(8,681 posts)11. I think leftist/liberal/progressive men
can be pretty patriarchal/misogynistic/abusive as well, but perhaps not as a political social engineering movement in affirmation of that gross dominance.
Each side's men will tell you that they are protectors of women, but we don't have this misogynist manifesto like heritage does. We just ride with it and take advantage of the patriarchy. Male privilege.
Deconstructing means more women in control at all levels until we can evolve to a symbiosis that isn't sabotaged by sexual dominance. I think progressive men still have a ways to go. And we have to step up more to counter institutionalized patriarchy and misogynist manifestos.

This has been a 50-year project. They spent decades setting things up so they could knock them down quickly

This didn't start with Trump. It started with the white men who founded this country.
