Nobody cares, TERF.
Fantastic video, as always. If you get the chance, please read David Graeber's Debt The First 5000 Years. It is an extraordinary book about property ownership (historically speaking, women, slaves and such), state, war and economics by a brilliant anthropologist. You would very much enjoy it
@@kavjay His other book The Dawn of Everything is also really good.
Thanks for posting the reminder. I had work last night.
@@zerologic7912 , thanks for the recommendation. I'm just going through the first chapter now
@@kavjay And Debt is basically a History of Patriarchy and Capitalism as well. Its chilling going through that book, example by example.
"If one social hierarchy is threatened, all social hierarchies are threatened."
Yes indeed.
Yeah, that line is gonna stick iwht me.
Sounds like a good start to me.
"Stop threatening me with a good time !"
When I was just 9 years old, I understood there was something wrong with the way I was being treated because of my gender. I had no knowledge of the term "feminism" or "women's rights", I only knew women's rights from the context if Islam. When I asked my family that why are girls treated like they're inferior, she told me women have high status in Islam, that mothers are highly respected and it is sin to disrespect her. But I never found this answer satisfactory. From the way boys didn't want to mingle with girls because they thought we would hold then back, to my mother seeing little value in her inputs and my father explicitly banning me from going outside and telling me that if he passes away I'm supposed to be obedient to my brothers. They didn't care how much it hurt me. I'm 22 now and I never forgot any of this shit.
They act as if not letting women work or participate in public life is a privilege. No, the fact that women are mostly only allowed to be pampered housewife’s in Islam is NOT a privilege, it is called resigning women to private life and is not empowering, it follows the logic that women are inferior in regards to their ability to be independent actors within the world
Raised in fundamentalist Christianity, i was always told that God loves everyone equally and everyone is equally important to him, but also women are naturally subservient to men, the Man of the House gets the final say and that’s God’s Plan™️.
I hope you are alright now and know your full value. There are ways to diminish women while pretending it is because they are worth so much (often only aiming at their reproductive side) and that 'men and women are equal only different' (still forbidding women, and also men, to do what they want because of that supposed difference) It is really annoying, I call that the soft contempt... Because it is still contempt, often disguised under caring reasons but it hurts and restraint women.
I was not raised in a religious context and nonetheless I have always been told that I should behave differently. Ppl told me how to sit, what not to eat, not eat too much in public, what to wear, what color of nail polish was ok, how short my skirts and shorts could be.
My father always said he wished he had boys to do boy stuff.
Who ever says that hasn't heard any of this crap when growing up or as an adult woman is blind, deaf and uncritical!
Chiming in with everyone else to say I also recognized the double-standard early on. I was raised in a hyper-conservative circle of Catholicism, where it was a pretty strong message, but even after leaving the church and entering the "secular" world of science/engineering in my studies and career, it's absolutely still present in those circles too.
Not even two minutes in and I love this already, I keep hearing people talking about the rise of fascism in America like it started in 2016 and I'm like erm no I've literally been watching it happen since 2001 ffs. Thank you.
I agree, but 2001? How about Ronald's McDonald's Reagan? And the people who "founded" this country owning slaves? And a lot I skipped in between, plus the groundwork continued upon since W & co left, but you get me.
P.S. UK & Europe, don't act like y'all didn't also use and benefit from slave labour _A LOT._ Not to act like my native country is any better, mind; my ancestors aren't exempt from terrible, unspeakable atrocities against other peoples. Reparations couldn't be paid even if our govt wanted to [but they would never, cos they never had a speck of shame] cos most of the peoples they encountered, they completely annihilated.
If you’re non Euro American it started in 1776
1492?
12k-10k BC. When we adopted agriculture, and land ownership and slavery was born
Been going on since the 1930s
I would actually take slight issue with the term "Progressive Athens". As far as my research has indicted, Athens was actually quite regressive in terms of women's rights in comparison to other Greek city states like Sparta and Thebes. Women held a responsibly high status in many ancient civilizations like Egypt and were basically on par with men while Athens was definitely very intensely patriarchal and pretty actively misogynistic, Athens could even be said to be something of an outlier.
