I can understand it. I do note that you’re not denying either misandry or bigotry though. If it’s not okay to single out one particular demographic (and it isn’t) why is it okay to single out another?
I'm married to a man and mother to four boys. If you can't see the parts of this that are tongue in cheek and the parts of it that are serious (where I clarify that what I'm really complaining about is patriarchy), I'm not sure there's any point confirming or denying anything tbqh
Ah. The ‘just having a laugh love, you need to lighten up’ trope. I’m sure you’ve come across it before.
If you’re going to complain about the patriarchy as a power structure, don’t add an asterisk making clear that all cishet men, and only cishet men, are fair game. Gay, non white men are also part of the patriarchy too, by your argument.
Very insightful piece. As an American in Ireland I can relate to the opening bit about weather and AC.
Unsubbing from this misandrist bigotry.
if you can't see how exhausting it is to exist as a woman under patriarchy then this was definitely not going to be the Substack for you

did you not see the satirical video put after the footnote?! I'm truly not using the "just having a laugh" defense but come on…
No, I read it as an email, not in the app and I didn’t see any video.
If it was ‘tongue in cheek’, that really wasn’t clear from the words.
We don't need an announcement, mate!
