"Then there came along this notion that women were not property of men, but were actually human beings, just like men, with all the same qualities and abilities, and therefore, because of the plain fact of their humanity, they were deserving of all the same rights and opportunities.
The system that holds that women are property of men is called patriarchy.
The system that holds that women are human beings is called feminism."

"Feminism completely & directly challenged patriarchy's authority and the underpinnings of its institutions and narratives, and this made people who depended upon patriarchy for fortune and identity very upset and enraged and violent, and all this rage was usually presented as a problem... and that it was up to society to solve that problem on behalf of men, mostly by making women not insist on being human beings so much." https://www.the-reframe.com/fix-your-hearts-or-die/ #Patriarchy #Misogyny #Politics #News #US #USA
