Indeed, this patriarchy thing is a slippery foe.

I don’t know what my privileges are because The Patriarchy hides them from me, which is my fault for being part of them because I’m male, even though I don’t get privileges which is The Patrirchy’s fault for giving me privileges .. no. hang on ..

Aww, see, now I’m really confused by The Patriarchy stuff. This clever way they control society so well to oppress women by not letting men have the same advantages as women .. I mean, that’s clever, isn’t it?

And by making men more responsible than women, The Patriarchy completely disguises their very existence. If I weren’t told over and over again that The Patriarchy existed, I might even think society favours women, just because women have so many more advantages than me.

I know there aren’t any laws that discriminate against women and there are one that discriminate against men. I always wondered about that but now I understand that it’s all part of the dastardly plot to fool people about The Patriarchy’s purpose and when I am discriminated against as a man, it is all because of my privileges as a man.

Privileges so well hidden that I don’t even get them! Maybe I’m not so confused after all.

I’ll sign off now because I want to go find The Patriarchy and I have heard rumours they meet in Paris so I’ll go searching around that Awful Tower.
