>>40726Patriarchy as a system is still very present, you can see it on the way men protect each other, on the way men are given the benefit of the doubt in legal, political and economic matters. There is a systematic devaluation of women in favor of moids that goes well beyond simple biology.
And on that, i must concede that point: we will never stop being women and nothing we can do will separate us from our bodies, because we are our bodies. But we are not just our bodies, and biology is not our only tyrant. Power won't solve an unsolvable issue, one must accept it. But matters of individual and collective power, social dynamics and group behaviour; now that, can be changed.
And yes, acquiring personal power and capital will help you live better individually, and it is a requisite to enacting change.
The key here, is that women with power CAN better all women as a class(hiring only women, attracting and ensuring men is her life will have to center her, helping women reachbpositions of power or providing safe separatist spaces, etc.). All these things that will make women's lives better and men's power to wane will make things more livable. Remember, accept those things you cannot change, and change the things you have the power to.
