Wow, this is a loaded topic. Men don't suffer from internalized oppression as much as women, true enough. But it's not that cut and dried. Take incels, for example. They see the "chads" as their competition and they're bitter that they haven't won the prize. A woman being the prize, of course.

With women, there's so much internalized oppression it's hard to know how to even begin to unpack it. It's not even just at home. I could give a little boy a doll and tell him he's going to be a good daddy one day, but when he starts school, he's still going to learn what he didn't at home.

And vice verse. You know? You can teach a little girl to see herself as equal, but the world will show her different.

Nice piece, thanks for writing it. :)
