By ‘the Patriarchy’ what feminists refer to is in fact: life’s imperfection

When feminists use the term ‘the Patriarchy’ we usually tend to look for some centers of power under the control of men, but more often than not none can be found when the feminist raises the patriarchy alert. In fact, feminists will see a patriarchy even in a room full of women with no man in sight, including if they are all feminist women. If we look closely at what feminists apply the phrase the Patriarchy to, it is easy to notice that every negative aspect of human existence is included, and a quick pause will reveal at once that what they were actually naming, is any negative human trait.

Humanity isn’t perfect. Life isn’t perfect. Suffering and unfairness and frustration, are all part of life, and of being human. There are diseases, there are separations because someone suddenly fell in love with someone else, there are droughts, and there is the human tendency to self-organize in hierarchies that can become harmful and unjust – including all-female hierarchies. We all strive for a better humanity, but we all accept the fact that earth isn’t the Nirvana, and that some human pain is inevitable simply because we are flesh and blood. We all want a better world, but we all understand why it would never be perfect.

Well, not all of us. Feminists are individuals whose devotion to the idea that women are perfect beings, has brought them firstly to the conclusion that all human suffering then must come only from men; secondly, as an inevitable consequence, to the view that if human life and society do exhibit any negative facets, it can only be because of men; and lastly, by deduction, to the belief of “any suffering found in life can therefore have no other reason but men’s influence and power – feeling any discomfort is thus evidence of men’s oppressive reign – proof that there’s a Patriarchy around us” (since what other reason can there be, given the prior rejection of life’s imperfection and the possibility, based on supremacist assumptions, that women as well contribute to human suffering).

Therefore, the subject matter that the phrase ‘the Patriarchy’ is actually applied to by feminists, is simply: life. Human life. This is why feminists keep pointing to ‘a patriarchy’ when no such structure can be found, including when they refer to areas that are completely dominated by feminist women like psychology, education, academy or literature. Feminists are actually triggered to use the term ‘the Patriarchy’ by the fact that humanity is a concrete, physical assembly of rounded individuals and thus is full of contradictions, dilemmas, and real-world conflicts, with some inevitable level of unhappiness and frustration. Men are blamed for the very fact that humanity is human. This is what feminists mean by the term the Patriarchy. This has all sorts of consequences.

Since in practice what the term “Patriarchy” refers to is simply human existence, “bringing down the Patriarchy” translates as “bringing down human existence”, and more specifically, as some distopic control over all of humanity with the practical goal of ridding it of the slightest discontent, guided by a belief in a hidden Nirvana that lies right beneath the surface of existence, covered not by a universal human nature and limitations but, by maleness. This means that as long as this goal of pure Nirvana has not been reached men and manhood are to blame – that is, men will live under permanent blaming and battering for as long as human nature exists. This also means that the path to “the Nirvana” is the erasure of any aspect of ordinary maleness – the source of all evil in the feminist supremacist perspective.

This further means the denial of the fact that women are human and have all of human nature – bad and good – including and in particular, the universal human tendency to form hierarchies with the peril that such hierarchies will abuse power. Despite all of feminism’s efforts to deny the fact that women are human, in a room full only of women and with feminists in particular, a hierarchy does form, and in some cases as sometimes happens with hierarchies, the top tiers will abuse their power and hurt others – be it women or men. Feminists attribute all what’s bad in human nature strictly to maleness, and specifically the universal human tendency to form hierarchies that at times result in power abuse, and so, instead of a feminist group becoming “an ideal society with no status and power differences”, it simply becomes a group without any of the controls that human societies developed to prevent abuse of power. And it would act accordingly, that is, it will tend to abuse power more often than groups that acknowledge the universal human tendency, and the need for measures to restrict power, measures such as a protected freedom to criticize – in the case of the feminist hierarchy, the freedom to criticize feminism and feminists.

This of course also causes feminists to politicize any negative personal feeling. Feminists have been taught by the feminist supremacy movement that by being women, they are perfect entities by essence, who would not have endured any sadness or anger from cradle to grave if only they had full control, since as super-beings they are incapable of causing suffering to others or themselves. They are thus taught to believe that if they do experience any negative emotion, it cannot be because they are human and human existence hurts at times, but rather, it must be because of the spilling of evil into human existence from the only source of anything bad: men. And then of course, within the supremacist system of beliefs, every negative feeling that the woman experiences becomes proof, of the existence of the patriarchy. Why else would I feel unhappy? It can’t be just life. As a result, men are blamed by feminists for literally the fact that negative feelings exist in human beings, that is, for everything.

Ultimately, blaming the other for everything, is the classical behavior of an abuser in an abusive relationship, and this is what has formed between feminism and all men – in the west and in westernized societies men are living under a perpetual abusive relationship with feminism.
