Turns Out +++ Men Still Need Help Understanding How the Fucking Patriarchy Is to Blame in 2026
Do you remember choosing the hypothetical bear over the men we all know? I do, as I recall discussing it with the 2 women facilitating my Community Care program in the spring of 2024, so it was at least 2 years ago that I last wished for a mainstream discussion to finally land with those most able to disrupt the patriarchy that disproportionately kills us, i.e., the fucking men. Unfortunately, I deeply regret to inform you that far too many men remain wilfully ignorant enough for me to devote an entire newsletter post to this discussion, after a particularly victim blamey week of witnessing misogyny.
