As a MGTOW or a grass easter (certain kind of MGTOW) [View all]

I am against Patriarchy because I am not interested in the gender roles of marriage 1.0 or marriage 2.0 or the idea of marriage at all. I have tasted freedom and have escaped the bondage of the worker drone paradigm and being a slave to the big corporate machine. The fundamental problem I have is when those that proclaim to be against patriarchy for the good of all women do not apply this for men as well...that is a contradiction. I am against gender roles for men and women flat out...that is my belief system and I am consistent about it.

Feminism can't make progress if a segment of it fights patriarchy on behalf of women but still expects men to conform to traditional gender roles. This is why a topic like women having to register for the military draft is a touchy subject for example but it is something we must discuss for true equality to take place.
