Yes, all those things you've mentioned happen because we live under a patriarchal system - because as I already pointed out to you quite clearly - patriarchy means a dominance hierarchy system, not one in which it's a slam dunk for men. Although you do need to get your facts straight - men do not suffer more violence than women - certainly not 5 times as much. As you'll note in the graph, in most years it's pretty even — with the exception of 2005, and in some years, women have even suffered more violence. And if you take into account sexual violence, women experience a whole lot more. But that’s not the only metric of suffering, although I won’t bother to go into the rest because you are clearly not receptive to facts and I’m not going to waste my time.

As noted before, this is my academic area of expertise - the sociology of the dominance hierarchy system in America. But since you prefer to assume I'm saying things that I'm not, and disregarding the things that I am saying out of hand without even truly considering them, I'm going to conclude that you are way too emotional on this topic to have a reasonable discussion anyhow. And yes, that is a serious problem. It’s guys like you who keep us all stuck so I’m going to use my time in more productive ways.