It makes also no sense to use the term progressive for ancient societies, that had no concept of something like this. If anything, most ancient Greek terms indicating novelty had a negative connotation.
I have to agree, especially in a video discussing patriarchy. That said the video is otherwise excellent
@@nyktophylax8855 while you are correct, I think it was deemed as progressive by Leon for the purpose of moving the point forward.
Egypt had a woman pharaoh who wore a beard as a Trans man.
It is an absolute fantasy to say women were “basically on par with men” in Egypt. Out of 170 known Egyptian pharaohs across 3,000 years, only 7 were women.
Every agriculturally-based civilization was a patriarchy, they were just different shades of male domination.
Great video. I just want to add that colonization also had a major influence in spreading patriarchy to societies that were more egalitarian or matriarchal
women have always been oppressed pretty much all around the world. the patriarchy is not an invention of western society, otherwise you could not explain how women were and are oppressed in places that haven't been colonized. pretending that white people introduced sexism in other places actually misrepresents the sexism women face around the world and its history.
Which ones?
@@Sandrodziej in North America, the indigenous peoples of the Iroquois and Hopi are an example
@@Sandrodziej Basically all of Africa.
When Christians came to Africa, they found many civilizations practicing polygamy and tolerant of same-sex relationships. Within the context of a patriarchal society, polygamy is obviously a tool of male control, but without that context it's just another way to organize families. If men don't have disproportionate power in society, that's just a polycule, with everyone sharing equally in both work and relationship burdens.
Obviously, Christians didn't like this. In the process of destroying all the indigenous cultures, they converted them to Christianity. This destroyed their family units as well, ripping apart communities in the process, as polygamous relationships were forced to dissolve and more households were created where before there had been only one. Christians also imported their homophobia, transphobia, and all the other bigotries which come with patriarchy.
Ironically, this has started to become a problem for the formerly colonial churches. Because of the devastation of families all over Africa caused by Christian doctrine, many African churches are now entirely dedicated to maintaining those doctrines, out of a sort of sunk cost fallacy. If all those loving families were sacrificed for false teachings, after all, then what was the point of it all? Due to the fact that some of those churches are international and give local congregations a say in how things are run, this has led to some pretty terrible things happening to churches in the imperial core. the United Methodist Church, which has congregations in nearly every country on Earth, is currently in the process of disintegrating because a coalition of bigoted American, African, and Eastern European churches all voted to reconfirm that gay people can't exist in their church. As a result, most of the rest of the American and European congregations are leaving, and the remaining American congregations won't be able to pay for the upkeep of the international church. All because Methodist missionaries a century ago told African people that their families were wrong.
@@Sandrodziej two figures I can point to off the top of my head are Nefertiti and Amanirenas who both wielded great power.
In the context of India's (and other nations with historically shared boundaries/landmasses within the Indian subcontinent like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka etc.) history of patriarchy, a really important factor is the role of caste. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar illustrates this relationship between the enforcement of patriarchy and enforcement of caste in his work, "Castes in India," and is quite important to understand the ways we see patriarchy in Indian society today.
Interesting. Will add it to my reading list.
Edit: Is Annihilation of Caste of similar quality? It is significantly easier to find.
@@Syurtpiutha yep
That would be really nice to have a part talking about ableism as a hierarchy.
Why ?
@@marshall_zhukov Because it also causes social hierarchies and intersects with the other aspects of hierarchy discussed here? And ableism isn't just the most obvious stuff (making fun of cerebral palsy, mocking autism) but also it causes financial exploitation (people on the autism spectrum with other learning disabilities getting paid under minimum wage for doing labor because of "accomodations" and "diversity", tiktok influencers exploiting tourette and a bunch of other neurological disorders and mental illnesses, fake "charities" like Autism Speaks fearmongering to parents about how autism is a fatal disease that constantly makes their lives hell and something to bee cured).
There's plenty to talk about and that's just SCRATCHING the surface of ableism and what I'm familiar with, I'm not very well-versed in how it manifests for physical handicaps.
