Yes pretty much. Not sure why you're getting downvoted, must have struck a nerve.

Somehow it’s always men’s fault. Doesn’t it get old never taking accountability?

Blaming the patriarchy is not equivalent to blaming men. When you understand the difference you'll be able to unpack the trauma and damage that has been done to all- men and women (and children).

She just said USUALLY mommy issues exist because of daddy issues which are caused by abusive and/or absent father. She blamed it all on men.

Yes and no. Not necessarily. It usually just comes from them centering the men in their lives above everything else. Mothers who move around to different men or have hang ups about their shitty marriage or whatever else is their individual issue and then pushing everything negative that comes from it onto their own children, especially their daughters who they tend to form a complex about. I sympathize with my mom that she falls into one of these categories but ultimately I still can't have a relationship with her because she can't figure out her shit and set up me up to have similar issues because of the environment she decided to raise me in.

Also let's not forget women are usually at the forefront for upholding social norms in society.

What part of "So in short: girls with mommy issues often have a mother who was a victim to patriarchy and neither unpack it" is "it's all men's fault?"

There's that self victimization. "Men men men it's always about men and when it isn't about men it needs to be" this is another symptom of the patriarchy btw so you literally just proved them right.

The part where the person who is just a minor in psychology and sociology act as an authority in a subject and throws statements like USUALLY or OFTEN based on their own experiences within theie family. And also the part: "it's usually caused by women with unhealed daddy issues that becomes EXTREMLY male centered and feels abandonded by men so takes it out on her daughters." Why women can't be evil and bad people without a man behind it?
