I am pretty sure at this point that if we are serious about what we mean we are trying to break down and recreate, in terms of fighting patriarchy we should do so together. 

This is not to say that "seperatism" as a method of unlearning patriarchy can’t be useful for both men and women. I am a staunch believer in "men against sexism" type groups, and "women's safe spaces". I like the idea of women's' solidarity and "sisterhood" (although there is some power tripping there), and although the notion of "brotherhood" gives me pause , I am not closed to the potential for liberation there. 

Also, I am not talking here about confronting sexist violence, misogyny, or homophobia ~ as these were never issues of contention in terms of having tolerance for such behaviors. I'm virtually zero-compromise when it comes to that. 

As a negative pillar of civilization, the effects of patriarchy likely/probably won’t be dismantled or eradicated from our societies anytime soon. 

As with the lingering effects of domestication, some aspects of religion  agriculture, linear time, and symbolic thought, we are facing a big challenge in identifying, let alone unlearning the ways that patriarchy has alienated women from nature, each other, and their own internal wildness. 

Much has been written and said about the effects of patriarchal rule on women today, and I hope to see that discourse continue. Maybe we are ready to hear about that from men and talk about it with them. It's one thing for men to mention patriarchy in the list of institutions that comprise civilization. 

It's a whole other thing to define what effects that the patriarchy has had on the autonomy and social evolution of men in civilized societies, and to debate how we (men and women) can overcome it together, through our daily interactions, in addition to the ways that we fight the against the state, support one another when the state fights back, and develop collective projects that subvert the institutions that control women

Anti-patriarchy is not an "issue"to take up but instead is a consciousness that should really underline lives in the struggle against the forces of civilization to revive ancient ways, while realizing an entirely new way of being in a post-domesticated world.

(from  Wikipedia ): "Despite their differences, Bizarro and Superman have teamed up on occasion. One notable example happened in Superman #379, when a strange creature appeared to be devouring Bizarros. Fearing he would end up alone Bizarro tried to steal Superman's duplicator ray. Superman convinced Bizarro he would be better off trying to stop the monster before making any more Bizarros.  The creature eventually devoured Bizarro, but Superman soon figured out that the creature was not trying to kill the Bizarros, but using their combined strength to defeat another creature which was trying to destroy htraE. The first creature was created as part of a plan developed by none other than the Bizarro Lex Luthor, who Bizarro referred to as a "punk hero." "In the imaginary story, Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?, which served as an ending to Silver Age Superman continuity, Bizarro #1 (the original Bizarro and the world's leader/greatest hero),

Saying that Joe Biden is better choice for the left wing than DJT instead of saying they are equally bad choices for the left wing, is excessive centrism and condemnable  Republicans take 10 steps backwards, Democrats take 1 step forward. Liberal 2.0ers call that progress. Leftists like me call it a f*cking disgrace. A lot of things that the Democrats campaign on and take credit for, were by and large grassroots campaigns by progressive groups. For example, the DNC really fought a lot of state-wide decriminalization attempts, that's why the first legalized states had to use voter referendums. Then you got issues like abortion and gay marriage, which were undone by the courts and NEVER codified into law by the Democrats, despite having many opportunities to do so. The DNC are NOT allies to us leftists, they are dangerous. Perhaps the Democrats are more dangerous than the GOP, since the Democrats take up the space of a left party, while they ignore grassroots leftist organizing and g

from here There is a practical component to all of this. The question of humanism vs antihumanism is the question upon which the debate between liberal feminism and nihilist gender abolitionism will be based. The liberal feminist says “I am a woman” and by that means that they are spiritually, ontologically, metaphysically, genetically, or any other modes of “essentially” a woman. The gender nihilist says “I am a woman” and means that they are located within a certain position in a matrix of power which constitutes them as such. The liberal feminist is not aware of the ways power creates gender, and thus clings to gender as a means of legitimizing themselves in the eyes of power. They rely on trying to use various systems of knowledge (genetic sciences, metaphysical claims about the soul, kantian ontology) in order to prove to power they can operate within it. The gender nihilist, the gender abolitionist, looks at the system of gender itself and see’s the violence at its core. We say n
