@LightningShade0 @IonaItalia It's really very well rephrased, thank you. Just 2-3 clarifications:
1. On the subject of patriarchy, I agree with Simone de Beauvoir when she says "Thus the triumph of patriarchy was neither a coincidence nor the result of a violent revolution. (...)

@LightningShade0 @IonaItalia (...) From the beginning of humanity, their biological privilege allowed only males to assert themselves as sovereign subjects". Patriarchy is neither "good" nor "bad"; it is just, the "natural" system for a given era. But as de Beauvoir, saying so does NOT mean defending him.

@LightningShade0 @IonaItalia 2. What is the goal of the "natural" system optimization?
The natural balance between intra and inter-sexual competitive pressures:

@LightningShade0 @IonaItalia 3.Why does it no longer work?
In fact... it still works very well. Don't forget, it was feminists who called patriarchy, the natural system for a given era. The context has changed, the patriarchy is disappearing but the natural system remains in place and optimizes the balance.

@LightningShade0 @IonaItalia 4.This "optimization" thing, is that your idea?
No, it's evolutionary psychology. I am only passing on information between pro-feminism and con-feminism that do not discuss together. Not to discuss and fight is to play the game of natural selection.
