DO YOU THINK MEN WILL ABANDON PATRIACHY?
Short answer? They won’t.
Not suddenly. Not collectively. Not out of moral awakening.
Long answer — and this is the uncomfortable truth:
Patriarchy is not a misunderstanding.
It is a system of incentives.
People don’t voluntarily dismantle systems that:
- Give them power
- protect their mediocrity
- excuse their violence
- center their comfort
- reward their entitlement
Men don’t “fail to see” patriarchy.
They benefit from it — socially, economically, emotionally, and sexually.
So the idea that men will one day just wake up, stretch, and say
“Ah, yes, equality, let me give up my advantages.”
is… wishful thinking at best, self-deception at worst.
Patriarchy survives because it is
participatory
It doesn’t run on men alone.
It survives because:
- Women are socialized to accommodate it
- Girls are trained to romanticize sacrifice
- mothers pass it down “for safety.”
- Religion sanctifies it
- culture rewards “good women” who endure
As I said before
Patriarchy depends on women’s participation to survive.
Power only changes hands in three ways
Historically, power shifts when:
- It becomes too expensive to maintain
- It is starved of cooperation
- It is forcefully challenged
Not when the beneficiaries grow a conscience.
Why the “good men will fix it” narrative is dangerous
Because it:
- delays women’s agency
- recenters men as saviors
- frames liberation as permission instead of power
- asks the oppressed to wait patiently for fairness
That waiting is the system working exactly as designed.
What actually disrupts patriarchy
Not persuasion. Leverage.
- Economic independence
- Reproductive autonomy
- Social refusal (standards, boundaries, consequences)
- Collective non-participation
- Building parallel systems that don’t need male approval
When women withdraw unpaid labor, emotional cushioning, sexual access, and legitimacy, the system wobbles.
THE HARD PILL
Patriarchy doesn’t end because men change.
It ends because women stop feeding it.
Some men will adapt.
Some will ally.
Many will resist violently or subtly.
But the system doesn’t care about their feelings, only about whether it still works.
And systems collapse when they no longer function.
