With Cathy having over 20 years of experience working with Premier League football clubs, you’d expect that all of her clients would know who she was and at least give her the time of day.
Unfortunately, some guys still live in the past and don’t see women as their equals: they prefer dealing with other men. The result? It impacts women’s businesses. Look, at the end of the day, if the bottom line is one of the things that suffer as a result of sexism, something seriously needs to change.
Very recently, Bored Panda spoke about sexism, misogyny, and toxic masculinity with a representative of the ‘Fight the Patriarchy’ Facebook page, as well as writer Ariane Sherine.
According to ‘Fight the Patriarchy,’ it’s vital to protect the “preborn rights” of everyone: “We don't have to choose, we can fight against all oppression."
“A privileged group thinking they are superior to an underprivileged group is the core of social injustice. Each generation of privileged individuals get taught that they are somehow special and they continue on the oppression of the underprivileged," the representative of the ‘Fight the Patriarchy’ project shared with Bored Panda.
"Whether we're talking about men acting superior to women, born humans acting superior to preborn humans, cishet individuals acting superior to LGBTQIA+ individuals, white folks acting superior to POC, humans acting superior to nonhuman animals, or able-bodied individuals acting superior to the disabled, what would need to change is each of these privileged groups being open to how they or their ideologies have harmed the underprivileged."
According to ‘Fight the Patriarchy,’ true justice can only be achieved when people are “deprogrammed from the oppression they were raised to believe is ‘just how life works.’”
"Cismen need to be able to have an open mind and hear people out as well as tackle the prejudices that have been instilled in them by society. Capitalism, religion, white supremacy, patriarchy, born supremacy, and human supremacy are all detrimental power structures that have harmed vulnerable groups, but it doesn't have to be this way. The individuals who these systems benefit have to do the work to unpack that within themselves."
Meanwhile, writer Ariane said that, in her opinion, what lies at the core of sexism and misogyny is the fear of women’s power and resentment that they’re growing stronger.
“It's not as easy to subjugate us anymore. Of course, men still hold most of the power and wield male privilege, but they're being held to account more and more, and many of them aren't happy about this at all," she told Bored Panda.
