    There are many feminists who like blaming men for stuff. Men sexualise women, only see them as objects, don’t respect them, and so on. But when you look at women’s magazines, many articles written by women themselves, they tear each other down the entire time. “Look at what she wore to the gala! How ugly!”, “Big faux pas by FAMOUS ACTRESS!”, “FAMOUS ACTRESS really shouldn’t go outside looking like this”, and so on. And other women absolutely love. It’s all some can gossip about. And somehow that get turns around to “the patriarchy” and in turn “men are to blame”.

      “The patriarchy” is not code for men, just fyi. Women policing other women’s clothing and appearance fits into the patriarchy, because it’s a reinforcement that women’s only value is based on their sex appeal.
