It’s hard for young boys to resist the messages of the patriarchy

Yes, it is, which is why we have to shout that those messages are wrong.

Or better we go back to being quiet and let the old conditions continue, you know, just to make things easier on everyone?

We have to alienate them, alienating is defined as disconnecting, they must be alienated from what you call 'the patriarchy', and I consider a dysfunctional pseudo-masculine culture.

I was just a nerd growing up, and bullied pretty much constantly, it wasn't easy for me either, life is hard sometimes, but if we solve this properly now nobody will have to deal with it again in the future, and it's destroying the lives of boys and girls.

Dude if you're on the left and you alienate boys and men you're not alienating them from the patriarchy. You're alienating them from the LEFT.

The patriarchy does it's own alienating by being shitty to them by forcing them into toxic ideals masculinity and cutting them off from their humanity. We have to provide a welcoming community. We PRIDE OURSELVES on providing a welcoming community for victims of the patriarchy. For some reason some people on the left think that just because the patriarchy is topped by a small group of men that the rest of the men can't be victims or don't otherwise deserve a welcoming space where they can work on dismantling the patriarchy with us.

We're destroying the pyramid from the bottom. We can only destroy the systems of oppression that affect US. If men don't do their share we'll never get to the people at the top. They'll always be out of reach.
