This is how propaganda for the patriarchy works: it paints women who have been sexually assaulted as the criminals and men who have assaulted as the victims as a strategy to divert sympathy from the former to the latter. For example:
Popaganda for the patriarchy insists that we look at the men who sexually assault as “our brothers, sons, husbands,” rather than seeing the women they assault as “their sisters, daughters, wives” so as to divert sympathy from the latter to the former
Propaganda for the patriarchy succeeds in making people identify with and rally around the patriarchy
Propaganda for the patriarchy succeeds in diverting sympathy away from its victims and replacing it with threats of more violence
Some of the most vociferous propagandists for the patriarchy are women who serve as its footsoldiers who ensure sympathy is reserved for the patriarchy while gaslighting victims
We - those of us who want to destroy the patriarchy- must work on our own propaganda.
- Defy, disobey, disrupt patriarchy
- Make feminism a threat
- Make patriarchy fear you

And we must say “propaganda for the patriarchy” so that this social construct, this system of oppression, is seen for what it is. This isn’t “how it,” “the way things are,” etc etc. This patriarchy and we must destroy it.
