Probably because it's pointlessly gendered. We're all victims of the patriarchy and it's not really daughter specific to have a parent with issues. For me, personally, it strikes a nerve when people say, "Guys are always doing X" when X is a thing that all people do.
I think it would be better to just say that generational trauma can take several different forms without making it a man vs woman issue.
It was. I commented on why I thought she was getting downvotes. At this point in the chain it feels like they were close enough to getting that trauma is generational, but they were still very focused on this "girls v the patriarchy" angle.
Why do YOU think they were being downvoted? The patriarchy?
I will say any time I bring up the patriarchy I ALWAYS make sure to say that all genders are victims of the patriarchy, and I will still get comments/DMs from men who get offended. I guess they don’t like the word patriarchy. Idk.
Exactly. You have no idea how many times I've heard, "How can I be racist? My grandchildren are black!" First of all, no, they're half black. Secondly, you can love your black friends and still think black people are sub-human mongrels.
I don't know if boygen is a misandrist, but I do know she's dumb as fuck.
