Barbie's logic: Real world is patriarchy because top positions are occupied by men.


What? Why that make our world patriarchy?

Yes, top are (mostly) men, but bottom are mostly men too. Look at jails, streets. Men's suicide rate are FOUR times more compare to women. Most dirty and danger jobs are done by men.

Why just look at top and said "Patriarchy," why not look at bottom?

You have failed at being logical.

"[W]hy not look at bottom?"

Why do oncoming objects appear to be moving faster than they are? Why are people more sensitive to bad news than good news? Why are so many men at the bottom of the social hierarchy invisible to women? Because of natural selection.

Having a distorted view of the world can help promote survival and replication. For men, irrational self-confidence can be invaluable when it comes to securing one's genetic legacy.

If that is true, why are poor people more likely to procreate than rich people? It seems that good job does not increase chances of replicating your genetics, but actually decreases it.

reply

I don't see why it should be surprising if poor people are more likely to procreate than rich people. We're in an evolutionarily novel environment that has been shaped by culture, which moves far more rapidly than natural selection. Men with more sexual partners are less likely to have children than men with the fewest partners (above zero). People who are highly religious and poorly educated tend to have a lot of kids. Education should have a skull and crossbones when it comes to passing along one's genes.

Without Education, how would we learn?? 🤔

That's not why. That's simplistic. Naturally, in a satire, nuanced theory won't be expressed. Look into the history of feminism. Do some reading. Who took away Roe v Wade? Mostly men, because they aren't personally affected the way we are. Men rule the world, still, and women are second class citizens. Women don't get some of those low jobs because they are home raising kids for no pay. Etc, etc. Please use your brain more.

5 times now actually. In line with the homelessness rates.
