3. Women are brought in

Whether conscious or subconscious, women are brought up in the patriarchial system to support it and get what benefits they can personally from doing so. They can't have much, but by supporting the hate on women themselves, they can survive and have something, often thrive compared to those that do not support it or actively go against it.

Men rule and turn us into dog eat dog. Here in the west we see women being pitted against each other all the time for the benefit of men, we criticize each other mercilessly on appearance without even thinking about how that all got started or who it benefits. We criticize each other for too much success or the "wrong" kind, for personal choices etc.... It's nasty and all to support the Patriarchy.
