We need to cultivate a culture where we don’t allow privilege to influence our willingness to investigate abuse claims. Coming from the nonbinary community where abuse rates are high and male-female dynamics are less common, I’ve noticed most people will simply side with whoever is their friend. As a result, the people with the most social privilege can get away with abuse, and people with more severe mental disabilities such as autism have fewer friends and get abused more. Coming from my perspective, I believe when gender privilege is introduced into the equation is just one more modifier on the loyalties I already saw determining people’s reactions instead of facts.
If we had a society built around the principles of those social dynamics instead of trying to suppress them (I am not saying that’s what you’re doing), we’d be in a much better place imo.

Which social dynamics?
All of them
Like Patriarchy? I think a society based on the social dynamics of patriarchy is bad.
Nah, take the fact that it and all of the -isms play important roles in how people think and act and take steps to mitigate it.
Accepting evil is not the same as embracing it.
