6 Reasons the Patriarchy Sucks
A brief reflection on humanity’s dumb junk
The Patriarchy cheapens the human experience as it denigrates the role of women, by categorizing us into a a simplistic impossible hierarchy based on nothing more than genitals:
Penis-havers are to be the source of power, intellect and strength, while vagina-havers are to be source of gentleness, nurturance, and emotions — and in that, weaker, secondary to and dependent upon men and their wants, needs and goals.
The Patriarchy shits on all of our humanity and it’s multi-layered, subtle interwoven genderless aspects. Strength is strength — neither masculine or feminine. Intelligence has no genitals. Power has no penis. Vulnerability no vagina.
The Patriarchy forces men to see their value solely in terms of how they can conquer, compete and close down all perceived emotional weakness: robotic supermen at best, sociopathic rapists at worst. It forces women to see their value as simply sexual or maternal. Complex broodmares at best, stupid sluts at worst.
The Patriarchy is so dumb it can’t conceive of more than one thing at a time. It posits that humans can’t possibly be more or both or other than our given genitals… it has no idea what to do it we don’t even feel very gender-y in the first place. Dumb like a swinging turd pendulum.
The Patriarchy is fundamentally uncomfortable with humans independently deciding how it feels to live in our own skin on our own terms in our own clothes. This makes the Patriarchy confused, mad and scared! Wars get started and laws get made just to stop that sort of thing.
The Patriarchy is for mental babies who can’t wrap their brain around multi-dimensionality and the basic oh-so American notion that people need to live their lives without constantly checking to make sure they’re falling in line with some bullshit about what constitutes correct behavior based on your genitals.
Genitals have their place in our lives, but it’s not everywhere all the damned time. Put your junk away, fuck the Patriarchy (metaphorically) and instead be kind, decent, smart and true.
