Why would the patriarchy say men are bad and dangerous to women? They’ll never look at men as the bad ones

Because have you ever heard of these scenarios?

Abusive fathers telling their daughters that men are dirty perverts who only want one thing so that the only man they have in their lives is him.

Abusive boyfriends and husbands saying “you can’t leave me because all the other guys are sexist pigs”

Conservative religious places where women can’t dress up, wear makeup, date boys, etc because “men are obsessed with sex and women are pure virgins” 

Parents telling their daughters not to get educated or have careers using “men will rape you” as an excuse, and marrying them against their will to “protect them” from other men 

Patriarchy stems from a misguided and twisted attempt to protect women, not because of hatred towards women. You know how sometimes parents become so overprotective of their children that they turn into their abusers? You see the exact same principle at work with patriarchy, because women were considered dependents when it was at its height. 

And feminist talking points these days are coming from the exact same place, it’s getting old and needs to stop.
