May we still crush the Patriarchy?

In the post Adolescence/ Gareth Southgate world is feminism as an act of war on the patriarchy still allowed?

Should we perhaps instead be letting our men hug it out whilst we deploy 🙌 emoji to show our support of the nümanosphere?

I’m genuinely confused as to the role of female empowerment in a world where the focus is currently back on men.

AIBU?

What in the world are you wittering on about back there?

Ok I’ll try again -

The last two weeks have seen a focus on young men and how society is failing them. Justified and the reasons are clearly laid out.

However I can’t help feeling that, despite this, the balance in life is still very much weighted in the favour of men.

Feels like pretty un PC to say it though.

What's Gareth Southgate got to do with it all?

May I suggest you take some water with that whisky?

Haven't seen it. I'd say yes, you are entitled to smash the patriarchy. Even if they're hugging each other.

Are you on glue?

No. Should I be? Would it help provide clarity?
