    I don't think it's right to act as if women are immune from criticism, especially if they are doing something socially harmful like encouraging people to kill themselves. this tweet is not directed at the oppressor, if she was telling Elon Musk to kill himself that would be one thing

    while women are absolutely oppressed in our patriarchal society I think it's wrong and naive to view patriarchy as a system wherein all men are oppressing all women. it's a system wherein a small number of privileged men oppress the rest of us. rhetoric like this plays right into their game

    edit because my post was admittedly too class-reductionist: I should note that poor / working-class men absolutely have privileges that women do not and men are often misogynistic and abusive regardless of class

      this tweet is not directed at the oppressor,

      This tweet was directed at a man saying women should be subjugated Saudi Arabia style

          Right, of course the correct response would be joining a militant women's organization seeking to overthrow the patriarchy. But barring that I suppose all one can do is post...