@@neoqwerty How about the more pervasive view that sees people with disabilities as less intelligent than the able-bodied? Speaking to a person with a disability as if they have the intelligence of a toddler is demeaning and disgusting, but it happens all the time. Or that the disabled person should be somehow invisible? I'm speaking from personal experience here, observing how my mum,, as a wheelchair user, was spoken to, or not; more often, questions or remarks were pointed to me or to my dad. And my own experiences, since I use a cane because of chronic pain, and I'm also hard of hearing. People talk loudly and slowly, distorting the shape of their mouths, making lip reading more difficult, or attempt to walk right through me in public areas, something that I also observed while caring for my mum.
@@marshall_zhukov Well, because ableism is also a systemic oppression, that's why.
I don't know how it is in the US, but here, in france, we, people with disabilities/who suffer from mental illnesses, are really ostracized from the rest of society.
We can't access housing, work or college as easily as other people. Some of us are being retained in institutions all of their life.
We suffer from medical and psychiatric violences. Women with disabilities are more frenquetly than other women victims of domestic abuse... For short.
the people who need to watch this in my life would never do it, so I'll just have to steal some of your brilliantly worded explanations and pass it on by word of mouth :-)
Speaking of discouraging voting, the first time my older sister could vote, she and my dad got in an argument. He said, "Why bother going, you're just going to cancel my vote!"
Funny, my stepdad uses this exact same argument against me. He voted Republican, I vote Democrat.
he gave her a very good reason to go to vote!
The best content on TH-cam and there is always a risk it will be denomonetised. Absolutely criminal.
Renegade cut is probably my favorite video essayist and they definitely deserve more acknowledgement/support from TH-cam
The subject in the second section of the video would make it impossible to have it on TH-cam with ads. I didn't even fight it.
I agree... great content. I would also recommend, "Second Thought".
@@Radzoso Hes also good
All the more reason to join his Patreon if you can [not just the OP, but anyone reading]. :)
As a fairly attractive 29 year old woman I get asked all the time "did you draw AND write your comic.!?!?" Also, at my day job I've been working at for 6 years, men are constantly impressed that I can weigh things on a scale?? Every day. I can't just be a person. I HAVE to be reminded that I'm a woman and I constantly have to prove myself. It's exhausting and there is no reward. And yea I called myself attractive at the beginning of this comment so I know that opens the door to people calling me an untalented ugly slut. No win.
@@ooooo524 You good?
If you know how you look, you know. By your description you're neither untalented or ugly, I can't say that last word about anyone else cause it's gross, but some actively identify with it about themselves, takes the word back as empowering cause they're sex positive.
That sounds exhausting though. I'm trans-femme but before I even came out really, hyper masculin men would always treat me less than because I was naturally effeminate. Now that I'm transitioning for a year, I'm noticing more women refer to my correct gender without prompting. That's been a win. I still don't get taken seriously by the masculine men, some seem to refuse to look at me, when I'm fairly sure they would look me straight in the face and shake my hand if I was still in the closet. I tend to like working with women and hanging out with women and trans people. Cis-men often make me uncomfortable, and they generally don't make me feel welcome even when I did present masculine. Except around like minded folks, which can still be hit or miss.
Thank you so much for this. The amount of content from men discussing patriarchy and its harmful effects recently is amazing, and so needed.
thank you for mentioning trans men in the roe v Wade section. even on the left, we get left out of the conversation a lot.
Me sad. Me still watched. Me still sad.
Seven and a half minutes in and I need to take a break for my mental health. Great work as always, but this will have to be a multiple session viewing.
Thank you for doing this series. It really means a lot to have someone care, especially someone who gains from this system as a male. I wish things would change, but I don't have any hope left. Thank you for all that you do. It's truly wonderful. 🙏
Also, I'm loving your content, as ever, even better than ever. You have such an amazing skill set for this stuff: great editing, pacing, tone, aesthetics, but also so expertly able to take complex, thorny issues and make them more... streamlined. I save a lot of them to a list of videos that explain various topics. ...I'm still trying to learn how to be concise. I'm a windbag, I know it. I'm trying my best! Heh.
Cheers
@@mookinbabysealfurmittens Nothing wrong with being a windbag, I've been accused of using 10 words when 5 will do in the past :).
