Name one thing patriarchy normalized so well– you never even realized it was patriarchy

1. This is more of a traditional thing I guess, but a father "giving away" his daughter when she's getting married to a man; or a man having to ask her father for permission to marry her. 2. Women being seen as more prone to emotional outbursts/being "too sensitive/emotional". 3. Single/widowed fathers are praised for raising their children, no m......   reply

This is a bit silly and might be a chronically online take but since we're talking about things most of us don't even realise is kinda misogynistic...Calling men with more 'feminine' traits malewife? or mothers? Like they'd still be a father even if they're more domestic right or househusbands. It's not like we see women get called female husband o......   1 reply

I didn’t realize this until well into my late teenage years, but it’s so sexist that men only have the title of “Mr” while women have either the title of “Ms” or Mrs” depending on her marital status.

The thought that being a woman means you need to do your best to look presentable and attractive to society and when a man takes care of himself he's questioned if "he's acting like a girl" or if he's gay. If a woman doesn't feel the need to dress up her best she is shamed or she's called a pick me..... Never got the one trend where a girl goes to ......   reply

The presumption that we always have it together. We can be very messy too, life also hit us like a truck. Give us some grace. Also, that we could/would settle for less in the end, either bcs we're just all that agreeable or bcs we have an "expiration date".   reply

1. Men being praised when they grow up well without a mother or father, but women being judged as if they're doomed to have behavioral issues due to the lack of one. 2. Colors being sexualized on women. Too many little girls grow up being told "red is a big girl color", "pink is girly and innocent", "white makes you look so pure", to the point som......   1 reply
