Title: Why Do Men Talk So Much? Musing From a Time Traveler About the Necessity of Patriarchy

Under the myth of patriarchy we are told it will produce a man capable of providing for our physical protection, financial stability and sexual satisfaction in exchange for the role as leader of the workforce and the household. By our late teens, we have been thoroughly encouraged to entrust our lives to these men, bear their children and commit to lifelong pair bonding.

Some feminist reject us but I don’t find that be be enough. I ostensibly object to the myths and assumptions of patriarchy. The leader-provider narrative gives moral authority to be responsible for guiding the lives of non-men. That is a faulty assumption and an unnecessary responsibility. Additionally, it is breach of the self governing autonomy of all non-men.

With all due respect for the value men do bring to humanity, I cannot encourage non-men enough to to reassess their motivations to be governed by patriarchy. As the girls like to say, it is not giving what is supposed to be gave. And I will add, it was never intended to be for the giving, only for the controlling.

Some might wonder what my biases are, call to question my sexuality and my self-esteem. None of which can be objectively assessed given the path humanity has taken. Who hurt me? Men’s audacity. So, am I a hater or historian? So with that, I say, fuck men, and the path of crumbs, abuse of power and overly assumed sexual competence that they have thrusted into our collective history.

What proof do I have of my argument why haven’t I listed any? Because I don’t have to. Check the records. Ask Jeeves. Google it. Feel deep into your subconscious and remember it. Look at your marriage, look at the quality of your life, look at your boyfriend or husband. I mean really look at that bastard. Ask yourself why you tolerate him? I mean really reflect, like, have existential crisis about it. When you’re done throwing up and crying on the floor, I hope you remember these words.
