The feminist *claims* I mentioned - UK & US are patriarchies & gender is cultural construct - are not worthwhile because they're not *true.* https://twitter.com/SnarkyFieds/status/788749468090961920 …

genuine question: if there are X disadvantages for men, and X+1 for women, does that qualify as patriarchy?
-
Only if the +1 is a legal power men have over women.
-
Patriarchy means a system in which men power to control women or have access to power & women are excluded from it.
-
We have a society in which both sexes have access to everything but men & women face different disadvantages socially.
-
OK, men are legally disadvantaged in having right to genital integrity & the draft which shldn't be underestimated but re: power?
-
Women have disadvantages due to pregnancy & being weaker physically & some pressures re: motherhood, appearance, sexuality etc
-
Men have some lesser biological disadvantages & different social pressures - be strong, be successful, less time with children etc
-
there are also people like Brock Turner that are acquitted of rape or get light sentences by real sexist judges
