I get what you’re saying about patriarchy as a ‘gender only’ system, and in theory that makes sense men benefit over women, full stop. But in practice, patriarchy in the West was never race neutral. It was built alongside white supremacy with the specific aim of keeping white men at the top. That means even inside patriarchal structures, white women often had more institutional power and protection than Black men.

idk how people can’t grasp this. a woman of any race has never been president. that is how simple the system of patriarchy is. patriarchy follows a dichotomous line of thought, but saying that is not equivalent to saying the truth is black and white. intersectionality is essential to understand too.

But you CAN’T strip it down to just a male-female dichotomy. Thats not how the patriarchy works, and especially not Western patriarchy (which is the main topic of conversation). To understand this you have to know what the racialization of gender is and how it has historically, under the Western patriarchy, placed POC men in sex/gender-based castes where they are not recognized as actual men. Based on the concept and studies of the racialization of gender alone, white women under the patriarchy had more privilege than POC men. Please look into the concept.

I agree with all your comments and videos I have seen on this issue! ☺️I’d like to add an example (that you could use or others can look at if they came here with the initial perspective that you are wrong and the quoted commenter is right) and really unpack and prove what you are saying. During 2020, a Mexican man murdered his girlfriend, Ingrid Escamilla (a Mexican woman), and in Mexico and globally this was considered to be femicide. If we look at the images of Ingrid and her murderer, she is more pale than her then boyfriend/murderer. In Mexico, there is a huge issue with racism and colorism, so in Mexico she would probably be racially above him (I can’t definitively say that she is white because I don’t know). However, despite her being paler than him (because in Mexico these discussions operate on who is more white looking), the legal system, activists, and journalists all agree that her murder was femicide. So, to those coming to further engage with this debate that agree with the quoted comment really see that despite Mexico also having issues with white supremacy and colorism, a man of color was still able to carry out an act of violence on a woman who is paler than him and even probably be considered white there (again, cannot actually comment on what her race truly was because I don’t know but race in of its self in Mexico is extremely complex)