Please don't give up hope, there are still groups of us who think that things can change, we may feel like embers in the dark but believe me we can still start fires.
@@Para2normal Thank you.
̑̈
Always appreciate people who acknowledge that abortion laws don't only affect cis women. Great video!
This video is incredibly well done as always. And I wanted to say thank you for acknowledging that there are people who need access to abortions/related healthcare who aren't women. People often accuse us (trans men, nonbinary folk, intersex folk) of "speaking over" cis women but we're just as vulnerable to unexpected, unwanted, or unviable pregnancy as anyone else with a uterus is.
This is a heavy video. I appreciate all the work you put into this.
So pumped for the rest of this series!! Of all the video essayists your videos are some of the ones I look forward to the most. : )
If you are fired up, listen to Bell Hooks next. She's brilliant. You won't get less fired up
100% agreed. If one can get their hands on "Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center" - it is awesome!
@@pranavgoel9978 I bet you give the best hugs
A great study debunking much of the myths of males being better at stuff or do things in a particularly different way to women on many fronts: Hyde, Janet Shibley. "The gender similarities hypothesis." American psychologist 60, no. 6 (2005): 581.
I really like the stock footage Renegade Cut uses in his videos. Great editing as well.
This is so clear and well done! Thank you!!
You are welcome.
I just wanted to say thank you for putting forth all the time and research for these videos. There's so much fear and confusion floating around right now, but your content offers an array of much needed clarity. It really has helped me feel less cynical and alone. I can't wait to see the rest of this series! Keep it up!
I totally understand your anger in the US. But what makes me even more sad, is that Abortion was never legal here and considering who we have in power rn, it doesn’t seem like it will be any time soon. Hell we had a leftist government before and leftist majority in congress but they still did nothing for decriminalisation. Yes you can technically get one if you have a judicial permit proving it was rape but most people can’t even afford a lawyer, and lots of judges deny this. Most people don’t even discuss it here it’s just a crime and that’s it.
I agree with your overall point but I think it's important to point out that the current US federal government majorities and presidency are not "leftist".
Biden, most of the House, and most of the Senate are liberals or neo-liberals. Liberals, although often socially liberal in their rhetoric, otherwise forward policies that maintain the status quo and explicitly serve capitalism. Leftists or progressives, also socially liberal (but more so), generally forward policies that reduce wealth inequality and often explicitly socialist platforms.
That Biden and federal Democratic leaders are liberals rather than leftists is a lot of why the US is in such a bad place right now. Liberals by their nature are badly positioned to combat reactionary and fascist policies such as the fall of Roe v Wade. When your goal is to work towards the middle, a massive push from the right will throw everything off balance.
@@CorwinFound I don't think Mariana is referring to the United States, Corwin.
I mean im a us born white male which mean i have the most rights in the united states. Yet i still get scared when i see womens rights slowly taken away by bible thumpers. Honestly to the men who make these laws i say they should carry a weighted sack around them for 9 months and get judged whenever they complain. But the joke is the people who claim to be pro life race to cut as much support for the newborn once it comes out of the mom.
@@renegadecut9875 You are correct, I missed that unfortunately. Although I'd be interested in knowing what country has had a supposedly leftist majority that wasn't able and/or willing to codify abortion access. Maybe "leftist" could mean different things in different political environments? I tend to imagine leftist as having fairly universal ideas regardless of country, but I'm no expert at all on global politics.
@@CorwinFound or it's a weird right wing talking point implying we don't "know how good we have it here"
My grandparents were Nazis, my whole upbringing we learned about the rise of the Nazi party and we were sure:"never again!". How could our relatives let this happen?
Now I'm like a frog in water that is heating up till it cooks. But unlike the frog I know it.But what can I do? Now I know how this could happen to my grandparents and why germans participated to 99%.
And all I can do are small things that change nothing and watch in horror
Those small things do change things!
@@jordanetherington1922 yep. Solidarity can often be invisible from our own tiny perspectives. When everyone does something to help others of need, that spreads further than people could ever imagine.
