Not surprising, but still depressing and infuriating. Fuck the patriarchy, burn gender norms down and use the ashes to fertilise a new world where men aren't precious little entitled princes
"There are darker findings too. A 2023 study from Australia, for example, found that women who earn more than their male partners are also significantly more likely to be physically and emotionally abused by that partner. "When women's income exceeds that of their partners," the authors write, "the violation of a gender norm creates a strong negative effect."

Image Description: A graphic titled “Rape Culture” that has a triangle with words and a background gradient of darker red at the top peak, orange in the center, and yellow at the bottom. On the side of the pyramid is an arrow and 3 works, explaining the the gradient. Normalization leads to Degradation which leads to Assault. The text under the pyramid explains the relationship: “Tolerance of the behaviors at the bottom supports or excuses those higher up. To change outcomes, we must change the culture. If you see something, say something! Start the conversation today.” The words inside the pyramid, starting with the top and most severe: Rape, Drugging, Molestation, Stealthing (Covert Condom Removal), Contraceptive Sabotage, Victim Blaming & Shaming, Coercion/Manipulation, Threats, Revenge Porn, Safe Word Violations, Groping, Non-Consensual Photo or Video, Flashing & Exposing, Unsolicited Nude Pics, Catcalling, Unwanted Non-Sexual Touch, Stalking, Sexist Attitudes, Rape Jokes, Locker Room Banter Link for “Rape Culture Pyramid” by 11th Principle: Consent! – https://www.11thprincipleconsent.org/consent-propaganda/rape-culture-pyramid/

For Firestone, to live successfully as a woman under patriarchy—to submit to the unfairness of gender relations, to smilingly endure your subordinate status and the limits it places on your freedom and dignity—was itself a kind of well-adjusted madness, a trade-off wherein women gained social approval in exchange for accepting the myth of their own inferiority.

Let's Dutton-proof Australia and stop the LNP and Trumps Christian nationalist plot spreading further here, and taking away rights from anyone not a white cis christian man

"it’s a transparent ploy to create more (white) babies, and it’s also a way of buying men’s loyalty to capitalism by ensuring their special role as a better-waged worker and provider, always more respected and remunerated than their wives and women service workers."
But of course, the left can’t create a special, mythic, heroic role for men, because the left is invested in equality for all workers. This is also why we see such strong efforts by the right to degrade women’s work and to force many women into child-bearing roles; yes, it’s a transparent ploy to create more (white) babies, and it’s also a way of buying men’s loyalty to capitalism by ensuring their special role as a better-waged worker and provider, always more respected and remunerated than their wives and women service workers. Maybe you can’t literally fight mountain lions, but at least you can maintain your small feeling of superiority. The left has failed to develop a strong answer to the desire for petty dominance because it’s hard to compete with such stupid bullshit. Solidarity with other human beings is also great and can feel wonderful—but nothing is ever going to feel as empowering as power over others, especially if you’ve decided you enjoy it, as some voters (not all men and not exclusively men) obviously do.
