Sheesh the accuracy of this is actually sickening 💯📢👌🏾 and heavy on the cognitive dissonance cos still there'll be many fixing their mouths to say "not all men!" 🙄

Hello Saint,

First off, great writing. Really draws you in!

Reading through a few of your posts, i can't help but feel you have a personal vendetta against men. Theres lots of analysis but i wonder what actual in-person conversations youve had with men about your perceptions of them in this world?

I have a good feeling you will find that most of us are dynamic persons-just like you: Exposed to the same gender, political and societal expectations. but i think it would be good to look at the brighter side of mankind.

Theres always something "bigger" than us but drawing conclusions from those big machines and apply it to day to day life can be misleading to the everyday person just trying to live life.

hopefully your analysis of men is met with the same analysis to women in this world. I feel if we listen to each other with more intent, well find more similarities between ourselves than differences.

Keep up the good writing & best of luck to you in all your endeavors 🙌🏼

I don’t have a vendetta—I simply observe the behaviors of both men and women. This article is the second in a three-part series analyzing harmful societal patterns, not just from my own experiences but from those shared by many.

I’ve also examined women’s behaviors in The Apologist of Internalized Misogyny, so feel free to check that out. My work focuses on the reality of human nature, not just the optimistic side—because basic decency should be the bare minimum. If that’s what you’re looking for, my work isn’t here to provide it.

I don't think saint is implying that all men are on this scale, this is a scale of patriarchal men, although I suspect many of us are, if we really examine ourselves. If you see yourself on this list, then you have work to. If you don't, then watch out for your male friends and help any of them that need it.

Saint,

I completely understand. Afterall i read in your introductory blog post that you write for yourself and to clear your mental cache. it is your blog afterall, but i figured it also good to see how your readers who have different life experiences than you, read through your postings.

looking forward to your updates

I think you already have an understanding of it since you recognize they all contribute to it

Don't act naïve, you have read lots of stuff feminists have written about the patriarchy and you disagree with it. You're just trying to draw saint out into an argument, just for the sake of a rant. Saint has correctly not fallen for your ploy. I am also not going to fall for it. Do your own research and investigation and write your own articles, with your own views on the patriarchy.

"It seems that no matter what men do, they somehow contribute to it all the same." - this is a typical Straw Man logical fallacy and you know it, again just trying to provoke to an argument.

If you want to engage with the content, then engage sensibly - to understand it and her views better. If you just want to put in minimal effort, purely to spark an argument - just don't you're wasting everyone's time.
