the most simplest way of explaining patriarchy, the way that finally got it to click for me was this:

all men directly and indirectly benefit from being seen as stronger, smarter, morally superior, and overall better than women. whether they actively participate in misogyny or not, they still benefit from it

all woman directly and indirectly suffer from being seen as less intelligent, vapid, morally weak, and inferior to men. whether they have been physically victimized by misogynists or not, they are still victimized by misogyny

This is just “all white people benefit from slavery” for women.

yes you’re right, all white people benefit indirectly and directly from slavery, racism, and colonialism! i’m so glad you’re starting to put it together
