Sorry, too late. This should have been made 10 years ago.
Patriarchy was gynocentric. Women live longer than males in a Patriarchy.
Matriarchy is a total failure. To both women and men.
Not only society has lost its ability to reproduce itself (on normal circumstances, It would have already dissapear at the hand of another male groups), but It has harmed men.
Where Patriarchy/asculinity was blut protection, Matriarchy is about deleting men.
With raising problems for women too: women are less Happy now that they were 60 years ago (even the Pew Centre confirm this).
Are you concerned about your boys? You should be. But, as a start, you should not labell yourself as feminist.
Sorry, we need to recognise all the good that men have made and continue making.
Fortunatelly, Gen Z boys have proven not to be as stupid as previous males (me included) and have avandoned the left. We are so glas Trump is back.
Even with all the hell of the past 40 years, woemen has 10 percent gender gap.. even after the Girl Power. And this will continue.
We have tried to "free" women and society has gotten much worst, even for women.
We need to start recognising that the experiment of feminism has fallen. Recognise that men and women are different and need each other.
Until you dont value the difference of your boys from girls (and this will lead to some better and worst outcomes), and value mens ubique contribution to society (still, 95% of firefigthers, the lrge majority of partners in Big Law, 85% of cops, 85% of soldiers and so on. The majority in sports watchers), until we dont recognise that NOT all will or has to be equal, the US society will be doomed.
Because the society Will only help women to reach where they cannot reach, and It Will forget about males.
Matriarchies have always been worst than Patriarchies: that the real reason they never survived.
Btw, the US may not survived China neither. And interesting Patriarchy, where females work as males, but have little to none authority.
It starts so young. Recently, my son has complained of tummy aches and headaches every single morning before school. I thought it was food related and kept a food diary. I also took him to the doctor and he had a full blood panel. Nothing too alarming other than possible dehydration (he hates drinking water). However, he then told me that he was being punched by one kid and roughed up by another. But the kid who was roughing him up was just playing. Punching kid, however, meant it. And said punching kid is (okay, was) one of his best friends. They played nicely up until recently. The boys are all six.
It has been a long day and I am just now reading this post. Figured I’d be too late to comment. I’m surprised but also not surprised that no one else has commented yet. Clearly, some are not commenting because they voted for the man. Others, I’m guessing, are not commenting because they don’t know what to say. What is there to say when over half of our country agrees with him? I don’t know either. I feel like this is a confusing time for a lot of folks.
Not everyone lives in the US and/or is a US citizen. However, we're all impacted. Mean Boys and Mean Girls are pretty similar. One could easily have a Mean Girl leader of a country. But then again, females tend to emotionally ostracize people they don't like, so it's nasty in a different way.

Oh, Cynthia! This is heartbreaking. No wonder your son hasn't wanted to go to school.

Cynthia it’s ironic you mention female leaders. If you need a good laugh I literally wrote about that in my newsletter last week:
