In order to justify your nonsense, you continue to fight battles won long ago. You rage against threats that exist only in your mind.. You focus on the colour of schoolbags, sexist pronouns, pink toys in Kinder Surprises and the sharing of dish-washing duties in relationships. All the while completely ignoring what it is that really threatens the freedom of women.. Your aversion towards the patriarchy, manifested in the form of straight white males, has led you you to become bedfellows of all the other minorities who share that aversion. Marion Le Pen
About This Quote

When you speak about the patriarchy, you are really talking about the problems that individuals or groups of individuals face in their day to day life. The oppression of women is a very real issue for many people. However, people often use the patriarchy as an excuse to fight against something that does not need fighting. To them, feminism is an excuse to fight against things that they do not like.

Therefore, they also use feminism as an excuse to hurt other people who share interests with them. For example, people who are homophobic may use feminism as an excuse to hurt straight white males by saying that the latter are part of the patriarchy.
