Responses to Matriarchy vs. Patriarchy

[Martin Hash]

??? My wife is part of The Patriarchy. So is my daughter. I'm missing your point.

"The Patriarchy" was a cleverly chosen word by the other side to muddy what they were talking about, and make people think it was all men vs. women, but it's a conflict of ideologies: The American Dream vs. Marxism.

"Violence is the ultimate arbitrator." - me

"Men only relinquish their Right of Violence because they are benefited by doing so; if that is no longer true, men will reclaim their only Natural Right." - me

A neutral observer encountering your philosophy for the fist time might easily assume you view socio-political issues as men vs women. Further explaining that your wife and daughter are on team Patriarchy will do little to clarify things. The terms matriarchy and patriarchy have pre-existing definitions that already apply to government, and they aren’t compatible with your usage. That’s all.

It’s going to confuse people.

Dude, I didn't choose "The Patriarchy." The opposition did.

How little you know about the human condition. I suggest my book, "Philosophy of an Old Cyber-Cowboy," available on Amazon.

p.s. You should use "The Wysest Myn in the Wyrld" (that's me) as more of a resource.

So ... why use their terminology? Doesn’t that simply allow them to frame the debate, achieving a rhetorical victory and tying your hands straight out of the gate?

How would that debate go?
“Down with The Patriarchy.”
“You don’t mean patriarchy, you mean liberty, meritocracy & Nationalism.”
“We mean The Patriarchy, you sexist man-scum.”
“You’re trying to control the narrative, you’ve taking patriarchy and redefined it.”
“What’s wrong with your ears? Down with The Patriarchy.”

“Down with the Patriarchy”

“Good news, you don’t live in one. Next issue”

I’ll try that at the next LOWV debate.
