    I never called Bob at the hardware store ruling class 🙃 but the ruling class is patriarchal and composed of men. The ruling class benefits from men being treated as superior to women. They are the apex of social power structures. There is no social power structure that disadvantages specifically them, there is no social power structure against men as a class.

    You still don’t understand what misogyny is or how it is different from any social pressure against men. I’m sorry guy, you and everyone man you know did not get sexually harassed by men on the street when you were 12. Every woman experiences misogyny. Every woman suffers misogynistic violence. It affects all of us as a class of people at every level across society. Time for you to ask yourself what is preventing you from listening to the experiences of women who are suffering differently from you. I have expressed concern for men’s issues throughout my comments, just because there is no power structure creating those issues systemically and through institutions does not mean that they’re not important. Its false equivalence over and over again.

    It’s not my job to convince you of the way women are suffering and how that suffering is condoned and perpetuated by society. It’s your job to educate yourself on the way the marginalized suffer. With that said, I’m done answering questions and engaging with you. I’ve more than explained intersectionality to you already.

      Okay… So previously in our discussion you dismissed systemic misandry, because “it’s not a power structure”.

      If Bob isn’t considered apart of the ruling class, then the oppression of Bob, and other men by the ruling class IS a power structure, and fits your definition of systemic misandry.

      And by all means you don’t have to engage with me. The only thing I’m really expecting you to teach me is the biases in your rhetoric, so no pressure.
