For those of us who have spent our lives trying to dismantle this endlessly destructive paradigm of patriarchy, it has become increasingly clear in recent months that something more terrifying is afoot.
The wheels are off the cart. We are in the midst of a chaotic, demented acceleration of the most violent and cruel aspects of this system which has evolved into what I am calling Psychopatriarchy.
Psychopatriarchy is a reaction, a backlash against the progress we have made on all fronts: women’s rights, civil rights, immigrant rights, workers rights, trans rights etc.
It has birthed an authoritarian fascist reality, poisoning our social and psychological environment with terrorizing violence, cruelty and precarity. It has consolidated the billionaire class who are driven by the mindset summed up in the slogan “move fast and break things.” Or, one might say, grab things, rape things.

The right to be left alone is the most important human right. Other people forcing me to think a certain way or believe a particular creed is the worst archy out there.
When one wonders what are the lowest limits of pretend-intellect, just go the nearest trash bin and extract a copy of the latest Guardian. Not to worry, you’ll throw it back to the bin and a very short time.
WOW. Look at that face. Read her words. I wonder what she will say when she gets to experience “toxic masculinity” of MoFos. Go back and hide under your blanket 5.
“destructive paradigm of patriarchy”
Who talks like that?
So Eve Ensler is now styling herself “V”? As in “Vagina Monologues”?
Eve Ensler is the person who wrote The Vagina Monologues. She’s now changed her name to V. She thinks she’s so great.
BS.
Yes, where do these idiots come from? People give them a platform to spew such nonsense. Sad.
Dylan McDermott’s stepmom at one time.
Another vaginalogue.
Not being able to control (certain) people’s thoughts and behavior is somehow authoritarian and fascist.
These people have absolutely zero sense of irony or hypocrisy.
The end is he best part.
Psychopatriarchy is jet fuel to all the other -isms: racism, colonialism, imperialism, capitalism.
It is propelled by its own mad trajectory. We can try to block it (courts); we can starve it (strikes); we can remove it (vote and get them out office). We can name and shame it (speaking out, marches and rallies), refuse to normalize it (write about it, make art about it); we can prosecute it.
We can create a parallel world that is so inviting, generous and caring that even those who are still struggling to break out of the cult will eventually be emboldened.
But what we cannot do is go to sleep, become small and still, with the childlike fantasy that they will not find us. What we cannot do is succumb to it or become them – numb, selfish, hollow and cruel.
Our feelings, our pain, our empathy, our rage, our love, our refusal to turn away will be our salvation. Psychosis is the inability to tell what is real from unreal. Our work is to say what we see and trust what we know, to keep speaking truth to power and go to any lengths to stay connected to reality and each other.
Andrew Sullivan once called articles like this a reporter using their column as a therapist’s couch.
The game is afoot!
Professor Moriarty’s handiwork, no doubt.
I have told several Karens that spout this crap “ok, then stop using your cell phone, computer, car, dishwasher, refrigerator, X-Ray and MRI machines, Facebook (X and Instagram), tv, airplanes and botox et. al. since men created all of those things. So, if you hate us quit using our stuff.”
There answer is always “because women were oppressed and didn’t have the opportunity”. To which I list women like Madame Curie, Hedy Lamarr, Ada Lovelace and others and say they didn’t seem to have any problems. Of course, the morons don’t know any of the names I list.
Wow. Anyone else need some Visine after reading that?
“Or, one might say, grab things, rape things.”

“Psychosis is the inability to tell what is real from unreal”
That pretty much sums up the Left in a nutshell based on the ones I’ve met.
The Gods of the Copybook Headings are hard taskmasters and the lessons about to be learned by these lunatics will hopefully echo for a few generations before it inevitably starts again.
