(AMA) I live in a patriarchy. Ask me anything.

@poolthematey: India has had a female Prime Minister. I also know many female Indian doctors.

Yep, Indira Gandhi. Indians are absolutely brilliant when it comes to learning new skills. One of the smartest people I've ever known was a girl and she's now doing her MBBS degree. If Indian women had a superpower their power would be memorization, kind of lame and would probably make a shitty movie though  

. Do you think these are advancements?

I don't follow. Advancements for whom and from what?

hmm, do you think it is possible that your viewpoint is biased?

Viewpoint? I'm not talking about viewpoints I'm describing the reality in which I've been living in for 21 years.

Reality as observed, depends on the mind of the observer, don't you agree? As such, your observations are from your point of view, hence "viewpoint"

Pool, you sound like the white guy in the US who screams reverse discrimination every time a minority or woman gets hired or advanced. 

If you think women have it so much better in your country you could always tuck it back and wear a mastectomy bra, talk a walk on the wild side and see how you like it. My guess is that you won't like it.

Nope. Not screaming about anything. Although I do think granting privileges based on race or gender is a bit idiotic, granting them based on wealth would make much more sense. "I need this job more than him" makes much more sense than "Buh buh but he has a penis and I don't!!!" or "But his skin color is white!!" like penis or skin color has fuck all to do with anything. Bringing race and gender into the equation is just to make the whole issue political and get votes. They will never actually help out minorities that would mean the poor neighborhoods will actually prosper and once they prosper maybe they'll change party, can't have the slaves breaking down the chains and going free now can we, gotta have em votes comin' in.

Are you kidding me? I would've loved it if I were born a woman. Get treated practically like a precious diamond until 20 by dad and then choose a healthy slave(husband) to be my property that works for me and puts up with my nagging until I die? Fucking day dream.

Then medical science has the answer. Get busy, follow your dream!

Haha, I'm not sick enough in the head to go through that. No thanks mate.

Families prefer to let their boys be work slaves and keep hold of the girls as their precious diamonds protected from all hardships and negative emotions.

Which is actually an example of sexism against women.

Work slaves my ass. It's more like "Only men can handle work. You precious little flowers should stay back home." Ugh.

You really are such a pig. It is so infuriating when you pretend like men have a hard time whilst continuing to show your misogyny.

That's the thing though, according to definitions a patriarchy is supposed to be all hugs and kisses for men. It's not. Our job is to break our backs working for others because Men are supposed to be leaders of a family. Patriarchy is a bit like men being voluntarily work slaves.

hmm, do you think it is possible that your viewpoint is biased?

And, if your society is actively oppressing men, why do you call it a patriarchy?

I don't think Pool knows what words mean.

You got it in one. That's exactly what he's like.

See THIS is why I call you a bigoted moron. Because you make statements like this that are moronic and bigoted.

Sounds like pool wants to be a kept man. Pool, you're gonna need to step up your game. From what I see you have nothing worth paying for.

But then, neither do I.
