The “Fight The Patriarchy” Facebook Page Shares 50 Truthful Posts And Memes That Might Make You Laugh Then Cry

I love that.

Louder for the people in the back!

Man here. Yes. This is absolutely correct, I cannot applaud this sentiment enough.

In my experience old ladies are a lot more badass than we give them credit for.

Me, an Asexual: "Have you heard the Good News about garlic bread?"

If all a dad is doing is focusing on the mom to "take care of her" then is he really taking care of her and the baby? *rhetorical*. Hormones are raging even after birth, and we're f*****g exhausted. Please change the diaper, let us pump out a nights worth of milk, console the crying, rock the baby while we have a nights sleep. It shouldn't be asking for so much. It should be a vital given so we're not endangering the baby and ourselves with extreme fatigue from sleep deprivation. forced sleep deprivation is actually a from of torture. It wasn't 1 person who made a baby. It was 2. It takes 2 people to raise a child healthily. It's not "just for moms", "women's work", "girl stuff". It's parents stuff, and parents includes dads.

Thank you, I needed to hear that today.

Exactly! This is why I can't wrap my head around people who oppose same sex marriage. It has no impact on anyone else's life, but a great positive impact on the lives of homosexual people who want to marry their partner. Why would that be a problem to anyone?

I so wish she was this powerful. Having a healthy population does wonders for a country, as well as the individuals.

I watch an awful lot of true crime and the sheer number of murders which happened because some pathetic a*****e couldn't handle being told no is f*****g insane.

I don't get this -- I mean, I'm 42, and when dad took us someplace or when mom was away, no one ever said dad was babysitting us.

There was a male at my school who came in wearing a shirt that said "Guinness." as is the beer. Nobody said a word. And my sister can't wear short shirts that barely show any skin? My friend with a big chest can't show a tiny bit of bra strap? My curls are "distracting?" WTF?

Every single woman I know has either been a victim of sexual assault or sexual harassment. Where are these mystical women they expect to get on a jury?

Conservatives: living their lives the way they want to, which includes demanding everyone everywhere be exactly like them.

Personally I think the worst thing about the #MeToo is the fact it needs to exist at all. We are, supposedly, evolved enough as a species that this sort of rubbish shouldn't be happening.

High heels were originally menswear anyway! The heel was for keeping your feet in the stirrups while you were riding around swinging swords and whatnot.

THIS!!!!!! This is why I could never support those campaigns even though the cause affected my family. Who cares if a woman loses the boobs if it saves her life?! That's one of the hardest things to deal with for a woman with breast cancer and the campaigns are suggesting that saving the breasts themselves is what matters. Save the women!!! Women are fine, whether they have a mastectomy and do or do not have reconstruction surgery. Their survival is the win!

*blocks everyone*

This is true for everything, thousands of years of abuse and injustice, but men and some women are whining for every tiny sugestion of respond or protest, like "I hate feminism in movies" or "feminism ruin cinema", come on! cine was sexist and chauvinist since... forever, and nobody complains

Now this i don't get, i don't understand the hatred towards Trans ppl, i mean its not like Trans women are going to schools at tell kids to chop off their d***s, i get the " unlove " for Trans women in sport competitivos, because a Trans woman Will have an unfair advantage Over a cis woman, but a part from that " live and let live "

You can’t provide your mom or sister with health insurance? Is this standard in US?

We shouldn't need to but we fear the reaction if we don't and you know what, that really stinks.

I can see where Tati is coming from, a good relationship will help you both grow, but I can also see what J means, especially when you see the man-children with their toxic views on gender.

And then, in California you have THE Dude.

Which is nonsense when you remember that marriage was basically the woman's father paying her husband to take her off his hands. Which completely explains why there has always been "spinsters" (god I hate that term) in every generation and why I hate the "who gives this woman to this man" part of a wedding ceremony.

No, an army of cats is preferable to marriage. 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛

I had an extremely vivid nightmare where I was shoved up against a wall and sexually assaulted by some guy - so vivid I thought it was all real. And you know what the worst part was? My *first thought* other than "oh god please no" was a resigned, miserable, "well, I guess it was bound to happen eventually." :(

“Oh no! My child is being validated! The horror!” Where’s the logic?

I laughed at warm pita pocket, now I am going to put a pita pocket in the microwave for 10 seconds or so.

I'm super impressed that they are even able to walk a mile in those shoes especially while also wearing socks! I'm a woman who has never gotten the hang of any high heel without an ankle strap - I'd make it about 100yards before falling on my bum.

My legal name is Alexandra, we meet, you happen to know my name from paperwork. You call me Alexandra, i correct you and tell you that actually i go by sasha. You call me sasha from the on because youre not an a*****e and we move on with our lives. You meet a person, call them "she" they correct you saying they prefer they/them, if at this point you start complaining about being "abused" and forced to do things, freedom yadda yadda, the situation is exactly the same as the first one. It has the same amount of impact on your life and your conversations with whomever. Theres no issue here of what youre allowed to do or believe, how many genders there are, freedom yadda yadda people are just asking you for basic common courtesy, use the address they prefer and be free to do and think whatever the hell you want and move on with your unchanged life.

