Patriarchy’s Pro-Aggression

There are plenty of books about how violent and war-mongering patriarchy is, so I won’t go into much detail. Who causes war? Power-tripping patriarchal leaders. Who picks fights? Bullies — people who are extremely not empaths. Who thinks violence is the way to solve issues? Patriarchal and misogynistic brutes who voted for… you know who. Who picks fights/arguments (and projects this onto the target their gaslighting)? Psychic vampires who get off on conflict and drama.

This of course is tied in with rape culture and the fight against reproductive rights. Patriarchy, rape culture, bullies: predators think women somehow magically have no right to say NO and to simply be themselves and have bodily autonomy. Patriarchy, rape, making reproductive rights illegal, and bullying are all about power and dominance. Barf.

Patriarchy, rape, abortion bans, and bullying are all about control over people who are not cishet white men. People with such attitudes strive to make life a nightmare for the rest of us. The predators who practice the above live in a bizarre alternate reality involving a hierarchy with them at the top and the rest of use at the bottom — in sharp contrast with the interconnectedness of an egalitarian society.
