Then again, they cite the pay gap I bet - which is literally the same thing.

Some say 'pay gap for women continues after retirement' so yep

*The core fundamental theory of feminism is the patriarchy theory
No, it is advocating for gender equality*
Patriarchy theory is a secondary element
*and reduces men and women into binaries of oppressor and oppressed respectively.*
Very few feminists I have met actually do this
Vast majority do not

---------

*Patriarchy theory is the theory which they analyze the world, in order to advacate for women's rights*
A theory, one that is not nessecary and that not every feminist uses.
*Patriarchy theory essentially reduces humans into binaries*
I think you need to read up on what patriarchy theory actually is. It is flawed, yes, but it is not the root of all evil

*And almost every feminist believes in it.*
Problem is, there are many different strains of the theory.

There maybe different strains of feminism.
Almost all feminist social analysis is atleast in part based on patriarchy theory. Including the Duluth's model.

But again, which patriarchy theory? Define the one you refer to

Men exercising control over women due to their gender privilege... Which is the basis of Ellen pence's formulation of Duluth's model

That is very rarely used as a definition of Patriarchy Theory.

There are far more common uses

It's the most widely used in feminist theory.

Maybe laymans use it less

It is not the most widely used.

Then why is Duluth's model based on it

Do feminists believe in patriarchy theory, yes or no

I dunno. The duluth model is not the be all and end all of feminist theory, despite what so many think

Check the wiki. You'll find the instances of the uses of patriarchy theory

Which wiki?

It's a feminist formulation

Any wiki

How about Geek Feminism's wiki?

"the system of gender-based hierarchy in society which assigns most power to men, and assigns higher value to men, maleness, and "masculine traits"."

Fits pretty well with most gender theories

(note how men's issues is not included in the higher value list)

This definition is reductionist as the rest

Power is not limited to the male gender

"most"

Male power occurred due to a variety of reasons

One being, they were liable to fight, protect and die for the tribe

Ding ding ding

That's the price of power

Aye, it is

>Ding ding ding

Is that the menslib way or the chapo way

chapo?

And no, it has nothing to do with any affiliation to any group

Feminism is defined as the 'advocacy for women's rights on the basis of equality'

This in itself assumes that equality will be attained if *women are raised to men*.
The word feminism in itself assumes that men have no problems.

That is the worst interpretation I have ever seen \

it doesn't assume anything like that

Equality will not be attained if you just advocate for women's rights

It's the dictionary definition of feminism