Great series, and forgive me if you mentioned this, but I was thinking about children of both genders being more likely to resent their mothers than fathers as they're much more likely to be present in the raising of a child and likewise, the male child may pick up on subtle resentments of males generally by the mother for similar reasons. It's haunting that attitudes have barely changed over thousands of years. Anyway, great work and I look forward to more form you and this series.
Fantastic work as always. Looking forward to more from this series.
Thanks very much.
I'm really enjoying this series on hierarchies. It's really fascinating how once you can perceive the injustices that hierarchies incur, it's impossible to not see it's effects everywhere. I'm grateful that there seems to be a groundswelling of anti-authoritatians educating each other and hopefully building up a movement that can dismantle some if not all the unjust systems of the world.
Your videos are accessible yet information dense, and I think a real contribution to society. Thank you! I have 4 kids and I struggle to raise them against the inherent patriarchical bias you describe. Its so easy to overlook things you do and say, or how things are portrayed in books, yet when you start looking into any piece of media I share with them, or anything that happens etc. its almost overwhelming.
If I could wish for anything, I would like you to describe efforts to combat patriarchy, as in what do the scientists and others you've quoted say we should to to combat it, if anything? And what is being done, how does it work?
This is such a well done, well researched, and well put video 👏🏿(I’m looking forward this mini-series)
Thank you for another insightful, yet easy to digest video.
You're welcome.
It's 5:48am, I'm here & I'm ready ❤️
We have this new supream court for 20+ years likley... the USA and world with insaine environmental rulings is fucked.
We must control the presidency, senate, and house or we are in big trouble, even then the SC can do damage but if republicans get a way to pass bills up to the SC it’s gonna be a million times worse
We're gonna pack it. Maybe abolish it.
By far my fav channel
Thanks!
Great stuff as always!
Loving the series so far
Glad to hear it.
When I hear the name" Proud Boys" it for some reason reminds me of The Village People and their song, "In The Navy."
not all ancient societies were patriarchal, many cultures had women as leaders. We just tend to ignore those.
I'm aware of this, but that does not contradict anything in the video. The section about the origins of patriarchy is just about that. The origins of patriarchy. The fewer, comparatively egalitarian societies were largely wiped out or marginalized by colonization centuries ago. There is a thread about this deeper in the comments, David.
@@renegadecut9875 Thanks, i am just worried the way its presented might be ammo for the "return to natural state" crowd.
This series has been excellent so far, cannot wait to see the rest!
Seeing this video made my day. I am so glad you're making this series.
Thanks, Leon! Appreciate your efforts as always!
As always, great video! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest!
Amazing video! Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Excellent video. This hits harder since the reversal of Roe v Wade; it can be overwhelmingly emotional to talk & think about, so it always helps to have some grounded clarity to know I'm not crazy. (Bc yeah part of patriarchy is that being a woman with an emotional stance on a topic like abortion discredits you.)
Your work is medicine. Thanks!
I haven't commented on any RC videos yet, but I just wanted to let you know that your commitment to facts and carefulness with words is deeply deeply affecting. The fact that a "youtuber" whose videos typically hover around 6 orders of magnitude continues to produce such painstakingly well-researched content is a real testament to the commitment. I also watch tons and tons of science and math content, and I'm trying to keep bouncing back and forth to convince the YT algorithm that *ALL* of these things are for the factual-minded viewer.
As always, your work is top tier informative and thought provoking content. Keep up the amazing work, thank you!
Absolutely loving this new series, your videos are so well articulated and impactful but disgustable as well. Truly a dimond in the rough.
It'd be nice if you could include a video on the neuro-normativity vs neuro-diversity heriarchy in this series if you're familiar at all with the subject matter. But I understand what you've got planned here is already pretty ambitious
just as i was rewatching some of your content you upload this! thank you leon, you legend!
I appreciate your explicit point that even if women did score lower on intelligence, it wouldn’t justify enslavement and oppression. I’m hoping you bring a video on ableism into this series too to expand on that point. Also with regards to marriage equality, as many disabled people are either not allowed to get married, or incentivized not to because they will lose what little socialized supports they are allowed.
BIG BUMP! keep it up man, you're putting out some of the truest content on TH-cam. You are an inspiration!
