    Women: get to retire five years earlier than men

    Lemmy: Sounds like patriarchal oppression to me!

      it is though. same with women getting more lenient sentences for the same crimes, custody inequality, etc.

        I think a better word might be needed, to be honest.

          Kyriarchical oppression.

          Kyriarchy refers to the overlap of various inequalities caused by gender, race, sexuallity and disability describing overlaps of cross sectionality. It also refers to the practice of problems created by assumed superiority.

          It already exists and is called misandry.

          why? this is all the results of men being in power, including the odd thing that favors women sometimes, like custody battles being usually easier for women. it comes from the patriarchal view that looking after children is the mother’s job and the father barely needs to have anything to do with it.

          same here: men are stronger and women are weaker, not to mention women shouldn’t be working to begin with but since they do they might as well retire early.

            To me as a layman it immediately brings up a connection to feminism. I don’t think that anybody who will want to get men to think different will get very far using the word “patriarchy”, given men being more right leaning.

            There isn’t much substance to my argument than “nuh uh I don’t like that word” but it is what it is. There must be some better approach “marketing wise”, despite patriarchy being technically correct.
