Would women rather be alone in the woods with a bear or a man?

Why is there a sex offender registry but not a registry for those who have been convicted of beating the women in their lives?

Bringing back laws from the 1800's means they want women to be the way women were in the 1800's.

Women are still being shamed for things that are natural in their bodies. From periods to internal exams.

Men need to figure it out just like women did.

The language we use sets men up to have the benefit of the doubt while women just have bad things happen to them.

There is a lot of confusion around the word patriarchy. It's often misued and misunderstood. It's not a bad word, it's a system in place that benefits men at the expense of women and it's been happening for centuries. This is a look at that.
