I Blame The Patriarchy

Dude, could this be you?

How am I, as a “straight” man, who has never EVER been violent towards a woman (or a guy for that matter), supposed to “step up and take responsibility for ending male violence”?

Do you really think a “matriarchy” would be any better?

What is wrong with being attracted to hot women? Men are visually hardwired.

Educating men in the mysterious and rigorous discipline of viewing women as human beings is not, happily, the focus of this blog. However, male persons who wish to hone their patriarchy-blaming chops are encouraged to follow the links in this post.

Male persons who wish to leave comments on this blog are strongly encouraged not to. Male persons who wish to leave comments, despite the preceding statement, affirm, by clicking the “Blame” button, the following:

– That they grasp elementary feminist theory and therefore do not question the existence of patriarchy, that they benefit from male privilege, or the validity of the argument for women’s liberation from male oppression.

– That enbiggening the discourse, rather than an ironic intellectual exercise, is the guiding principle of their commentary.

– That they have read at least three of the articles suggested in the comments to the aforelinked post. Starting with this one.

But really, it would be better if men just didn’t post in the first place. Really.