At least in the USA some doctors still won't do a hysterectomy for medical reasons unless the woman's husband agrees because he might want children. Yet, if a 23-year-old man wants a vasectomy, there are no issues. Imagine if men had to get their wives' permission for any medication or medical procedures relating to their reproductive organs.

I have always found this to be profoundly creepy. I definitely had female friends in high school who were dating people in their 20s. It was impossible to get them to see that it wasn't their "maturity" the guys were after.

As a construction worker since 19 yes! I am 36 but the average guess is almost 50 when I meet new people. My knees are dead. My back is dying..i sold it to care for my son who turns 15 this year.... that being said, it's your body and you should be allowed to sell it in whatever way works for you. Sex work should be regulated for safety like all jobs, but should otherwise be totally legal... also it's bizarre that in western countries you can make it legal by filming it......

Why are women 'used cars' but the men who sleep with them are not?

‘These are private areas that nobody should touch without your permission’ is only threatening to those that believe that children are property.

It's easier to blame the victim than to acknowledge that the number of men victimising women is huge..

Not sure how that's "Feminism fighting the patriarchy" regardless of how true it may be. (I've not heard the later parts of that before)

Anything other than an enthusiastic ‘yes’ is a no.

Yes! Rooted in the same place - respect for the other person (by paying decent wages at work or by not molesting them at a bar).

My mom had cancer. Everything was covered under her provincial health card. Yeah, we pay taxes, but it covers us nicely so we don't have to scrounge and worry just to go to the clinic when we need to.

My favourite is 'Most women were against the vote for women's rights!', Yes Derrick, that's because they were brainwashed into thinking what a "woman" was, and that a woman's place was at home, doing needlework and making babies!

Maybe a bit off topic but let's be real-do you feel sad, happy, angry? Those are emotions, and we all have them. When I hear "women are emotional", I get the feeling that what they really mean is "women are irrational." Because all humans are emotional in some form or another.

I am going to ask a genuine question here. Women make up at least half of the customers in the clothing industry, there are companies with women in them, companies run by women, and there are women clothing designers. So why is the lack of pockets still a thing?

There's enough gatekeeping and hate outside the community without bringing it from inside as well.

My daughter was diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay. I learned that is a blanket term used when something specific is undetermined. She was assessed for Autism 3 times, by a psychiatrist who met her for 10 minutes. Both times they said she doesn't have Autism because she wasn't displaying all the same traits as a boy with Autism, and I've been told "girls don't have it. Only boys do." I've learned Autism has different traits in girls than boys and girls are often the most misdiagnosed of other things when they actually do have ASD.

The way women and some men put it on it should just be called that. I find anything labelled "for men" or "for women" laughable. Colour it how they want, name it how they want, what's inside all the same product for everyone.

I don't like the fireman/firewoman. We should call them "the brave water bringers and slayers of fire" 😃😃😉

This. And don't let them say religious sexism ("protect yourself by wearing modest outfit") is the answer to capitalistic sexism ("show your body around to sell it"). It's patriarchy all the way, and it is equally oppressive and very old. Just wear what makes YOU comfortable. Sometimes I see women in hijabs casually having fun with their friends in mini-skirts and not giving a f**k if a man is going to judge or sexualize anyone of them, and this is what civilization is supposed to look like in my opinion.

Australia: "You don't have to pay back a cent until your income is high enough. If that never happens, then don't worry about it."

would be easier just to not explaining myself that would take to much effort for me

Had a stalker for 5 years because I said ‘no’.

BaCk iN mY daY

Missing some text there. "Nobody wants to work anymore, for assholes that exploit them while paying minimum wage (or lower)"

can we not refer to those scum bags as men a real man would never out their hands on a woman

I use they/them unless someone tells me otherwise. I figured that was the most effective way of not causing unintentional offence when I first meet someone.

I also love "millennials are ruining home ownership by opting for tiny homes". People aren't buying tiny homes or living in vans because it's "trendy". It's trendy because it's the only way most people can feel like they're in control.

"Young people in Australia would be able to afford housing if they didn't go to cafes and buy smashed avocado on toast!" Said by an actual Australian politician and yes he was serious.

The clothing in my wardrobe varies by FOUR sizes. Four. Why can't the global economy decide on a standard system?

Not only that, the amount of tax dollars an individual pays that goes towards social assistance programs is miniscule. Majority of it goes towards infrastructure, public services, emergency and community safety services, community programs, schools, environmental services, corporations, politicians, city administrators, city council, public health services, etc.

Don't forget the faux sausage at Cracker Barrell

Nah, "f**k the haters, wear what you want" sounds better.

F-ing Protestant Work Ethic.
