    The patriarchy harms all genders. Blaming people who are suffering helps no one. There are plenty of lonely folks who had no hand in building this system.

      I assume it’s not saying that every man had a hand in creating the system rather the system was designed and built predominantly by [wealthy/white] men.

    I don’t remember anyone asking for my input on the creation of this system, or its continuance.

      input on the creation of

      Well no, they’re all dead. Though arguably this is closer to an agile model.

      or its continuance

      If i create a new account somewhere and dont specify woman, i get asked. I cannot believe you dont. Only that you’re not aware of it.

        The meme says I built the system. I didn’t. I had absolutely nothing to do with building it. As you said, that was done long ago, by other people.

        As for the 2nd part…I have no idea what that even means. I get asked all the time what my gender is, when I create a new account somewhere…but obviously not every time. Are you saying that every time I’m not asked…you still are?

    While I agree in that patriarchy should be ended I’d like to ask that users kindly refrain from misandry as fearmongering generates a positive feedback loop for the far right extreemists to exploit and especially in this case the cringe manosphere.
