Do Men Really Benefit From Patriarchy?

Do men really benefit from patriarchy?  Yes and no.  In a relative sense, yes, but in an absolute sense, no.

The vast majority of us fellas get chewed up and spat out by the system, at least in the long run.  It is a NEGATIVE-sum game.  And people of ALL genders would be better off without it.  Keep in mind that it also intersects with oligarchy, plutocracy, kleptocracy, and the larger kyriarchy as well.  It is one big Ponzi pyramid scheme and protection racket, and literally the largest and oldest one.

I think of it like this.  If the bad guys were to suddenly vanish from the face of the Earth, would the good guys be better off, or worse off, on balance?  I think the answer is pretty obvious.  Just like that famous natural experiment with the baboons, where the most violent and aggressive ones ate the tainted meat and removed themselves from the population.  The rest of them, both male and female, were significantly better off on balance.  Let that sink in for a moment.

So fellas, we seriously need to stop carrying water for that system that would throw us under the bus for 50 cents without a second thought.  Yesterday.
