I guess men would perceive "less worth" now, compared to women ... but that's kinda how equality works. What sucks is that there is a "swing to it" that kinda hurts men, on an individual basis. Like custody rulings, or mental health care, for example. Because lo and behold, the patriarchy was never a means to lift men up, but an excuse to limit the power of those "not like them".

The patriarchy is a system that hurts us all, while using women as the scapegoat. It's a tale as old as time; using division to prevent union amongst the majority. (A lot more to that, but we're skimming the footnotes here)

Fuck -ism's.... understand that we're all bitching about the same things, and it all kinda boils down to a class inequality. Be kind, understanding, and unified. There are much greater things to tackle after putting out the small fires. Ya gotta start somewhere, but don't be fooled into division. We all deserve equality and a sense of security

No war but the class war.

Wealth equality would objectively improve the lives of every single person, not just women or minorities, but every single person.

Fighting wealth inequality is the ultimate humanitarianism.
