    Patriarchy didn’t teach men that they’re disgusting, wtf

    That’s like the opposite of the patriarchy

    This is the shit feminists do that piss me off. Literally anything bad? Patriarchy. Literally anything good? Feminism. Even if it makes no goddamn sense.

      Patriarchy absolutely teaches us that. It’s part of enforcing heteronormativity in men - if you find another man attractive or beautiful, you cannot express that without being accused of being gay, and this seeps into our self conception where not only do we have trouble viewing ourselves as capable of being beautiful, but we aggressively police men and boys around us who we perceive to be seeking beauty themselves.

      There’s been movement on this in the younger generation, but it’s still the hegemonic attitude.

      I consider the patriarchy to be the social power structure that enforces gender norms. What exactly do you consider the patriarchy to be?
