What is patriarchy theory?

"What is patriarchy theory?"

"The Patriarchy" is a feminist conspiracy theory that asserts that every society has been, and continues to function under GENDER rule with men essentially ruling over women as opposed to the reality which is that we have always been ruled under CLASS rule.

Feminists tend to see a "male power" in common, equal men with no such "power", just because it is mostly male leaders that are in power. But this would be like children thinking that all adults have the same authority as each other, and wondering why their own parents can't change the world properly to share that "power" with them (the children), and give them exactly what they want, when they want it.  This simpleton concept also ignores the very reality that male leaders do not share power with anyone, especially other males.  Men are competitive creatures.

Feminists insist that we still live under a patriarchy today in the first world, even though all adult women have the exact same set of legal Rights and opportunities as men do. Also, no man has any authority or dominion over any woman. A feminist defined "patriarchy" cannot exist in the West. It does not.

"The Patriarchy" as a concept was stolen from actual societies that have existed in the past, such as a rule by religious Patriarch as was the case in the Byzantine empire ... and somewhat (not exactly) like some of the Islamic Caliphates of today. But in our Western, representative democracies, to claim we live in any kind of Patriarchal rule of any type at all, is a fool's assertion.

@James - your post is 100% accurate in every respect.

The problem is that most men are 'henpecked'.

The actual roles and positions of women can be found in the Bible.

Women were only supposed to be paid 2/3 that of a man.

And the man was always supposed to rule over a woman (Ephesians 5:22,23, et al).

That is ancient history and ancient wisdom.

Deviating from those tenets is unnatural behavior.

Also, to add to your list, if there is a DV call to a home, guess who the cops either make leave or arrest?

THE MAN.

The poor man has no men's shelters to go to and yet there are plenty of women's shelters they she can go to.

She can get nearly instant government assistance whereas he is lucky to get $100/month for food.

Far too much chivalry in our society and laws.

Women expect the man to pay for the date/dinner/etc.

If he asks for 'Dutch Treat', she condemns him as being cheap.

Women also want lots of kids (usually).

Reason? CHILD SUPPORT.

They use the father's as a 'stock market investment' of sorts with guaranteed income.

And that created indentured servitude, which makes those laws unconstitutional.

She gets child support but zero oversight as to what she spends the money on. I knew a woman that got child support, bought a new minivan and house and used that money to pay for it all. NOTHING he could do about it.

Fathering a child should NEVER mean signing up to be a slave.

Oh if a man hits any woman, even in self defense, HE goes to jail.

If SHE hits a man then nothing happens to her. There are some exceptions to both.

If a man restricts her access to money then he is abusing her and yet she can be a spend-a-holic, squandering his money (yes it is HIS since he earned it).

I knew a woman who abused the law. Every time she got mad at her ex, she took the kids to the dr and ran up medical bills HE had to pay for. He had NO choice in the matter.

Another woman had to take her son to get a broken arm treated (real accident). Since the ins card was in the dad's name, they sent HIM the bill even though SHE signed for the treatment.

Decree was he provided insurance, not copays and deductibles.

Another guy I know got hurt at work and was off work for over a year.

No child support paid during that time.

She took him to court over it. The guy had proof of the injury and a Dr's note saying he couldn't go back to work yet.

Judge asked her what she wanted to do. She said THROW HIM IN JAIL!

The guy told the judge he had always paid on time and in full for several years and had no problem paying if he had it.

Judge told him to come back in 90 days with some kind of money or determination.

87 days later he got what was left of his workers comp payment - she got the lions share before he got a penny.

I bet there are many thousands of unjust cases just like those.

And yet, women demand even MORE benefits?

Women and men are not equal, with the scale tipping female. Women are paid less. When the pandemic hit, women where the first to go. If anyone says anything different, than they are a big fat ****. I hate you James. Go kill yourself and do all women a favor.

Its the idea that men have entitlement and rights, but not being able to provide one example of legal discrimination against women in the US today while there are dozens against men.

The following is defined as equality by those complaining about the patriarchy and are currently legal under our ACTUAL matriarchy -

It’s all about a mothers rights, but no fathers rights.

Women being treated like princesses in prison and men being treated like animals.

Female prison guards humiliate and degrade men with strip searches, shower supervision etc, but female prisoners get privacy and respect from male prison guards.

Bodily choice for women, but forced genital mutilation for boys, referring to women’s rights to their bodies in terms of abortion, but boys being circumcised without choice.

Female reporters and staff allowed in men’s locker rooms, but privacy and respect for female athletes. This is the definition of feminist equality. 

Is this an example of the respect that feminists claim MEN don’t have for the opposite sex?

