    Why I believe that Feminism is not about equality

    The core of Feminism is a belief in Patriarchy hypothesis - that all societies currently and historically exist in a state of class warfare between men and women, With men winning. This supposes that men have either engaged in or passively supported a social tradition that violently suppresses women, Keeping both men and women in restrictive gender roles, Such as women-as-caregivers. If this is true, This means that for thousands of years, Women have failed to raise men that see women as human beings deserving of rights. This means that at least one of the following must be true: A) Women are singularly inept at raising children. Considering that this is a gendered role that "Patriarchy" keeps them restricted to, It implies a level of ineptitude on the part of men too, Since they are restricting important work to people who lack the skills. And/or B) Men are incapable of breaking the sociopathy required to see their own mothers, Daughters, Partners, Any woman they claim to "love" as human beings. This is where the likes of Sally Miller Gearhart and her male genocide narrative are at least consistent in their beliefs - nobody can change these monsters, And they're not going to change themselves, So genocide is the only option. If someone claims to be a feminist, And/or believes in Patriarchy, They are supporting a narrative that requires a worldview of women as incompetent, Men as monstrous, Or both. That is not "supportive" of men - misandry is a necessary component of Feminism's core belief.
