  • “Patriarchy” is a funny way to say “Capitalism” so the concept can survive and that is just needs more women to be in positions of power to exploit it.

    Sorry but that’s a bad and extremely reductive take. There is absolutely a unique factor of oppression towards non-cis-men that

    a) evolved historically
    b) reproduces itself in our current economic system, but
    c) isn’t guaranteed to dissolve and could be perpetuated in a post-capitalist economic system and
    d) could be eased even under capitalism and materially benefit those affected

    Ignoring this factor of oppression results in a reductive analysis of the kind of “let’s overthrow capitalism and everything will be great”

    Yes - the liberation of women, trans people of all genders, non-binary people etc. necessitates an end of capitalist structures - but that alone won’t solve the problem. So saying “patriarchy = capitalism” is reductive.

    And of course men suffer from patriarchal structures too - but it’s qualitatively not the same as the explotation of their labour or the way non-cis men experience gender oppression.


  • In the summer I like a mediterranian noodle salad;

    Make some pasta, let it cool down, add cucumber, bell pepper and mozzarella (or leave that out if you want to make it vegan), and add a sauce of olive oil, agave syrup (or a sweetener of your choice), balsamico, salt, pepper, oregano and basil

    Yeah could be cheaper but I really love it during the summer
