I don't care about achievements and accomplishments, I'm quite content to be a worker-bee. Again, there is no "you all", but I will try to speak for others only to say I think what was and is still being fought for is equal pay (one egregious example is the U.S. Women's soccer team, who actually wins games, attracts bigger crowds and sells more merchandise than the Men's team but is paid far less) and equal opportunity, like the first female IBM CEO who wasn't allowed in the country club the company used for business deals until 2012, only 6 years ago.
Those women earned their accomplishments, but then hit roadblocks that existed only due to their gender. They just want the roadblocks removed.
OH GOD NOT THE "WAGE GAP" CANCER AGAIN
So where is the speaking up for male nurses, male models and male teachers???
Except I don't have anyone speaking up on me, but you GIRLS have a Metoo and literal laws in college campuses and whatnot..
You have centuries of laws and culture that has been consistently speaking up for you. And you yourself said that men will continue to be in charge forever. Why does someone who belongs to the group that controls everything need someone else to speak up for him?
Ah, if that’s true why are you whining like a little boy that you’re so persecuted? You’re simply not credible.
Then you are not in my shoes, I may not be systematically oppressed, does not make my obstacles and hardships any less hard to remember... Hey I guess even the minor racism I experienced doesn't do it eh?
But why is the appeal mostly liberal women I beg to wonder
Because we have become a very divided country and forums and social media play up and increase the divide. I suppose back in the day when women were fighting for the right to vote, many conservative women were against it. Conservatives tend to like the status quo, IDK. Religion plays a role too I suppose. When my niece was very religious as a younger woman, she was very much a "I have to leave to make sure dinner is on the table" type of woman.
I'm not sure what you mean by "appeal" though. Women (and men) are just telling secrets they have kept buried for years, no different than the adults who started coming forward en masse as the Catholic church scandal began to break, eager to tell their stories that affected their lives so much. They certainly weren't liberal women, but mostly conservative men.

Does not mean those laws always heavily favored men, sure I will admit the patriarchy is also to blame here, but so is the nature of hyper-gamy and human competition...

So how should we control women's vote? The argument is a 50/50 of women like to vote for government programs all the time, the other half for even worse family paycheck programs???
Does the increased government spending make you think a bit or not???

Uh, yeah, that's kind of the point. Patriarchy does mean those laws always heavily favored men.
Your victimhood throughout this thread is a direct symptom of a patriarchy on the wane. I'm afraid you are not going to like the future.