Its women getting everything in a divorce, and men being torn away from their children

Female sex offenders being slapped on the wrist, but male sex offenders being incarcerated the rest of their lives

Its men being sentenced to more time for the same crime than women. This can be researched under the US government and shows that women don’t get held accountable to the level that men do.

Women having the right to use the men’s room, but a man who walks in to the women’s room is arrested for being disrespectful and perverted. Men use urinals, but that’s still not enough for women to have basic respect for men’s privacy.

Its a feminized education system that cripples natural behavior of boys, makes being male a crime in school, then girls claiming they are smarter.

Why is it when two people under the age of consent have sex, only the boy is charged with doing something wrong?

Its women being allowed to drown five children and using the fact she is a woman to get away with it - Andrea Yates

Its women being allowed to use domestic violence as an excuse to murder a sleeping husband, even though there is no evidence of domestic abuse - Mary Winkler

Its the extensive abuse of restraining orders to vilify an innocent man and get leverage in a divorce. A restraining order against a man can be served even without his knowledge or an opportunity to defend himself.

Its men being jailed for defending themselves against an abusive wife, but called a wimp if he takes the abuse

Its women demanding respect from men, but never having to respect them in return

Its women having the choice between abortion, adoption, dropping an unwanted baby off at a hospital, raising the child with a father, or raising the child without a father, but the only choice men have is to agree.

Its 3 innocent Duke Lacrosse players losing their lives because we don’t ever think a woman could lie about rape - let alone prosecute her for doing so.

Its women labeling men as abusive when the US government has shown women cause more child abuse than men.

Its female rape being horrendous, but male rape being funny and made in to comedy movies. Rape is a legally accepted part of the justice system, but only against men.

Its just about every TV show being allowed to humiliate and degrade men, but women complaining and calling it sexist if they were treated the same.

It’s more health care spending going towards women’s health than men’s. Breast cancer receives 7 times the funding of prostate cancer. There are three departments of women’s health in the US government, but none for men. However, men live an average of 5 years less than women when the genders used to have the same life span.

Its allowing women only clubs and banning men only clubs

It’s doing everything we can to help girls in math and science, but letting boys fall further behind in everything else.

It’s defining equal pay for equal work as men playing five sets of tennis, but women only playing three. Maybe women claiming 3=5 is the reason for the above point

Its cutting men’s sports in college in favor of women’s sports that have no interest

Its female murderers being mentally ill, but male murderers just being evil

Its claiming men walk out on their family when its actually women who file 80% of divorces

Its men being portrayed as evil, stupid or buffoons on TV and all women being perfect or superior.

Its women wanting equality for their gender, but men being called chauvinist pigs when they want equality for their gender

Its fixing the education system when girls are failing, and blaming the boys when boys are failing

Its women being allowed to level false accusation against an innocent man without consequence. Read Duke Lacrosse and many other examples. Feminism has installed this right to women through the courts.

Its a man being a chauvinist, sexist pig when he doesn’t respect women, but a women who doesn’t respect men is an admirable, strong and independent woman.

Women remove male role models from their sons' lives, then when their sons behave badly, the women blame "patriarchy."

Stereotyping girls as inferior to boys in any facet of life is "misogyny"; stereotyping boys as potential batterers and rapists is a public service announcement.

Women insist their husbands assume the responsibilities of being a full parent, but as soon as a woman files for divorce, he is just an ATM.

Its feminists not being able to provide one example of legal discrimination against women in the US today. 

Patriarchy is basically a man in power 

Matriarchy is basically a woman in power. 

The Queen of England is a matriarchy. 

So technically we do live in a patriarchy because far more men have been in power over the centuries than women.  

A load of BS feminists make up to compensate for their own inadequacy. 

It is a term created by misandrists who suffer from a mental derangement recognized and described by mental professionals called p*n*s envy.

men were expected to be the providers of discipline and women would be  the nurturing response. The scold of; "wait till your dad gets home" was the woman's way of always getting to be the nice parent the kids will run to. 

Now the feminists are unwilling to be nurturers or to be bothered by being mothers at all, so they want to replace men in society and intend to do so with all of this nonsense we see today.

When they were kids dad had the final say. So now 27 year old children go beg the mayor to change the world for them and are mad at old white men for doing things that don't help poor black men commit crimes against other poor black men. 

A patriarchy is a system of rule in which only men are allowed any say in governance which they use to their benefit.  

Feminist Patriarchy Theory is the presumption that the U.S. is a patriarchy, that women have no say, that men rule snd use their power of rule to oppress women.   It is a victim mentality.   Importantly, feminists are that because women are oppressed by men, women are owed advantages to balance this oppression.   

It's a system where men are actively preventing women from assuming positions of power or autonomy
