I’ve listed a bunch of things that are factually correct, e.g., most rapes of women are perpetrated by men. I didn’t say all, I said most. And because you don’t have a leg to stand on, you keep twisting my words in that way. I’ve listed other things that have factually happened to women and are still happening today. That’s not a perspective, sweetie— it’s truth; it’s history. Why is that so hard for you to understand?

Whether or not men also suffer under this system (yes, they absolutely do) is not relevant to the origins of patriarchy and it’s ensuing effect on women, which is your premise. You are trying to eradicate the history of what has taken place as a way to encourage looking at a broader, more nuanced picture, but it’s not necessary to go into propaganda like this in order to do so. You don’t have to blot out the history of life as a woman for the past 10K years in order to also talk about other things that are a problem. It’s just unneccessary.
