See the full 33 minute video essay on YouTube!

Ironically that this is the first time I got an understandable explanation why even the powerless men profit from patriarchy and it came from a man...

I don't know why a man would think he is superior to women or vice versa. People with such beliefs are weird in my eyes. Modern dudes I know don't tend to see themselves as superior to women, except perhaps in believing they could probably lift more weight than most women or something like that.

If all men are elevated and are devalued how men have to earn value while women have are desired for being women. And what women in Work force spend work time making unrelated personal small talk

I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20, 000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 60, 000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967736246190 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/--~««, ”Π|, ”Π|, ”Π|, ”Π|, ”Π|, ”Π|, ”Π|, ”Π|, ”Π|, ”Π|, ”Π|, ”Π|, ”Π|, ”Π|~:~¡~¡~¡~;I.i.i.i.i.i.

I don't understand why this commentary exists

This is an absurd presentation of the idea of patriarchy. Under patriarchy, a man's value is derived from the position of power he holds and his ability to provision. A woman is placed upon a pedestal for beauty and femininity, her value being that of nurturing and childbearing. The primary difference between the Sexes is that for a man, his value is performative for a woman her value is innate. A man at the bottom of a social hierarchy, though he may hold the hope that he can Elevate himself, in fact is worth less than a woman because he cannot provide and provision. He is both invisible to women and disrespected by his superiors.

The cost of patriarchy is paid buy non-productive males, those at the bottom of the social hierarchy who have no status or wealth, and unattractive or post childbearing women with no children. A woman may always have status as a mother, grandmother, so forth, and be deemed deserving of protection and provision. A man who has no ability to provide or protect is regarded as less than a dog.


While there have been many sociological movements to deal with the issue of patriarchy, whether it be democracy, communism, feminism, there is no real escape from it. Egalitarian societies or pre- patriarchy societies are primitive Societies are always overwhelmed and enslaved by patriarchal societies. There is no greater motivator for capital accumulation and achievement then that of lineage in status for a man. And societies which do not offer this Avenue to men are overwhelmed by those societies which do. Once a civilization has accumulated capital in the division of labor, all societies failing to do so become their slaves.

No matter how much we all like to delude ourselves about morality, goodness, and religion, we all understand that the world is ruled by only the considerations of wealth and power, and though we may try to shrink from such competitions the result is that you are overwhelmed with servitude and poverty.

So we don’t live in a patriarchy by definition
