It's about perspective and proportionality. Machismo plagues Latin America, but so do levels of hyper-violence in general, and the victims of which are overwhelmingly male. Before we talk about patriarchy, we should ask what sort of patriarchy could care so little of men?
Consider that Argentina in particular has very high male-to-female ratio in suicide rates. It's at least 4.5x higher among men. Again I ask, what sort of patriarchy cares so little of men that 99% of folks are likely utterly oblivious to this disparity?
More men commit suicide each *month* in Argentina than women were killed by men on the basis of gender ALL YEAR. There is a problem with violence with regards to men. They are overwhelmingly the victims of it. But who cares?
Omg, you really need to go read about what the Patriarchy is. Do you only know about feminism from memes? The patriarchy is also bad for men. They just get access to power structures i.e. the patriarchy is just less bad for men.
I'm sure that's why it's almost exclusively women ranting and raving about "teh patriarchy." Cuz they care so much about men...Right. You said it yourself, it supposedly imposes inequity on women. That's all that matters to them, and it's a mythical specter.
Look, if women were killing themselves 4x as often, and women were working more than men, and women were at the receiving end of the majority of violence, ok, then you can make that "worse for women" argument. But that is the reverse of reality.
The great irony here is that whatever this oppressive system which you want to call "patriarchy" is, there are already plenty of legit criticisms for it, and they have nothing to do with gender politics, as men continue to be victimized the most which we just take for granted.
Think about what I just stated and how you responded. I told you that nearly 5x as many men commit suicide, and you perfunctorily reply "Yeah that's bad, but *worse for women*" Seriously? Please take a moment to reflect on how perverse that is.
Does it not recall that infamously telling and absurd blunder when Hillary pontificated "Women have always been the primary victims of war"? How detached from reality can one be to even begin formulating such self-centered notions? It is psychopathic. Pure insanity.
Omg, no dude. I responded that way because I'm not going to take your bait. Sorry, but I'm not going to explain to you what the patriarchy is. You have Google, go use it, please.
I'm not baiting anyone here. I genuinely feel sorry that you don't see the point I'm trying to make. I don't encourage anyone to subscribe to notions that one gender is better or worse, or better off or worse off. It's such a wash. It's the same with the issue of intelligence.
