Sigh

No. It’s not an exact comparison. That doesn’t make it a bad one. It’s just the difference that arises naturally between two different systems of oppression.

Capitalisms reason for existence is free labor and free peasants. Patriarchy is the domination of non-men. One group, by its very existence, is defined by labour (and choice) and the other is by who you are.

This is basic stuff.

Of course cops choose to be cops. The bourgeois choose to be bourgeois. That is the essence of capitalism.

Men don’t choose to be men. But that doesn’t make them any less responsible for the state of being (patriarchy) than the bourgeois are for capitalism.

Fucking.

Think of it in terms of race if that helps. White people don’t choose to be white. But they still benefit from being white. So you can call white people the devil or crackers or colonisers or whatever. You don’t fucking coddle them and say not all whites are evil.

No. White people, by virtue of being white, and insofar as they’re white, are trash. Same for men.

I’m sorry if that seems unfair or whatever. I’ll stop calling men trash when they stop the oppression, deal?