The topic of why patriarchy has persisted for so long is fascinating (and depressing). Men have pushed women down when threatened, but there is also the carrot to go with the stick. Women who conform have always been given privileges within their station, with wealthy and white women having additional status. I also think there's some element of coercion where young and pretty women are treated so highly, but that fades away once they're married with children, while women focus on advancement by finding a good match. It's kind of crazy that these dynamics have lasted through centuries and across cultures, it's only through birth control and access to abortion that this system has meaningfully been challenged.
White woman , I don't think they had privilege, many were married off before they left their fathers home and rape in marriages was so bad that I made it into law in all states in 1993 , medical care even with roe was still not granted to woman alone request.. their privilege was to get married out of the lack of choice and gain their husbands privilege through their money. To be honest it does back fire if men are disabled they are let go who is left to care for them , their wife and if their wife was denied the same privilege well it mean their on lesser means
Thanks for the content warning. You do fabulous work and I learn a lot from your videos.
another amazing video, as usual. your stuff is some of the best on youtube.
This is interesting as usual. ☺
Nice work you take your time and craft arguements well.
Thank you.
I just found your channel the other day, I've been eating it up, and I think you're the best. The amount of ground you're able to cover in just 15 minutes at a time that takes other youtube videos four hours to explain is astounding. Please keep doing what you're doing. Please.
This video did a great job of explaining what patriarchy is. Thank you, Leon.
Thanks. This series is clear, to the point, gripping, excellent.
This series is so well researched.
Subscribed. Bell set to "all." No alert this existed. Grr. Saving for later when I can focus.
Great video, I love your content. Keep going!
Your material really is fantastic! Your earnestness and thoroughly honest examination of the issues really is second to none. Thank you for your work!
Im impressed by the production value
Thank you. I do my best.
Always doing good work
Excellent video, I've watched it twice already.
These are important videos and more people should watch these.
Wow great work as always, Leon.
thank you for doing this series. this is great education, and well organized to help clarify things. at a certain point while listening, the RAtM song, "Know Your Enemy" started playing in my head. I will be listening to this series multiple times to better internalize the information.
Love these, Leon!!
I want to thank you for trying to make parsible a topic that quite a few people have been taught they cannot handle. You're one of the good ones.
This is a good video to show people when you want to introduce them to the discussion.
Excellent stuff keep up the good work!
Big fan, will watch this eagerly, most likely will need a rewatch or three
35:20 take the interesting case of Serbia: for last 6 years we had female head of the government, who is also lesbian.
Not a single problem for women or lgbtq+ were adresed.
I'd really like to see Ableism addressed.
Same.
Excellent video as always.
Yes this is such important information!
Thank you for this series
I was going to sleep but goddammit I can’t skip this till morning
Engagement!
Thanks for all you do. These videos are great
These videos are always great
Amazing video as always.
This video really explains the problem in a calm and accessible way. The part about how implicit bias is learned ties into discussions about harmful tropes and the idea that we can have those tropes while acknowledging that they don't just exist in a vacuum. Fiction is not the root of all evil, but people are affected by fiction. The more you repeat ideas, however inaccurate, the more likely people are to believe them.
Thank you for your work.
Great as always!
Really good video, good sources, easy to digest but not shallow
Thank you!
Great video!
Also, I want to thank you for a weirdly specific scene (it's at 16:45 or so). The males in the scene are clearly standing on even-ground, and our plucky protag is ignored. It's very well curated and I've been impressed.
This is another really good video.
I am so sad this is absolutely terrifying. I am so scared for our future. Not to mention global warming. We are so doomed…
It's very sad, and very terrifying, and I often feel similarly. We've lost a lot on both of those issues, and so many more besides. But I wouldn't want anyone to take that as a reason to stop struggling towards a better society, and a safer ecosystem. We can't undo past damage or wrongs, which is tragic, but we do still have a future we can shape. We can push back against these hierarchies, and the environmental damage which hasn't yet been done. Not easily, and not alone, but I think that hope is worth holding onto.
People have been scared since the 70s
You can stop caring if you like
And get scared again later
Wont change anything so might as well take care of yourself
This is devastating and amazingly written.
Another great video!
Good shit as always
another great video, thank you.
great episode
