I believe the poster is feminist and is saying "woke, feminist" facetiously and just pointing out a tendency of certain online spaces to subscribe to patriarchy but in the opposite direction.
I don't think so, it's increasingly common to conflate all feminism as misandry or claim all gender analysis is inherently sexist because you are viewing an array of problems through the lens of gender.
You can't subscribe to the opposite of patriarchy.....that would be a matriarchy, which doesn't exist in any modern western country, or arguably anywhere in the modern world.
This is the problem with equivocating misandry with misogyny. Yes people can be sexist towards men, but that sexism isn't the social norm, nor is it enforced through systemic or legal means.
a lot of modern feminist is a celebration of misandry and female victimhood, at least online feminism.
sexism towards men is a social norm. it's just a social norm that feminists are totally cool with
feminists generally don't think they should be discriminated against for their sex, but they also seem to have no issue generally discriminating against men for their sex, or feeling like patriarchal norms should only apply to men in their lives.
easy example is that women are disgusted by men watching porn, but see nothing wrong with reading erotica. it's bad/wrong ti idealize female bodies for sex, but totally cool if you do it to male bodies, apparently.
A lot of men's rights advocacy is just a celebration of misogyny and male victimhood, at least online.
sexism towards women is a social norm. it's just a social norm that men who use refer to women as females are totally cool with
I am a feminist, I am a married man. I'm not discriminating myself....
According to who? Most feminist believe that women should be able to make choices about their own body and sexuality, including participating in sex work. Youre just making shitty assumptions about a topic you have no education in.
