Unless explicitly delineated otherwise, I assume every thread is about the USA.

I guess my bottom line is that if someone is to make a claim, similar to racisim, sexism, etc...what is the calibrating standard that was used to make a claim like that? Why is this claim only made in the western 1st world countries? Things like "the patriarchy" isn't even a thing in western 2nd world countries.

I think we have too much time to worry about too many things, that at the end of the day, doesn't really matter. Seems it has only made things worse over time. American women are more unhappy today. American minorities are more unhappy today. Neither have ever held more power, influence or wealth than they do today.

Where does this end? What is the end goal?

I think that we are in an abysmal state.

I think the reality is that we’ve always had patriarchy at the intersection of capitalism and white supremacy, and how those things feast on one another and lift one another. But I think right now, more times than not, the role models that these young boys and young men have are not only divisive and toxic but insidious and heinous, disgusting. Truly, I mean, the president of the United States is an alleged rapist. What does that mean? You know, the popular thing that boys are watching is largely M.M.A., right? So I think we’re in a horrible place.

First words out of this idiot's mouth. Made sure to get all the buzzwords in by the second sentence.

And, cool, can we men wax expertise in these same media conversations about femininity that all these women enjoy the same privilege regarding masculinity?

AI rocks

They are going to end up gender wierd

Feminists can't help but try to make boys terrified or ashamed of being boys

Ends with boys wanting to be girls

Can you help me understand an example of a system that advantages white men disproportionately, in any context, over another minority?

---

Sure. One historical example would be housing policy and mortgage lending in the mid-20th century United States. Programs like FHA-backed loans and redlining practices disproportionately expanded homeownership opportunities for white families while excluding many Black families from the same wealth-building mechanisms.

Another example would be criminal sentencing disparities, where multiple studies have found Black defendants often receive harsher sentences than similarly situated white defendants.

Healthcare outcomes are another example. Multiple studies have found that Black patients in the United States often receive different treatment than white patients even when controlling for insurance status, income, and reported symptoms.

None of this means white men universally benefit in every situation or that individual white men cannot struggle.

Idk why y’all make bizarre assumptions about me and my family. We’re pretty wholesome and normal.
