First!
Look at nature before men has thousands of years women had hundreds of millions of years.human history. Patriarchy is the new radical experiment. And and just like. Capitalism is blamed for stuff caused by nature. Starvation Disease and freezing.
Stuff reduced by capitalism.
Patriarchy is blamed for problems caused or brought back by feminism. Having to bottle up well you can cry 😭 they love see men cry but actually talk anything that would put women in a negative light.
You less relationships with your kids being kicked out and still drained and vilified as a Deadbeat dad . .
Being a money object . Lake respect as living being.
Even negative affects on women. Barbie had a speech blaming patriarchy for what feminist fought for . Patriarchy brought so many wonderful things how we conquered nature in so many ways we take for granted even the right wants appeal to Nature for something better . Then or corrent progressive system actually going backwards to nature 🤯 males fighting each other for approval of the females is nothing special
Men should stay and bond and support their kids. What it's against the mother's wishes. Do feminist understand or consider what ask of men to be allies disempowering themselves for out of guilt. Unless your bullying somthing less with less privilege then you to firm emotional attachments to other sentient being dependent on YOUR body when YOU want the support but just respect your wishes when You want to kill it
I think you’re on the wrong channel, friend.
How can she teach you about accountability if she herself can't hold her accountable. .. by her own state of what qualifies her to talk on male issues is she's a hurt person looking to hurt people.
And best way to mentally hurt people is prend to be their friend.
I'm sorry about your precieved problems but they are your problems. You to a women's group. How would you feel if guys whos has bad experiences with eom . Homeless still drained in alimony and children support vilified as dead bear by his baby moma . It falsy accused just get him trouble. Or had abusive mother. Went to teach a woman's group telling they need take accountability
