I mean regardless of who you think has more overall privilege, women do have 'some' systemic privilege - e.g., childcare rights

Sorry but I can't get what's the privilege on a justice system which believes that woman must take care of children

Not 'must' - but if both the father and the mother actively want a child, the child tends to go to the mother.

I have to repeat my last argument on here: the law itself eases the custody to the woman because it considers it has to be this way

I'm not trying to argue that women are more privileged than men overall, but there are 'some' aspects in which women do have advantage.

Also women are more likely to suffer from depression. Can't consider this a privilege to any gender, more a biological issue than social

Possibly not, might be due to gender bias in measuring. One study that corrected for this found higher male rates http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/1733742 …

Some sources don't agree with that http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/in-depth/depression/art-20047725 … anyway it has more to do with hormones rather than genders itself

that source is using measures that my link corrected for I think? but generally i agree - but lack of support for male emotions is systemic

Of course! But that's a patriarchal characteristic: emotions are for the weak ones (women) and therefore if men show them are less of a man

"all bad things are from patriarchy, even when they are better for women" is just something that doesn't jive well with me

I can't force you to believe it but we live in a patriarchal society which has damaged both genders from the very beginning

Since the patriarchy represents oppression and sexism it doesn't matter if it "benefits" us somehow: it's still oppressive
