WTF are you even talking about??? Women are fighting constantly and relentlessly (getting quite bloodied in the process) to be taken seriously, to break the glass ceiling, to make inroads into "male coded" spaces. They suffer hugely for this, and yet they keep at it. A good bit of the time, women who seek power, who demand to be treated with respect, who won't stand for sexual harassment get punished for that in brutal ways - and yet they keep doing it anyhow.

And most women are the center tent pole in their families and in their relationships. They hold the entire thing together, and when it becomes untenable women initiate 75% of divorces - even though that typically comes with a significant financial penalty because this economic climate really requires two incomes in order to be stable.

You are correct that conservative women are digging their own graves, with a smile on their faces, but that's not the rest of us. Other women are fed up, leaving dating in droves and shunning second marriages, dealing with constant abuse for having standards that are too high, for not being 1950s women, and saying, Fuck You, if you can't act like anything but an ill tempered child, we'll do it without you. The Manosphere is a direct reaction to those types of women. Don't fucking tell me that women aren't fighting and aren't trying! Over 3 million people marched in the Women's March of 2106 in the US alone - with sister marches all across the world. "And in October 2017, MarchOn, a progressive group founded by march leaders from around the country, launched a Super PAC as part of its efforts to create political change, including mobilizing supporters to vote in the 2018 midterm elections and beyond."

And no, matriarchy is a terrible idea that is completely unsustainable even if it were possible - which it absolutely is not. You cannot hold someone by the throat and demand that they be the kind of person that you want them to be. It's never going to work. Be kind, be caring and cooperative - or I'm going to kick you in the balls. 🙄

Dominance hierarchy social systems are the problem, not men. There are cultures all over the world where women are respected, where raped doesn't exist, where men spend a lot of time taking care of and loving their children, where there is balance and reciprocity between the genders. We just need to start moving more fully in that direction and for guys to realize just how much that benefits them. That requires talking over the backlash - but the backlash itself is an indication of just how far we've come. The Manosphere wouldn't exist if we hadn't made enough progress to agitate them. A lot more progress is needed, to be sure, and we need more men to help, but don't act like women aren't fighting hard because that is really insulting to all the pain and all the sacrifices that women make every single day, both individually and collectively to try to drag our culture into a more equitable future.
