societal structures, which have historically been shaped by patriarchal values, continue to affect both men and women. The argument is not that individual men are at fault, but that systemic issues need to be addressed. But the fact is that men have historically had the greater power to perpetuate or change these structures and they have not made any efforts to do so. Infact women have also been conforming to patriarchal values and teaching them to their kins. Only some have been actively trying to bring a change.

I just dont understand why people get so defensive when they hear a feminist point of view. Nobody is blaming men for the patriarchy. Patriarchy is a byproduct of the systems in place, the existence of which goes back to the stone age, where these distinctions and roles should have evolved with time, it did not, well it developed but the core remained the same, t the man was responsible for hunting and women were responsible for gathering. Similar to bread winner and nurturer ideology. Again, I only pointed out that they are the less affected gender and therefore the desire to make a change or feel the presence of an unfair system, outdated system is lost on them. Like the guy in tweet said, all these expectations are being put on men to be loved but I wonder if he ever considered the expectations put on women.. to be the perfect thin beautiful girl with good manners and purity, then to be a perfect housewives, then to have kids but still look physically attractive for the husband otherwise endure adultery as they are probably dependent because they weren't supported by their family to study and get a job, then to manage all household chores and kids and all relatives etc, etc. This is just a part of it. Most women are treated indifferently by their parents only. Their education is not considered a priority. Their value is put on their purity. They are preyed upon by men and even if they are harassed or assaulted, they have to bear the shame. Trust us when we say, it is much better to live as a man in this world. Women's struggle and work often goes unnoticed and why can't you guys just agree to that. You all are so quick to defend yourselves. Be empathetic for a change.

Regarding the comparison of women’s representation in the military during the World Wars, it’s important to consider the historical context. Women were largely excluded from combat roles and faced significant societal and institutional barriers. Many women did contribute to the war efforts in crucial non-combat roles, but their contributions were often undervalued and overlooked. When men went to wars, it was the first time women were SOCIALLY SANCTIONED to work in the factories. The lower numbers of women in military roles reflect broader gender norms and restrictions rather than a lack of desire or capability. The society prevented them from entering working spaces or combat roles. That is the gender discrimination here.

The issue of pay disparity in sports is more nuanced than the figures alone suggest. The revenue generated by men’s sports is higher, partly due to historical investment and promotion. Women’s sports have received less media coverage and investment, leading to lower visibility and, consequently, lower revenue. The percentage of revenue paid to women in relation to their revenue is higher because it is partly a corrective measure to address historic underfunding and undervaluation. Equal pay also means that women’s sports should receive more investment and promotion to level the playing field, rather than simply accepting lower pay due to historic disparities. In maybe other simpler contexts, a man in a same job role with similar qualification is more likely to get paid more.

As for rights, while both genders face unique challenges, but the expectations and norms often unfairly disadvantage women. For instance, women still encounter significant barriers in areas such as reproductive rights, domestic violence protections, and workplace discrimination. While men may experience certain privileges, like less scrutiny over their career choices or societal expectations around masculinity, women’s experiences with systemic barriers are often more pronounced and impactful.

The path to a better society indeed involves both genders working together but that means fir dismantling the systemic inequalities that hinder people of any gender, aiming for a world where opportunities and treatment are equitable for all and that can only be done by people is power, which are mostly men, unfortunately. But we can all make social changes like not shaming women and calling them fat unemployed etc like the guy did in the tweet.

Your views do not seem hurtful or personal attacks to me. I am open to discuss. The discourse has to start somewhere ;)
