The Patriarchy started following you.
Sometimes it occurs to me that searching for ‘patriarchy’ and then following all the people writing about patriarchy might actually be the best part of The Patriarchy (qua tumblr).
This link will take you to tons of letters that this organization has recieved, by feminist men. Definitly uplifting to read testimonies from men who are on board :)
Just one example
I am pro-feminist because women’s liberation is necessary if we are to build a just world free from sexism, racism and homophobia. I am pro-feminist because women are partners in the struggle to end
militarism, imperialism and colonialism. I am pro-feminist because women deserve the right to live their lives free from male violence and oppression. I am pro-feminist because I can see no other way to live my life with dignity and pride. I am pro-feminist because if over 50% of the world’s population are not free none of us are truly free. I am pro-feminist because it is right and just.Peace,

Sex with feminists and picking up ladies at pro-choice rallies.
In 1902, Winifred Harper Cooley imagined a 21st century without sweatshops or slums. Cooley was a US feminist, once described as a radiant woman “in flowing, graceful robes”, and in this new world, she explained, no one would be tramping the streets without a home, or be unemployed. The world’s labour would be shared so that each person only worked five hours a day. Society would be fair, just and equal.(Via moreapologies)
I like how this is in the “Life & Style” section of The Guardian. Burying the lead in the women’s section, since forever.
Also, re: the quote, LOL.

This doesn’t even make any sense. More like, “I *drink* every woman’s outrage about where they put us.”
MORONIC. I’m dubious that a movie can do justice
to the greatest novel in world literature. It should
be a miniseries or a one year tv series.
Just read her works and ignore the statist-collectivist
retards who denigrate her.
They are zeroes and Rand will live forever while all of her critics are
forgotten. —

It’s taken a while, and a few tries, but we maales (sic) have found us a Cheval de Troie in Ayn Rand: A woman who writes and thinks like a U Chicago via Brigham Young Poli-Sci major.
Thinking about buying this pepper mill, the 9-inch Unicorn Magnum Plus. Because, you know, I don’t have anything to prove. Especially in the kitchen.
In case you missed it, here’s the second Week In Patriarchy, on Tiger Beatdown. Expect more posts on The Patriarchy’s official Tumblr web presence, too.
Seems fitting: Longest day of the year is such a phallic notion.
