One part of the patriarchy I can't stand is its love for loud and big vehicles. Since the primary users are also disproportionately represented in government, and regulation against them is extremely unpopular with constituents, we see a never ending arms race.

Buying stuff like this is such a copout for assuaging your insecurities. You don't even have to put in work like going to the gym, risk your health with a physical fight, or make yourself appealing and attract a partner. You can just pull out your wallet and have a free pass to get attention by being a dangerous jerk to everyone around you for years to come.


That's not what that word means. Unless you think that it's impossible to actually like a big truck and that personal likes are some sort of legal structure that hurts women specifically.


Of course some women buy trucks but they are obviously dick magnifiers for incels. Walk around the parking lot this holiday season. How many of those truck beds are pristine? Or should I say virginal?


Patriarchy is not just a synonym for men.


Some men wear hidden insoles. Women too wear high heels. Those serve the same purpose with less ecological impact of course.
