History, from the matriarchies of old to the queens of Ancient Egypt, shows that “rulers” and “patriarchy” aren’t a package deal. Patriarchy isn’t a symptom of hierarchy. It’s a distinct engine of oppression. Abolishing class doesn’t automatically liberate women from the material reality of unpaid household labor.
We cannot treat gendered or racial division resolving as an inevitable byproduct of a classless society. Cultural superstructures lag behind economic shifts, and these autonomous divisions don’t simply resolve to match a new base.
Praxis is the refusal to treat the domestic struggle as a secondary theater of the revolution. By naming and engaging the material roots of gender, race, and the “IQ” myth today, we forge solidarity with groups historically kept on the sidelines, unifying the masses for the broader class struggle. We don’t wait for these hierarchies to evaporate. We name them and bring the fight to them.

Abolition of class is a nice idea, but in the meantime, what would you call patriarchy instead?

There’s always going to be issues with the terms because both any termd chosen will fail to capture both the internal and external perspectives. Toxicity, for example, only shows how a certain type of manhood effects people who come in contact with it. However, a young man searching to be an adult in the world may come across this way of being a man and doesn’t necessarily see it as a good fit. So it’s too “rigid”. I’m not sure we’d want to talk about one’s “rigid manhood” but the quality is notable. We could also use the term “The Man Box” to capture the difficulty of people who struggle to meet these impossible standards.
I also like the term hyper-masculity, but there are worthwhile questions there too.
It’s important that remember that no term will do a great job of capture the full range of issues facing society and men, but even a cursory investigation will show how different vantage points help show and counter balance different terms.
For white privledge, we have to remember that in this society the baseline or default is white, male, young, affluent, etc. These people don’t get that suspicious look or assumption that they aren’t capable or criminal or dishonest like the OP noted. We could say society has minimal friction for them.
So as to not just have some more noise, here are some of my dumb suggestions: white tailwind, white standard, white default, white baseline, presumed while white.

First, fuck you.
You were not part of the discussion at to assume that we didn’t discuss these issue at our table is disgusting. Second, where the fuck do you get off thinking that our district supports these programs materially and that a teacher recommendation was sufficient enough to place in the non-segregated TAG program.
I can’t emphasize this enough. Fuck you
- Comment on A sudden epiphany. 3 days ago:
This is a highly limited context of your experience and situated when you went to school and where you went. I can only talk about the TAG program in my district and they use testing and are very strict about it.
Our child was referred by a teacher and we were encouraged to pursue it. There’s more to say about the program and it’s role in society, but these type of comments preclude a discussion on child needs and wealth.

Agreed. I think a lot of the people talking about how they are self taught are working in tech and software and they were hire twenty years ago or more. (Can’t wait till someone sounds off about how they got hired nine years ago).
Most other technical jobs are in far more mature fields. College may expose you to ideal situations that overconstrain your ability to get the job done in a corporate setting, but it still exposed you to a set of problems you don’t have access to otherwise. Mainly because these industries are in communication with the deans of these colleges and giving them feedback on what they need to see more of.

It is way too common to confuse the abstractions we use to understand reality with reality itself. Like the scientists who work with this stuff are really consistent in keeping the two separated
I wish this was true. I remember seeing a physicist talking about how the laws of physics are mathematical in nature and that the laws of physics needed to exist before the universe do the universe is made of math. I don’t think the vast majority of physicists have a philosophical grounding for the types of ontological claims they make. Even less so since “shut up and calculate” became the professional axiom.

“Jason knew that this was beyond him. And some deep inside him rose. A deep knowing that he could take this the minataur. Sterlingly strong, the minataur stood with a knowing going in his eyes. This wasn’t his first rodeo. “Don’t fail me now” Jason thought as he gripped his staff ever tighter.”
“The minataur thrust himself at Jason. A tangled mess of limbs and horns, they jostled for position. Jason held the minataur’s head down by the horns. “I’ve got you now” as he moved to thrust his staff deep inside the … The world a twirl, Jason found himself on his back, lurching. Something gored him and the man-beast had struck the first blow. He had never felt anything like this before. The power. The grace. The yearning for release. He was no longer in control. When was the last time he wasn’t in control?”

Mordecai. Human. Level 50.
Manager of Princess Donut.
This is a non-combatant NPC.
This is a human. This one is something called a Canadian. Part French. Part maple syrup. He’s weirdly obsessed with ice hockey and snowmobiles and semi-erotic lumberjack fan fiction. Has a well-worn Tim Hortons loyalty card in his Velcro wallet. He says “aboot” instead of “about” and gets really, really upset when you point it out, claiming you’re hearing things and that it’s a harmful stereotype. It’s not a stereotype, and that’s exactly how it sounds. He has a relative who was trampled to death by a moose. You get the idea.
