Because feminism is a women's movement which only briefly touches on men's issues, when men talk to feminists about their problems, feminists blame "the patriarchy". They say it "hurts men too", but how can that be right?

The issue with the patriarchy theory is that the patriarchy backfires heavily on men, which is unnatural for a system of oppression. Does white supremacy backfire on white people? No. Does class supremacy backfire on the rich? No. So why does the patriarchy, a male dominated oppression system backfire on men? It just doesn't make any logical sense!

Simply put, it does not exist. Or at least, it can't be called "the patriarchy", as since it hurts men too, but the name indicates it is a male dominated oppression system. There is just society, which provides gender roles for both men and women, both misandry and misogyny, there is no system of men oppressing women, unlike what feminists will tell you.
